We knew. We've always known.
This article was written 112 years ago. 112 years, and we still aren't doing what we need to do to address the climate crisis.
No time to wait. #ActOnClimate

Generating electricity from fossil fuels is very inefficient.
Moving from coal to solar reduces primary energy consumption by 2/3 at the point of electricity generation.

Good news: Oil and gas investment has been falling.
But over the last few years it has been stagnating.

Today, 4 hedge fund managers on Wall St. earn more in a year than every kindergarten teacher in America combined.
Teachers: join us for a town hall tomorrow w/ leaders from the AFT & NEA to discuss the enormously important issue of raising teacher pay & saving public education.

Electricity is the largest provider of useful energy since surpassing oil in 2007 📈
Useful energy is a measure of what we get out of the system to actually deliver services like powering homes and running factories–not just what we put in.

New battery record of 10.03 GW peak discharge rate on the California ISO grid on Tuesday, May 20, 2025!
10 GW=41% of the yearly average 24.3 GW of demand on the grid in 2024
Batteries are 4-h, so 10 GW = 40 GWh of storage = 6.9% of 582 GWh average daily demand on grid in '24

67 straight and 108 of 140 (77%) days in 2025 with >100% #WindWaterSolar on @California_ISO grid for part of the day, for an avg of 4.7 h/day (v 2.9 in '24 and 0.7 in '23).
55% of all demand in '25 met by WWS v 51.5% in '24 and 45.3% in '23.
Gas down 22.4% v '24 and 44% v '23

Our campaign finance system is totally corrupt — impacting BOTH political parties.
If we want a government representing working families, not billionaires, we need to overturn Citizens United and move to the public funding of elections.

Unbelievable heat anomaly unfolding across China — vast regions up to 16°C above normal for this time of year. The climate crisis isn’t future tense — it’s now. Urgent action is needed. 2050 targets are too late. #ClimateCrisis #Heatwave

If we reach 1.5°C, this is what is going to happen:
‼️Every fraction of a degree matters—beyond 1.5°C, the risks and damages from extreme weather, sea-level rise, and biodiversity loss increase dramatically.
No time to wait. #ActOnClimate
