Hey @nationalgridus all us WFH types would find it really helpful if we had some idea of why the power went out in JP/boston, and whether there are any plans to fix it. #Boston#powergrid#outage
The @IEA’s bombshell new report on renewables has incredibly good news.
For example, solar is undergoing a mega boom & may surpass coal by 2027

🎉Happy Birthday @BBC on your 100th birthday! When you were founded we had a King, no one knew if they could afford to put their heating on and we'd just lived through a global pandemic. Times really do change!
A great day in Rhode island with @offshorewindus providing the #offshorewind ready training for @InnovasjonNorge companies thinking of entering the US market.
As a reminder, it’s doesn’t have to be like this. We can still choose cleaner air, better jobs, more efficient comfortable homes, more renewable energy, and more nature. #RenewableEnergy#ClimateActionNow
The average temp this August in Massachusetts was 74 degree Fahrenheit, more than 6 degrees higher than the August average over the 20th century. wbur.fm/3rZfQyc
DROUGHT DEEP DIVE: don't expect this pattern to change soon. The #ClimateCrisis makes droughts like we are seeing in the Northern Hemisphere 20X more likely. #ActOnClimate#ClimateAction
Here’s a quietly wonderful thing I noticed:
If you talk to someone who was in choir or band at a majority Black HS, you’ll eventually discuss those annoying fundraisers for uniforms, instruments, etc. & a SURPRISING number will casually say:
“Oh, Dolly Parton paid for ours”
Our batties love fresh, soft enrichment for their squishy butts. Zeus is all smiles because he received fresh white pine today. The cooler temperatures are approaching which means it’s almost snoozing weather for the bats and they love curling up to their enrichment items ❤️

“Offshore wind is the best bang for our buck in terms of meeting our energy needs but also taking care of our environment and meeting our climate change goals as well.” - @JedThorp Thank you for your testimony last night! pbn.com/federal-regulators-t…
