South Dakota produces the equivalent of 95% of the electricity it consumes from solar, wind and geothermal sources. Our “State of Renewable Energy” dashboard with @EnvAm highlights other leading states in the transition to clean energy. frontiergroup.org/resources/…

🚨SHOCKING🚨: Amazon proposes an extra 414 backup diesel generators at its New Carlisle, IN data center complex. This brings the total for Project Rainier to 909 backup diesel generators totaling >2,400 MW. It will store more than 6.1 million gallons of diesel fuel onsite.🤯
Amazon is asking permission to destroy 5 acres of wetlands and nearly 1 mile of streams as part of its resubmitted proposal to add 14 data center buildings at a third site at its sprawling New Carlisle, IN campus. Public comment is due June 12.

The #solar and wind power we’ve already installed in the U.S. has cut global warming pollution by 900 million metric tons between 2019 and 2022 – an amount of pollution greater than the amount Texas emits in a year. 8/9

The sooner we power our lives with renewable energy, the better it will be for our health and our planet. Let’s do it. That is all. 9/9

Some sold recommendations here from @pewresearch on how to build a cleaner, greener and more resilient electric system focused on rooftop #solar, energy storage, and other technologies that make it possible for us to better manage our own electricity.
How can we make energy more affordable and reliable? Distributed energy resources (DERs)! DERs, like rooftop solar, batteries, and smart thermostats that allow consumers to generate, store, and manage their own electricity. Read @pewtrusts new DER policy playbook: pew.org/research-and-analysi…

Sharing new research compiled by @EnvAm, @uspirg and @FrontierGroupUS that shows how data center growth threatens air quality and progress toward a cleaner energy grid. ⬇️
New research released for #EarthDayEveryDay finds that despite the rapid growth of renewable energy usage, the even-more-explosive growth of data centers is delaying the transition to a cleaner grid in ways that could harm the air we breathe. environmentamerica.org/cente…

“While data centers use less than 1% of the state’s water today that could grow to 2.6% of our state’s water use, which might not sound like a lot, but when they’re located in some of these more drought-prone areas, the water stress on local rivers or aquifers could be significant,” said Luke Metzger, the executive director of Environment Texas. spectrumlocalnews.com/tx/sou…

States are getting with the program. Recently @GovernorVA signed smart solar permitting legislation into law and the MD General Assembly just passed a bill to eliminate obstacles to home solar and storage. environmentamerica.org/maryl…
