One of the very best ways to fight against the GOP and their oligarchs is to decarbonize your life entirely.

Republicans want to tell people that they have no right to put solar or wind turbines on the land that they own.

When people say that climate change is not political, that means they are not paying attention or are complicit with the GOP.

I have yet to see one story nor even a social media post about the thousands of American youth that have had their dreams of getting jobs in the clean energy transition by getting training from Biden's Climate Corps suddenly losing that opportunity.

The 3rd of 6 of Southern Oregon PBS's Energy Transitions documentary is now out. This one is on offshore energy in which many climate science deniers falsely proclaim that they are not climate science deniers as they are wont to do.

The Republican congressman attempting to stop offshore wind by stating that he knows more about EM fields than do us scientists is probably the worst of course as I happen to know that he believes that Earth is only 6,000 years old too.

If Republicans choose to condition disaster aid on Democratic states then we'll have to start conditioning aid on whether the states are taking enough climate action once we're back in power I suppose.

I hate to have it come to this, but damn it we need climate action and if the fossil fools are going to play that way then we'll have to start doing it too!

Charts like this scare the fossil fuel industry almost as much as does the U.S. having Democrats in charge.

You may think that Americans are not taking climate action, but many of us are as shown by the fact that more of them are buying heat pumps than fossil fueled equipment.

In light of the fire at the BESS facility in California this week, this is good news to share.

Form Energy's new flow battery technology has been tested and certified to as safe as possible especially in comparison with lithium based batteries.

The largest solar + storage project in the world, for now, will deliver power 24/7. Located in Abu Dhabi, the project will feature a 5.2 GW solar PV plant coupled with a 19 GWh BESS.

Does the 4X capacity for batteries versus PV work for most markets I wonder?

The US provided around $11 billion in international climate finance in 2024. Sadly though the American electorate chose to put a climate science denier back into the White House so now progress at the international level will slow.

Thank you Mr. Bloomberg!

ExxonMobil wanted to discredit groups and individuals involved in climate litigation.

I'm glad that our U.S. National Public Radio chose to air a story on this hacking of climate activists in order to block climate action, but they went easy on Exxon imo.

The evidence is crystal clear that the fossil fuel industry will go to any extremes to protect their obscene profits polluting our planet.

We've had this problem for decades sadly.

"I have been calling around for quotes and estimates on converting our gas furnace to a heat pump system, and I'd say more than half of the HVAC folks I talk to discourage heat pumps," the OP wrote to the community.

Trump pardoned “the kingpin of a worldwide digital drug-trafficking enterprise” who oversaw digital marketplace for money laundering and murder for hire.

It's already not being covered because of the onslaught of crazy crap from Republicans though sadly.
