CCL-SF at Yerba Buena Earth Day, 4/18/26

I see many posts talking about how 'resource intensive' wind and solar are. Check my math, but the world extracts, processes, transports, and burns 100 million barrels of oil a day, about 14 million metric tons worth. My best estimate of the weight of all the wind turbine blades installed ON EARTH today (caveat, used Claude to help estimate, check my math) is 20 million metric tons. So, 1.5 days worth of global oil consumption. AND THEY LAST FOR 20+ YEARS. Don't let people scare you with big numbers. There is nothing on earth more resource intensive than the oil and gas indsutry. It's just that when we burn oil and gas, the waste ends up mostly in the atmosphere (and your lungs), not in a landfill. As if that is somehow better?

"We found that the tipping point where the shutdown becomes inevitable is probably in the next 10 to 20 years or so. That is ... why we have to act really fast in cutting down emissions,” says PIK's @rahmstorf in @guardian's report on the new #AMOC study: theguardian.com/environment/20…

Almost every African country is now importing Chinese solar panels - and a LOT of them. 100MW may not sound a lot, but in context of the low levels of electricity supply in some countries, 100MW is pretty mahoosive..

This is the road we are on. The companies that caused the climate crisis are getting rich as they fuel the fire. @ExxonMobil : $55.7 billion @Shell: $39.87 billion @Chevron: $35.5 billion @BP_plc: $27.7 billion No time to waste. #ActOnClimate #panelsnotpipelines #cdnpoli

The battery boom has begun🔋⚡️ 69 GW were installed in 2024. That's 66% more than in 2023. Battery storage is modular, flexible, fast to deploy and prices are still falling. Its growth trajectory looks more like consumer electronics than traditional infrastructure.

World's largest (4.1 GW) offshore wind farm approved by Scottish government. Next largest: 3.6 GW. Project could generate enough electricity to meet the annual electricity needs of every Scottish home twice over. aol.com/one-worlds-lar…

Time to start doing something. #ActOnClimate

A single gas leak in Pennsylvania vented more than 1.4B cubic ft of methane into the atmosphere. That’s as much climate pollution as 261 coal plants! There’s nothing “clean” about “#naturalgas" We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #renewables
