Surprise! The strongest case for clean energy is lower bills. Our latest poll finds that what draws voters to clean energy more than anything else is the promise of lower monthly bills — that said, many don’t believe it. Here’s more from @jeva.bsky.social: heatmap.news/energy/renew...

News coverage that makes clear how well a given policy measures up to what’s needed, as Harvey did with her distinction between “carbon neutrality” and a fossil fuel phase-out, can keep the public informed and hold policymakers to account.
101
Covering Climate Now @coveringclimatenow.org · 01/10/2026
Journalists have a critical role to play as governments work to phase out fossil fuels. That goal can only be achieved quickly — and speed is of the essence, scientists emphasize — if countries implement genuine climate solutions and shun false ones.
111
Covering Climate Now @coveringclimatenow.org · 01/10/2026
Carbon neutrality allows continued fossil fuel use if the emissions are offset — for example, by additional clean energy or tree planting. But only a complete phaseout of fossil fuels can halt global temperature rise.
