🥳 Huge thanks to everyone who came to Sacramento in support of the Plug-In solar bill! Because of your efforts, and the thousands of others who wrote, called, and met with legislators, the bill passed its first Senate Committee vote. THANK YOU, and stay tuned for next steps in the effort to bring Plug-In solar to California to help renters and homeowners alike lower their bills through the power of the sun.

Earlier this week, a truck spilled the highly toxic herbicide #paraquat into a northern California community, triggering a stay-in-pace order from local public safety agencies. The incident highlights why this deadly crop chemical should be banned in the U.S. ewg.org/news-insights/… via @ewg

So this is a lie... people have reported their PG&E bills increasing in JANUARY 2026. Stop screwing your consumers and milking their wallets for every possible penny. You got $2.6 BILLION in profit last year while raising rates. Your customers are not piggy banks, nor fools.
Pacific Gas & Electric@PGE4Me

On the frontlines, you use every tool possible to deliver safe and reliable gas and electricity. Our residential electric rates have gone down 5 times since 2024, lowering rates 13%. Learn more about how PG&E is on the frontlines for us all at pge.com

40 GRAND to reconnect to the grid? When the grid owner's gear is what caused the fire in the first place? @SCE This is absolutely heinous. The people of Altadena ought to be rid of you. #Solar #SolarEnergy #Energy #Utilities #Renewables #RenewableEnergy #Edison #California

After the Eaton Fire, @SCE is charging some residents as much as $40,000 just to reconnect to the electric grid. There’s a better way. Why not let the community of Altadena cut the cord with SCE. Let’s help them build with rooftop solar and energy storage systems that can reduce the need for an expensive and dangerous grid while also helping them join one of the nearby municipal utilities, like Pasadena?   It would be cheaper, safer & would directly benefit fire survivors & their communities.  Which politicians & candidates for office are willing to stand up to Edison & make it happen?

“The human cost of #paraquat is severe,” the groups wrote. “Peer-reviewed research shows that exposure to paraquat, particularly when sprayed within 500 meters of homes or workplaces, more than doubles a person’s risk of developing Parkinson’s disease – a progressive, incurable neurological disorder that is on the rise.” ewg.org/news-insights/… via @ewg

The "MAHA agenda" EPA chief Zeldin said was 'coming soon' is pure fantasy @alexformuzis/note/p-190658243?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=euiz" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@alexformuzis/…

My colleagues at @ewg analyzed California’s #pesticide residue tests & uncovered a troubling pattern: #PFAS pesticides showing up on a wide range of fruits & vegetables grown in the state - produce that ends up on plates across the country. ewg.org/news-insights/… via @ewg

What Kari said. Oh, and #MAHA is a scam.
Kari Hamerschlag@KariHamerschlag

Dear @MAHA_Action, Have you actually read the House GOP’s new Farm Bill draft, the main blueprint for ag policy? You say this administration is working to transition farmers away from pesticides — but this bill cuts conservation programs and doubles down on subsidies for chemical-intensive agriculture and expands support for pesticides in so many ways--including preempting state's rights to pass protective pesticide laws. (see @foe_us blog below). And let’s not forget the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill” steered $200B+ to chemical-intensive monocrops — crops that largely feed animals, fuel cars, and supply junk food and seed oils. Organic remains the only meaningful safeguard against pesticide exposure. The National Organic Program was cut from ~80 staff to ~30. and this farm bill does little to support organic farmers or organic transition. Meanwhile, USDA has slashed nearly a third of its conservation staff, leaving many NRCS offices barely functioning and little support to help farmers transition. USDAs recent announcement of a regenerative ag program (generated with no new funds) without more staff for TA or a guarantee that it wont support no till pesticide intensive farming is a farce and a drop in the bucket. There is no serious plan to transition U.S. agriculture to regenerative, chemical-free systems. In fact, all signs are that this administration is making that toxic-free future impossible at the moment.

Not only is PG&E continuing to try to deceit consumers with rate decreases, but they are also now LYING about decreases in general! Rates have not decreased, but INCREASED since the top of the year. These are sick tactics, @PGE4Me, SICK!🤢 #Rates #Bills #Energy #Solar #Utilities
Pacific Gas & Electric@PGE4Me

On March 1, PG&E lowered residential electric rates again — the fifth decrease since January 2024, and the third straight cut since last fall for customers who get both electricity supply and delivery from PG&E. That means electric bills are dropping about $5/month for most households. pge.com/en/newsroom/pr…

@ewg is sponsoring the legislation, SB 868, in California to crack open access to this clean energy technology for every resident in the state. Great to see one of the leading candidates for governor embracing this proposal.

Solar keeps getting cheaper, faster, and better. Balcony solar is fantastic—unbox it and hang it up. Any politician who opposes this technology is either ignorant or is beholden to utility monopolies. As governor, I'll unleash solar's full potential. canarymedia.com/articles/solar…
