The BUILD America 250 Act includes a punitive annual fee targeting electric vehicle drivers — a fee that is unfair and economically unsound. Contact your representative today and urge them to vote NO on the BUILD America 250. share.nwmd.social/s/fK9xVlcx

Don't let Congress punish EV drivers for a problem they didn't create

Trump’s NOAA cuts would save less than a day and a half of Iran War spending

There's always money for war. But when it comes to protecting people from climate disasters, suddenly we're told the cupboard is bare.

Scotland just delivered one of the most powerful clean-energy statements in modern history. On multiple occasions, the country’s wind turbines generated around 200% of national electricity demand, producing far more power than Scotland itself needed. It can be done!!! No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #renewables

🇪🇸 Spain's electricity in 2000: 56% fossil, 2% solar & wind. By 2026: 44% solar & wind, just 17% fossil. The crossover came in 2023. Gas now sets the price only 15% of the time vs 89% in Italy. More in my forthcoming Substack newsletter 👇 janrosenow.substack.com/

Spiralling global temperatures (1850-2026) It is exactly 10 years since I first put this animated graphic of changes in global temperature online. #ClimateSpiral It instantly went viral. People watched it over and over again. It still offers the power to shock a decade on.

The hantavirus outbreak is a stark reminder that hollowing out CDC and walking away from WHO leaves Americans and the world more vulnerable. So far, this disease outbreak is small. The next may not be. That's why we need to rebuild CDC, rejoin WHO, and address disease spillover at the source.

Energy Secretary Wright says U.S. 'not ready' to escort oil tankers through Strait of Hormuz yet
