NEW: The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court's decision ignoring an environmental group's concerns over Alabama Power’s plan to leave 21 million tons of coal ash in an unlined pond near the Mobile-Tensaw Delta — one of the most biodiverse ecosystems, often called “America’s Amazon.” This case will continue in the courts to see if Alabama Power's plan can ruin this ecosystem. Communities deserve clean water, not toxic waste. insideclimatenews.org/news/19052026/…

Our Council Chair Michelle Deatrick joined documentary filmmakers Bonni Cohen and Jon Shenk for a conversation on The White House Effect — a film that traces how political battles during the George H.W. Bush administration derailed a crucial opportunity to act on climate change, setting the course for the crisis we face today. Organized and moderated by the wonderful @DemsAbroadECCC Chair @danafreling. 🔥 Watch on YouTube: demclimate.org/WHPanel #ClimateChange #ClimateAction #ClimatePolicy #Documentary #TheWhiteHouseEffect

🐢 Happy WorldTurtleDay! Turtles have roamed this planet for 200 million years. Trump wants to hand their ocean home to oil drillers. These animals don't have a lobby. And 129 of the world's 300 turtle species are currently endangered 🌊 Want to help? NOAA has a full guide on what you can do to protect sea turtles — from reducing plastic use to supporting coastal conservation. 🔗 fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-story/… #WorldTurtleDay #ClimateCrisis

Trump paid $928 million in taxpayer money to kill offshore wind leases — claiming national security. New emails show Interior drafted the deal BEFORE officials were ever briefed on those security concerns. Now Reps. @JaredHuffman & @RepRaskin have launched a formal investigation — and the California Energy Commission has opened one too. 🔗 heatmap.news/politics/huffm…

A WIN for water, electricity bills and community! Provo blocked a data center 7-0 after residents spoke up about water, power costs, and community impact. The city then passed rules capping data center sizes and requiring non-evaporative cooling. Local action, real results. 💪 datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/city-c…

Ofc this is legal under disclosure laws that Utah Republicans wrote and control. Laws so weak that the public has no right to know what's actually inside the Speaker of the House's "holding company" We're not dealing with an oversight. This is a system that was deliberately built to protect insiders, and it's working exactly as designed.
Bob Morris🌵☀️@polizeros

Utah Speaker of the House Mike Schultz bought 640 acres of land near the proposed Box Elder data center on January 3, 2025. What a coincidence! A politician who had actual ethics and integrity would have disclosed this. elevateutah.news/p/the-call-is-… 1/2

The clock is ticking on Line 5 and critical safety questions remain unanswered. PHMSA has never preemptively shut down a pipeline, and waiting is a choice we can’t afford to make in the Great Lakes. #ShutDownLine5 now.

💯 Thank you @UtahDemocrats
Utah Democratic Party@UtahDemocrats

The job numbers are speculative, the water protections are voluntary, and labeling public concern "misinformation" is not an answer, it's deflection. Our land, water rights, and the long-term health of the Great Salt Lake are too important to risk on promises alone. Utahns deserve binding commitments and independent oversight, not empty reassurances from the people profiting from this project.

Environmental Impact Studies should be a requirement for eveey single new data center.
Utah Democratic Party@UtahDemocrats

Keep in mind that no environmental impact studies have been done on the now-approved data center. O'Leary wants to power this facility with natural gas in a state that already has some of the worst air quality in the country. This one data center could increase Utah's air pollution by 65% just on its own. There were other options. Natural gas was a choice.

Louisiana v. Callais is a catastrophic attack on voting rights — and a gift to polluters. Cancer Alley communities — some facing cancer risks 47x the EPA threshold — just lost political power to fight back against the corporations poisoning them. Suppress the vote. Protect the polluters. Launching my Worth Fighting For Substack with this. open.substack.com/pub/michellede… #Callais #CancerAlley #VotingRights #EnvironmentalJustice
