Mary Anne Hitt

Publication day! I have an essay in this book ed. by Rebecca Solnit and @Thelma_Lutun, and the title sums up everything I’ve ever tried to say about climate change in three words – “Not Too Late.” With @leahstokes @MaryHeglar @adriennemaree @JacquelynGill @kayla_nikayla & more 💚

MSNBC should have Kornacki go through climate data with the same enthusiasm. “Here you can see an EXTRAORDINARY rise in CO2. I’m also keeping a close eye on methane emissions which seem to be surging. All this means real trouble for…everyone.”

@miniver @drvolts @NRDCNY_Rich Haven’t seen season 2 yet but I will!

@maryannehitt @drvolts @NRDCNY_Rich S1 felt like it was made Just For Me. ‘The West Wing’ only Gen X razorblades instead of Boomer syrup. S2 was fun … but also frustrating. I am confident that Doc Volts will feel much the same way.

Imagine: Inflation falls as families unshackle from volatile FFs. GDP booms by hundreds of billions per year, creating millions of new jobs paying good wages. GHG emissions plummet. newsweek.com/biden-harris-c… It's up to us to make it happen. With love, from me & @AdrianDeveny

@JRSLLVN Congratulations from a fellow public-school kid from Tennessee!

I’m just a public-school kid from Tennessee, and today The New York Times reviewed my book. It’s a good day.

@JRSLLVN I saw Margaret Renkl's post about this - thanks for reaching out! I'll order it from my bookstore now. I look forward to having the book in my hands. Thanks for telling this important story, which is especially close to my heart since I grew up in Tennessee. Much appreciated.

@maryannehitt Hi. I just published a book all about Kingston disaster. I hope you’ll check it out a.co/d/b6PZhx5

Never forget the 50+ workers who died after cleaning up coal ash from the infamous spill at TVA’s Kingston coal pant, 13 yrs ago today. May they rest in power. Remember whenever someone from the industry tells you coal ash is inert & harmless, it’s a lie. appvoices.org/2020/12/22/kin…

The stakes of this election are huge for the climate. @cleantechsonia and I wrote about the work ahead to reduce climate pollution while building an opportunity economy. newsweek.com/biden-harris-c…

The Pirkey coal plant in east Texas was demolished today, after years of @SierraClub advocacy. SWEPCO announced retirement for the plant back in 2020, but it finally came down today. One more TX coal plant down, 13 remaining. Go @BeyondCoal! kltv.com/video/2024/10/…

An old Air Force buddy of mine is an EMS worker [firefighter/EMT] in east Tennessee and he messaged me earlier today and his text was basically (paraphrasing): "saw the videos you've been sharing and that's nothing. Those videos are just from people who are in places with service. Wait until you see what's happened where there's no service" Unfortunately I think he's probably right. This storm and the scale of the flooding that's resulted from it is truly hard to comprehend... #Flooding #flood #WNC #Appalachia #Tennesseeflooding #Erwintennessee #ashevilleflooding #boone #rural

This Appalachian girl is ready for VP debate night. Thanks for the shirt @BitterSouth.

I grew up and spent half my life in East Tennessee and Western North Carolina. I work on climate change daily, but nothing prepares your heart for seeing your home destroyed by a climate disaster. Sending everyone in the path of the storm my love and prayers 💔

@PettyLupone Omg who is this? The timing is perfection. Love it.

When I say comedy plays a pivotal role in our political discourse this is what I mean.

My dear colleague @maryannehitt on @wvpublicnews talking about the transition from #coal to clean energy in WV and how the state slow walking the transition is costing consumer higher utility bills. wvpublic.org/one-of-coals-t…

Our future president @KamalaHarris tonight at the DNC: “The future is always worth fighting for.” 🇺🇸❤️💙💚🌎

This video from the DNC tonight is worth a minute of your time – powerful video on climate and @KamalaHarris and what’s at stake in this election:

“She held polluters accountable for spilling oil into the San Francisco Bay. She defended President Obama’s clean power plan in court. And as vice president, she cast the tie breaking vote for the most ambitious climate action plan in our nation’s history.” —@DebHaalandNM

Rep. @MaxwellFrostFL: This election is about every drop of water we consume and every breath we breathe. Fighting the climate crisis is patriotic. Unlike Donald Trump, our patriotism is more than some damn slogan on a hat. It's about actually giving a damn about the people that live in this country!
