📣Our recap on Maryland's legislative session is live! Read on for a rundown on the important victories, the missed opportunities & the concessions to fossil-fuel industry interests we need to call out. 👇 earthjustice.org/experts/susan-…

Since its creation in 2008, MD’s energy efficiency program, EmPOWER, has yielded $4 in savings for every $1 spent. But EmPOWER can make an even bigger impact if @MarylandPSC makes commonsense reforms. Read more. @RightToZeroDMV baltimoresun.com/2024/12/19/mar…

Check out a new op-ed from Tim Oberleiton and Susan Stevens Miller urging Maryland to address its pollution problem by ending wasteful subsidies on gas equipment.

.@EPA approved an important waiver to allow states like Maryland to address their air quality problems and protect vulnerable populations by increasing the sale of electric passenger cars! ⚡️🚗 sierraclub.org/press-releases…

Today, @SenMarkey introduced the All Aboard Act, which would provide $80 billion to expand passenger and high speed rail! This bold bill offers a long-term vision for the U.S. rail system and lays the tracks for an all-electric rail system. 🚆⚡ earthjustice.org/press/2024/new…

ICYMI, a report found gas stoves are filling DC homes with asthma-linked NO2, but a local news outlet pulled the story. People deserve to have this critical information. heated.world/p/dc-news-stat…

Days before Thanksgiving, @WUSA9 took down its story about pollutants @BeyondGasDC found in 600+ DC and MD kitchens with gas stoves. Is our local gas utility @washingtongas burying the truth and hiding the danger facing families? @wcp is taking a look: washingtoncitypaper.com/article/754087…

It looks like the utility Washington Gas convinced a TV station to pull a story about the dangers of gas appliances. This is just wrong. People deserve to know the harmful impacts of living with gas. washingtoncitypaper.com/article/754087…

Methane gas is dirty and dangerous. @BeyondGasDC tested the real risks of using gas stoves in your home. The results? More than 2/3 of Maryland and DC homes had unsafe levels of NO2 🤯 ejus.tc/3CSo7g0

Happening now!

A report we released today with our Beyond Gas coalition found that 63% of the 663 homes we tested in Montgomery County & DC exceed EPA’s NO₂ standards from gas stove pollution. Healthy air starts with clean energy solutions. Read the report here: bit.ly/3CBarWF

Beyond Gas D.C. report says researchers found nitrogen dioxide levels over the health standard from the Environmental Protection Agency. wusa9.com/article/tech/s…

Shortly after Lindsay moved to Baltimore, we measured nitrogen dioxide levels while her gas-burning stove was on. NO2 levels reached more than 4x the EPA’s outdoor safe limit of 100 ppb. Burning gas indoors isn't healthy. Read @beyondgasdc report: beyondgasdc.org/cooking-up-dan…

“Supporting families to upgrade our homes with cleaner, high efficiency electric appliances such as induction cooktops is not just important for the climate, it’s a public health necessity.” - Barbara Briggs, @BeyondGasDC wusa9.com/article/tech/s…

NEW REPORT from @BeyondGasDC found that 63% (!!!) of kitchens they tested in DC and Maryland exceeded EPA’s outdoor air quality standards. Gas has no place in our homes. beyondgasdc.org/cooking-up-dan…

Hurry!🚨 It's the last day to submit a comment telling DC's Public Service Commission to STOP Washington Gas from keeping residents relying on dirty methane gas. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-p…

We've tested >660 gas-burning kitchens for nitrogen dioxide, a health-harming pollutant produced by 🔥 gas. We'll release our findings Thursday. In short: We measured 🚨hazardous🚨 NO2 levels in >6 in 10 kitchens. Join us Fri 11/22 12 pm to learn more: actionnetwork.org/events/beyond-…
