It’s May. Wildfires already driving people from their homes, threatening the entire town of #FortNelson . How much worse is this summer going to get? Coal, oil and gas companies should be paying firefighting costs. They are responsible. vancouversun.com/news/local-new…

In today's NYT I argue that new fossil gas plants proposed by utilities to meet growing demand are less about reliability than profitability.

Building them could put climate goals out of reach.
Fortunately there are many low-cost, low-carbon alternatives.

15% of Georgian population was in the streets tonight.

15%.

In relative terms, this is the largest mobilization I heard or read of in human memory.

#TelAviv tonight: Tens of thousands of anti-govt protesters are again on the streets calling for the immediate ousting of @Netanyahu and his inept, corrupt, and messianic clan. #GazaWar

All-electric skyscraper is committed to the theme

Republican AGs turn their offices into taxpayer-funded law firms for Big Oil; and Big Oil lawyers write executive orders for Trump. Big Oil = Republican Party = Big Oil.

I'd make this the lead story in every paper and newscast on the planet.
If we don't understand the depth of the climate crisis, we will not act in time.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: President Biden is the most progressive president on domestic economic policy that we have ever had. Last night in his interview, he showed us that once again.

Let’s run through some of the major things that he and Democrats have accomplished.🧵

The Bible says a prophet is without honor in his own country
But if there was ever a moment for Tennessee to listen to its native son Al Gore, this is it. What is the TVA thinking? Just as the world turns to clean energy, they're going dirty.

Biden has not “lost his mind.” He is upholding the word of the US.

There are 1.3 million people in Rafah. You do not need to slaughter them to go after Hamas.

Biden stated the US red line was Rafah. It would make us weaker & the world less safe to let Bibi, or anyone, cross it.

My book GASLIGHT is out today.

It chronicles the 6-yr-long grassroots fight over a 600-mile fossil gas pipeline in Virginia and the longer industry campaign to sell methane as a 'climate solution.'

This is an outrage! By building a new gas plant, TVA would ignore the EPA and would disregard climate science, economics, and the voices of Tennesseans. Renewable energy is increasingly cheaper, more reliable, and better for our planet and its people.

Thank you Vice President Al Gore for calling on Tennessee Valley Authority to drop their gas plans and #ChooseSolar !

Bad

Rafah: a city of children.

Hundreds of thousands of them are sick, living with disabilities, malnourished or traumatized.

The children of Gaza need a ceasefire NOW.

It’s finally publication day for Troubled Waters and I couldn’t be more grateful. but it anywhere you buy books!
