Montpelier's disaster would have been so much worse had the dam there overtopped or failed. Thankfully, it didn't but experts say that as climate change brings stronger storms, dams across the region are at risk. https://t.co/nsRL6xxag7

“It looks like the gas companies used AIM as a kind of front group, really, to hide behind,” said @itai_vardi. “These e-mails show that the pipeline industry, Enbridge, and the gas companies were the main drivers here in terms of providing money.”

Out today: Study touting hydrogen — a technology favored by gas firms — was funded by gas interests, e-mails show https://t.co/CggUV4Yrh6 via @BostonGlobe

3/3 That deserves intensive scrutiny and vivid storytelling. Contact me if you think this is a fit.

[Steven Wilmsen @swilmsen]

2/3 It's a special job for a special reporter. We'll prize great storytelling, experience with data, and accountability work. We don't necessarily need climate experience. Our team's driving philosophy is that tackling the climate crisis is a matter of urgent public interest.

[Steven Wilmsen @swilmsen]

1/3 Journalist friends: I'm looking for an experienced reporter to join the @BostonGlobe's mission-driven climate team, Into the Red.

[Steven Wilmsen @swilmsen]

@kate_selig @vgmac @wangsness @janetwalshglobe Grateful for your spirit, sensibility, and great talent, @kate_selig. Let's keep in touch.

Just after midnight, and it’s official: MA House and MA Senate conferees have filed a terrific climate bill. Expect legislative approval tomo … no, make that today. I’m going to bed.

[Evan Allen @EvanMAllen]

I am so honored and amazed. Thank you to @SH_Awards, and to the most amazing team I could imagine: @swilmsen, a hero of an editor who believed in this story when I didn’t, @BethTeitell, who read every letter and talked me off every ledge, and to @ryanhuddle who made it beautiful.

[Steven Wilmsen @swilmsen]

Thank you to @SH_Awards and massive congrats to @EvanMAllen and @BostonGlobe. Incredible recognition for an incredible story.

The Scripps Howard Award for Excellence in Human Interest Storytelling:

The Boston Globe – “Under the Wheel”

@EvanMAllen

The #ScrippsHowardAwards are LIVE now on @Newsy!

Watch the @BostonGlobe's story: https://t.co/98UbdMAPPV

[Columbia Journalism School @columbiajourn]

The #BergerAward Jury said Allen’s story is “deep reporting…with elegant prose” and “comes as close as possible to what all long-form narrative writers hope to accomplish – inhabiting the inner psyche of a character.”

[Columbia Journalism School @columbiajourn]

Allen investigated so-called “dynasty families” in underserved neighborhoods – families that seemed to bequeath a legacy of violence upon each new generation. Allen wanted to better understand it – what its roots were, why and how it propagated, and its meaning.

[Steven Wilmsen @swilmsen]

Huge congratulations to @EvanMAllen @BostonGlobe

[Columbia Journalism School @columbiajourn]

Massachusetts needs at least 750,000 electric vehicles on the road by 2030. We are nowhere close. https://t.co/BgtgYbMycq via @BostonGlobe

[AG Maura Healey Archived @AGHealeyArchive]

Renewables should have full participation in our markets now, not in two years. My office remains opposed to this delay and will work to get it reversed.

[Taylor Dolven @taydolven]

👋Hey Massachusetts! Are you waiting on a rebate for an electric vehicle purchase?

@shankman and I want to hear from you!

Very glad to see the @BostonGlobe, one of America's great historic newspapers, opening up a full-time climate desk and page! This is the most important story in the world
