This is not the kind of precipitation we mean when we say Protect Our Winters!
An increase in water vapor in the atmosphere from warming global temperatures is leading to an increase in hailstorms with bigger more damaging hail and our friends in Denver just got a taste.

TLDR: Renewables are hot, fossil fuels are not.

All memes aside, the Arctic needs our help!
Arctic drilling won’t lower gas prices at the pump, it will only irreversibly damage one of the last intact ecosystems on earth.
Tell your representatives to pass the Arctic Refuge Protection Act now.

As global investment in renewables continues to speed up worldwide (up 8% in 2025), the US is being left behind and is more vulnerable to price volatility. While fossil fuels are global commodities whose prices reflect that, wind and solar are cheap and local.

This research doesn’t stay in the field. It shapes how we understand the climate crisis, and how we fight it.
Please consider making a gift today on Earth Day and being part of the work that turns knowledge into action.

Happy Earth Day!

Renewables keep hitting new heights, even as the Trump Administration tries to hold them down.
This may be the first time renewables have overtaken gas at this level, but we’re certain it won’t be last.

How much better are renewables for the environment, really?
The answer is: a lot better.

The Trump Administration’s most recent attack on our planet is dismantling parts of the US Forest Service (USFS) in a move that follows tha same playbook as the BLM relocation which led to a ~90% headquarters staff loss that the agency still hasn’t recovered from.

This winter season was a rough one, late opens, early closures and difficult backcountry conditions.
We’re working to make sure spring skiing is not a thing of the past!
Join us.

The Trump Administration has a vendetta against offshore wind.
Using taxpayer dollars to pay off energy companies to abandon offshore wind projects isn’t a good use of our money or a stable plan for our energy supply.

Keep extraction out of public lands.
The Congressional Review Act is being abused to give Congress the ability to move fast and lock in weaker protections for our public lands for years.

Fossil fuel companies are running a smear campaign on clean energy.
Awareness is step one in combating this attack on our sustainable future.

Act for the Ocean!
We need to keep raising our voices to protect the ocean from the Trump administration’s disastrous offshore drilling plan.

Congress is moving right now to strip protections from Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument using the Congressional Review Act (CRA). If they succeed, it could quickly clear the path for oil, gas, and mining on these public land
