I'm so excited that my first book DIET FOR A SMALL PLANET is included. Wow! nytimes.com/2024/11/15/t-m…

Good morning with good news: US solar generation in January 2026 surged 15%, compared to January 2025. January solar in 2026 is up 69% over 2024! All RE rose 11%, generating 25% of US electricity. Coal FELL 12.8% & gas was down 3.4% in January electrek.co/2026/03/25/eia…

The most important thing about this amazing Paris transformation is how fast it happened —how fast people on bikes “appeared” —once streets were transformed. You can’t write this off as “#Paris was always this way,” because it wasn’t. It took leadership.

The Trump administration announced it will pay nearly $1 billion to French energy giant TotalEnergies in exchange for the company abandoning plans to build offshore wind farms in the Atlantic Ocean and instead pursue fossil fuel projects in the US. cnn.it/4uM0NXV

Costa Rica, once home to rampant logging, has now almost doubled the size of its rainforest. They turned it all around within a generation. It can be done. Protect people and the planet. #ActOnClimate #biodiversity #deforestation #rewilding #solutions

Pretty astonishing. In Texas, between 10:00 am and 4:00 p.m., 80-90% of electricity comes from carbon free sources. And storage is already a significant contributor in the early morning and evening

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks.

A widespread transition to renewable energy could mitigate a major cause of international conflict in a future that moves away from fossil fuels, energy and climate change experts told ABC News. Read more: abcnews.link/Jb4QZLu

New paper: Repowering existing U.S. wind farms with newer turbines could double current output so that the U.S. could meet up to 21% (instead of 10.5% currently) of electricity demand from wind. Paper: web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jac… Article anthropocenemagazine.org/2026/03/americ…

@SenMarkey Heartbreaking

The Trump administration has failed to provide proper medical care to detained immigrants. Now, it is moving all unaccompanied children who are pregnant to Texas, where abortion is banned. Blocking girls as young as 13 from critical reproductive care is cruel, unsafe, and unjust.

@Artofphysique_ Is one about to give birth? Is that the secret?

How many birds are there?

NEW | Renewable capacity additions grew 29% annually since 2023 – outpacing the 21% growth needed to triple global renewables by 2030 With just 12% annual growth from now to 2030, backed by more ambitious national targets, #3xRenewables is still possible ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

Kristi Noem: “There's no American citizens that have been arrested or detained. We focus on those that are here illegally. And anything that you would hear or report that would be different than that is simply not true and false reporting.” Is she lying?

Earth’s oceans have quietly crossed a chemical tipping point. A new global study reveals that 40% of surface waters and 60% of the deep sea have become too acidic for many shell-forming species to survive. This shift—driven by rising carbon dioxide absorbed from the atmosphere—is dissolving the calcium foundations of life itself. Corals, mollusks, and plankton are struggling to build shells. Fisheries face instability. Entire ecosystems that once buffered our climate are now destabilizing beneath the waves. The damage is especially severe in polar regions and deep nutrient-rich zones where life has always flourished. Scientists warn we may be underestimating the scale of change. Ocean acidification is no longer a distant concern—it’s a planetary boundary crossed. The chemistry that sustained marine life for millions of years is changing in mere decades, and its ripple effects reach every coastline on Earth. Via discvr blog

U.S. cars are parked for approximately 95% of their total time in use. And this is the mode of travel we let dictate our land use and urban design policies for almost every American city.
