Read this amazing story about how this guy got his city to build solar instead of a new natural gas plant. Getting involved in local politics is way more effective and empowering than being mad at Joe Manchin.

Dispare and hopeless exist when folks aren't empowered. The constant singular focus on federal issues in the news cycle make "change" seem remote, unreachable. Folks, I have a great story to share. Five years ago, I helped save my city $120m. And like, 50 ppl know. Thread...



Just saw #Don'tWorryDarling. Cinematography, editing, music, set design, and Florence Pugh's acting we're all amazing. All of those things seem harder than writing a coherent script, but apparently not.

You: I want affordable housing (with some character), ability to walk to a cafe/restaurant/bar, decent parks/trails, quick drive to state/national parks, some significant architecture. Me: Try a Rust Belt City You: Ew.

Any 'climate-leading' company that hasn't yet disavowed their trade associations (hi @BizRoundtable @USChamber) and issued public support for the climate bill: your anti-climate messaging is heard loud and clear. thehill.com/homenews/senat…

This week, Chile announced a proposed new constitution written by a democratically elected convention, and it is likely the most legitimate constitution in the world, as it is written boldly in the context of the climate crisis. A 🧵on its inspiring climate provisions.

Tomorrow 9 people are going to guess what James Madison thought about climate change & the federal government’s authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. This will have a big impact on all of our lives. 🇺🇸💪👏

Ask not what your president can do to bring down the price of gas. Ask what your mayor can do to make it possible to get around without a car.

Lots of the public isn't aware of it yet, but we are living through a time when the plunging price of renewable electricity is opening up a FLOOD of innovation. There's never been a better time to be an inventor or engineer -- world-changing ideas are flying all over the place.

We've heard reports that residents are being told this morning (1/1) to go to the North Boulder Rec Center--please do not as it is CLOSED.

If your gas was shut off due to wildfires in the Superior and Louisville area, please do not call Xcel to request a relight appointment. Xcel crews are following an established process to safely restore natural gas outages. More info at: ow.ly/ASCO50Hlyi9 #MarshallFire
