The United States refuses to account for the #climate cost of war🔥🔥🔥.

Oh no! Sad how they just destroyed the whole purpose of the EPA. I agree on all counts.

Texas Seizes the Solar Crown From California, and Other Key Points From the Latest Electricity Data - Inside Climate News Utility-scale solar soared in 2025 across the country; coal also grew, while natural gas was down.

Big Oil Is Urging Trump to Stop Battle on Offshore Wind The president’s assault on wind farms is stalling a legislative push to speed permitting for energy projects.

“Oil lobbyists have made the case to Trump officials in recent weeks that his attacks on wind farms off the U.S. coast risk derailing congressional efforts to speed up permits for energy projects, according to people familiar with the matter.” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Battery passport plan aims to clean up the industry powering clean energy Some of the world's largest battery makers are piloting a scheme led by the Global Battery Alliance to reward manufacturers cleaning up their supply chains

🔋💕Love this. But if you support leading performers with better access to capital, doesn't that shortchange the people who have historically been shortchanged?

Because this has happened in the past.

What hypocrisy! The feds produce more coal and then let us deal with it. People don't pollute, corporations do!

What liars. Information is crucial to a democracy.

States push climate superfund bills despite Trump’s opposition The legislation would make oil and gas firms pay for climate damages from burning their products. Trump has referred to such laws as “extortion.”

They should have put a #priceoncarbon a long time ago.

It's the fairest thing. And the fastest way to #NetZero.

Colorado AG sues to claw back $600 million in energy research grants canceled by Trump Colorado will try to claw back $600 million in Trump-canceled clean energy grants in a new lawsuit, joining other states claiming cancellation of the funds was unlawful.

We know that this is going to court. The EPA is irresponsible to be repealing this finding, and we need to step up -- first, by finding other ways to limit #carbon pollution, and second, by calling on the EPA to do its job.

California Pays Farms to Make Biogas from Hog Waste in North Carolina, Where Locals Say It’s Fueling Pollution - Inside Climate News Last year, six hog farms in the state were the first to get funding from California’s program to offset its emissions from transportation fuels. The operations’ permits already have civil rights compl...

“I guess they think they’re doing the right thing by buying swine biogas credits ... But all they’re doing is shifting the burden to the poorest, most desperate North Carolinians.”

#California funds biogas to offset our own emissions, but is it helping?

We will have to talk about this one. He is arguing with reality -- the more GHGs we emit, the more #globalheating will cause extreme storms, crises for islanders and people of the global south, and deadly heatwaves right here. #climatecrisis🌍

Mapping Unequal Climate Risks in a Northern California County - Inside Climate News Low-cost air pollution sensors reveal stark disparities in exposure to extreme heat and air pollution in Contra Costa County, a major traffic corridor and oil refinery hub near San Francisco.

🌉🌳This is happening right here in #CA08! Good that we had that study, bad that they cancelled it. Love💕 how they use #airquality tracking systems for this. Hope the #climatejustice issues get resolved🏭.
