Yesterday’s Camp Hale - Continental Divide National Monument designation is something to celebrate! Land protections make sure that treasured places stay around for our kids' kids to enjoy. https://t.co/Slj0U0wut4

Media keeps counting Biden/IRA climate progress. More important: how fast it happens. Cutting 40% by 2030 is mediocre. Cutting it by 2026 is a revolution. Numbers matter.

@ClintSimone Saw one on the road today.

.@AReynoldsCPUC @CliffCPUC @ShiromaCPUC @HouckCPUC the NEM 3.0 proposal helps no one but PG&E. Making solar completely unaffordable for most Californians is a terrible idea. California needs to continue to be a leader in this area! #SaveSolar

@climatefuturist Hoping for a negative test for you! How long will this go on? ❤️ sigh.

After months of building pre-production vehicles, this morning our first customer vehicle drove off our production line in Normal!  Our team's collective efforts have made this moment possible. Can't wait to get these into the hands of our customers!

@climatefuturist Excellent! We had one when I was a kid.

@DrManfredWolf @kerrvernon @MiriamWesselink @sjleinbach Goed om hem vandaag te herinneren.

@mariana057 I got it and I ain’t telling

[Steve Schaefer @steve_schaefer]

I just subscribed to Mike’s Cartoon Diary https://t.co/vyoNPaYCgG. I read Mike’s brilliant comic on his late grandmother’s WWII experience on the Nib today. He connects that worldwide crisis with today’s climate crisis in a profound way.

How do we make sure the coming wave of EVs works well with the electric grid? WeaveGrid has a solution. https://t.co/2KCbUqmWXW

Volvo's XC90 Recharge is electric part of the time and lovely all of the time. Until they make it all-electric, it's the big Volvo SUV to own. https://t.co/D9DQmVhXN4

[Secretary Deb Haaland @SecDebHaaland]

We must address the urgency of the climate crisis. Today I signed a Secretarial Order announcing the creation of a new Climate Task Force that prioritizes action on climate change and pursues environmental justice. We at @interior have a mandate to act.
