Putting toxic land to better use lowering electricity bills for thousands of homes? Yeah... that's what solar does. canarymedia.com/articles/solar…

⚡️+🔋 Solar and batteries deploy faster than any other source of power in America. Gas and nuclear are simply too far off to meet to rising energy demand.

Trump's attacks on the jobs and communities that rely on and want clean energy just never ends. #solarpower #solar whitehouse.gov/presidential-a…

This comparsion in the NYTimes today is pretty stark. China is racing ahead to be a high-tech exporter of 21st century technologies, while the US is doubling down on being a petro-state exporting the technologies of the 19th century: nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Thanks @Hickenlooper for fighting for the solar industry! #gosolar

@Rossputin Thanks Ross. I don't think they should be subsidized, but a reasonable phase out would mean existing investments aren't at risk and industry can plan.

I don't understand why anyone thinks it's good policy for the federal gov't to saddle our children with even more debt so that upper-middle class people can buy 2nd and 3rd cars or help Algore and other climate grifters get rich. If these technologies are so cost-effective, then they don't need to be subsidized by further impoverishing future generations.

So this is happening right now. To the detriment of the entire renewable energy sector, consumer energy bills, grid reliability, investment in clean tech, jobs... This is such bad policy. Just unbelievable. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…

This is what Congressional R's are doing right now on clean tech. (Highlighted are specific to clean energy). This will lead to job loss, higher energy prices for families & businesses, & ceding this industry to China. It's just all around bad policy & bad politics. #cleanenergy

What’s happening on the #boulder flattie rn? I thought I saw a fire and a lot of police? #colorado #cuboulder

What a fantastic Meeting of the Minds Luncheon with EPA's @kcbecker ! Her insights on environmental policy from all levels of government were truly invaluable. Thanks to @SwireCC for sponsoring

Last week Regional Administrator KC Becker was in Missoula, Montana to talk about funding and resources @EPA is providing to help communities address health and #AirQuality impacts from #wildfire smoke. 📹 Watch the story from @kpaxnews: kpax.com/news/missoula-…

“There were a lot of people that said you couldn't run electrics up in #Montana, so that was somewhat of a challenge. And it looks like we've been proving the simple fact is ‘yes, we can,’” Allen Woodwick, Havre School District. #CleanSchoolBus #LoveTheBus mtpr.org/montana-news/2…

🚌🍃We are proud to announce that EPA's #CleanSchoolBus Program is awarding $1 billion to 280 school districts for electric and clean school buses! This funding will help schools purchase over 2,700 buses, delivering cleaner air for communities. epa.gov/newsreleases/b…
