When it comes to energy, no one wants to pay more than they have to. But should we pay more for programs that promote energy conservation, energy efficiency and renewable energy? Even if we don’t benefit directly or immediately? We say yes. Here's why.

This story by @JenMcDermottAP includes great information from @SEIA and @joinember about how, despite opposition, #solar continues to grow -- 32 states now get the equivalent of 10% or more of their electricity from solar, #wind and #geothermal. apnews.com/article/trump-sol…

Residential rooftop #solar projects can take days, weeks or months to be approved. It doesn't need to be that way. CA, MD, TX, VA, NJ and CT have all passed state laws that provide instant (or near-instant) permitting for rooftop solar and batteries. environmentamerica.org/artic…

Thank you for taking action to urge your U.S. senators to protect public lands. Unfortunately, the Senate did not vote last night to make it harder to sell off our public lands – but the story doesn't end here.

The threats are still very real. With support from people like you, we're working to defend our public lands from being sold to the highest bidder, as well as working to protect special places like Minnesota's Boundary Waters and New Mexico's Chaco Canyon.

The more our senators hear from you about #publiclands, the more likely they are to do the right thing. Holding the line is going to take all of us, and we're glad you're standing with us.

You may not know just how hard old-growth trees are working -- or what we could lose if we let them disappear. Here are just a few of the reasons old growth trees are worth protecting. environmentamerica.org/artic…

We need your voice: The Senate is preparing for a vote that will impact whether or not our public lands can be sold to the highest bidder.

The U.S. produced enough solar energy in 2025 to power 36 million homes – a seven-fold increase from 2016. Our “State of Renewable Energy” dashboard tracks the rapid growth of solar and other clean energy technologies. frontiergroup.org/resources/…

Pennsylvania’s use of solar energy is on the rise, but the state still falls behind most of the country in adding more renewable energy on the grid. @PennEnvironment's Belle Sherwood breaks it down in this @AlleghenyFront story. wesa.fm/environment-energy/2…
