Offshore wind keeps the lights on AND electricity bills lower! Vineyard Wind will be providing power at a fixed cost of $84.23 per MWh once fully operational - much cheaper than spot wholesale prices during the storm, which spiked to over $870 per MWh canarymedia.com/articles/offsh…

The first 2 operating utility-scale offshore wind farms in the U.S. — South Fork Wind and Vineyard Wind — performed as well as gas-fired power plants & better than coal-fired facilities during last month’s Winter Storm Fern ❄️ 🔌💡canarymedia.com/articles/offsh…

Great to hear Nova Scotia's Premier, @TimHoustonNS, discussing future partnerships with New England to deliver clean, reliable offshore wind energy - this is anything but a Heated Rivalry! 😉🏒 ⚡️🔌

.@SierraClub joined @GovKathyHochul & 600 union workers to rally in support of offshore wind in NY - demanding the Trump administration withdraw it's stop-work order. Union labor is ready to get back to work. Halting the projects threatens the state economy, jobs & energy grid💡

I published an op-ed in @Newsday highlighting how successful South Fork Wind Farm's first year of operation in New York has been. 💡 🔌 ⚡ We need more of these proven resources - with no associated ongoing fuel costs - on the grid ASAP. newsday.com/opinion/commen…

We delivered 1,000+ comments opposing the draft of the New York State Energy Plan because New Yorkers deserve a clean, fair energy future. @GovKathyHochul #ActOnClimate #PeoplePower #SierraClub

On Friday @SierraClub members joined @GovKathyHochul & hundreds of union members to rally in support of offshore wind - demanding the Trump administration withdraw it's stop-work order. @Newsday newsday.com/news/region-st…

Today members of the Mass Power Forward Coalition dropped off THOUSANDS of petition signatures to @jeffroy and @senatorbarrett, urging them to support S.2135/H.3237, An Act Establishing a Moratorium on New Gas System Expansion!

Op-ed from our Chapter Director and Efficiency for All's Leticia Colon de Mejias ..."Senate Bill 4 is good for people, public health, the environment, and the climate." #SB4 @CTHouseDems @CTSenateDems @SierraClub ctmirror.org/2023/03/28/ct-…

Another great group of people outside of the Capitol Area System (CAS) last week asking @GovNedLamont to commit to transitioning this system to clean, renewable, emission free energy! Time to break up with fossil fuels💔

Meet @BenJealous, Sierra Club’s incoming Executive Director! Ben, Former NAACP President, Coalition Builder & Community Organizer, is uniquely qualified to lead the Sierra Club at these intersections as our journey continues to create a healthy and sustainable planet for all.

Thank you to all the participants and speakers for having such a successful People's Hearing! @maura_healey we need an all-electric stretch code now! #NetZeroNow #Mapoli #NetZeroForAll

We're eager to see @jeffroy & @senatorbarrett collaborate with the new MA Governor @maura_healey to amend the new specialized stretch building code to remove the fossil fuel pathway. All electric, emission free buildings are better for our health & the climate. #mapoli #NetZero

Today students, Indigenous leaders & local activists delivered more than 64,000 petitions urging CEO of @Travelers, Alan Schnitzer, to join other insurers in committing to not insure oil & gas exploration in the Arctic Refuge. #ProtectTheArctic #StandWithTheGwichin

Today, Hartford community members & allies gathered outside the polluting CDECCA power plant calling on @GovNedLamont, @CTDEEPNews & @ConnDAS to commit to a 100% clean energy replacement for it and the buildings it serves, including the State Capitol!

Hartford community members gathered outside of the CDECCA power plant this afternoon! We’re asking @GovNedLamont to commit to protecting public health & fighting climate change by transitioning this plant to 100% clean, renewable energy!

Excellent op-ed by Dr. Mark Mitchell about the State of CT’s purchase of CDECCA (3 decade old fossil fuel plant with a history of polluting Hartford’s air & endangering public health) @GovNedLamont - replace this plant with renewable energy! @SierraClubCT courant.com/opinion/op-ed/…

CT now owns Capitol District Energy Center, an aging power plant with a history of polluting Hartford’s air & endangering public health🏭. Check out this op-ed & ask @GovNedLamont to replace this plant with renewable energy! #CleanUpCDECCA courant.com/opinion/op-ed/…

In the first half of 2022 utilities in MA spent $439k lobbying against bills promoting clean heating, rooftop solar, & more. Utilities like @nationalgridus & @EversourceMA have chosen to prioritize profits over lower rates, better health, & cleaner air ⤵️ levernews.com/in-massachuset…
