This is what I'm channeling right now: “I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I have just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.” -- @DianeSAckerman

“Do not come to the Embassy. Take cover in your residence on the lowest available floor and away from windows. Do not go outside. .. U.S. Embassy personnel are sheltering in place.” - US Embassy Kuwait statement as smoke was seen rising from the vicinity… ift.tt/7b2JqV0

Utah is the only state that permits plug-in “balcony solar” — but these other states are trying to catch up. canarymedia.com/articles/solar…

India and China, the world’s largest coal users, decreased power sector emissions simultaneously for the first time in over 5 decades. This shift was propelled by record-breaking growth in clean power generation in both countries over the past year. reuters.com/sustainability…

Being laid off from The Washington Post doesn’t erase the work or the responsibility to keep telling stories in a moment when they matter more than ever. I’ve built my career by showing up, digging in and putting people first. Reach me: ms.amber.ferguson@gmail.com

@Sammy_Roth So heartbreaking.

The Post has done some of America's best climate journalism. They won a Pulitzer for climate, then grew the team to 30+ people. Exec editor Sally Buzbee called climate "perhaps the century’s biggest story." Now down to 5 writers. Thank you Jeff Bezos. climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/washington-p…

I'm told the catastrophic Washington Post layoffs today include at least 14 climate journalists. Totally gutting. Details: climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/washington-p…

My heart is breaking for all the reporters at the Washington Post, but this cuts particularly deep. Having fewer people covering the environment, wildlife included, hurts us all.

The "real harm" in Trump blocking or slowing renewable energy projects is "the loss in the workforce and lost wages," GOP @SenCapito tells @SiegelScribe. "That could cost you at the ballot box," she said on Politico Energy podcast. Watch the episode: politi.co/4r69uKg

As of 1 p.m., power has been restored to all but 1,420 customers. 92% of the 17,000 customers initially affected by the outage have been restored. Crews continue to work to reroute power to restore as many customers as we can. While restoration progress continues, teams are executing the complex process that begins with making the area safe, then removing the damaged transmission lines from the ground.

Update: PG&E continues to work to restore customers in Stockton after a train derailment damaged transmission towers this morning. PG&E has crews on site. Approximately 17,000 customers were initially without power. As of 11:55 a.m., power has been restored to all but 4,300. We appreciate the public’s patience and will provide updates as more information becomes available.

We are aware of a transmission level outage related to a train derailment in the Stockton area affecting approximately 15,000 customers. PG&E crews are on the ground now, working closely with first responders. Our first priority is making the area safe. Once the site is secure, we will begin damage assessment and restoration work. We appreciate the public’s patience and will provide updates as more information becomes available.

We’re proud to announce the #XPRIZEWildfire Autonomous Wildfire Response Track Finalists! 🔥These teams are proving how advanced technologies can become real-world tools to make wildfire response faster, safer, and more precise. Meet the Finalists: xprize.org/news/fighting-…

A powerful and comprehensive picture of just how thoroughly US science is being hollowed out. As I say here, “the operation of science has been fundamentally altered. We’re going to see the repercussions of this for years.” nature.com/articles/d4158…

NEW CHART: Trump's "big beautiful bill" & other efforts to dismantle climate policy means the US will add an extra 7bn tonnes of emissions to the atmosphere from now until 2030, compared to meeting its former climate pledge under the Paris Agreement 🫠 carbonbrief.org/chart-trumps-b…

Thanks to @WBUR for letting me share what we know about the harms the Republicans' tax-cutting and deficit-busting bill will create for the U.S. power grid—less solar, wind and batteries, higher energy prices, and destruction of jobs and economic growth: wbur.org/hereandnow/202…

Thanks to Senate Republicans, 17 million people will lose their health care. Thanks to Senate Republicans, rural hospitals will close. Thanks to Senate Republicans, three million Americans, including veterans and seniors, will lose food assistance. Thanks to Senate Republicans, families will see their energy bills go up by $400 a year. Senate Republicans are doing all of this and more — hurting working people across our nation — in order to pay for $1 trillion in tax cuts for billionaires. There is still time to stop this bill before it passes in the House. Call 202-224-3121 and tell your representative to vote no.
