1 vote got this to the Senate. One tiebreaker vote by a feckless VP is moving it for final passage. It’s time to turn the heat up to nuclear to rain down calls on your reps to reject this once & for all. And if that fails, turn up the feral possum tenacity to live to vote them out. #Reconciliation

The House W&M bill severely curtails tax credits for clean electricity and eliminates incentives for clean vehicles. These changes will lead to higher utility bills for households, job losses in areas facing underinvestment, & worse health outcomes in vulnerable communities.

A professor of environmental sciences gives a quick punchy take on the "eye-popping" numbers re. how clean air promotes economic growth. An EPA analysis of 20 years of the Clean Air Act (1970-90) found the economic benefits of the regulations were about 42X greater than the costs. No pay wall.

America’s clean air rules boost health and the economy − here’s what EPA’s new deregulation plans ignore

Clean air has become one of America’s best investments, returning $10 for every $1 spent on regulations, by one estimate.

Breakdown of what EPA brags is the “biggest deregulation action in US history” At its core, regulation protects the rest of us for our health and public good from the damage that can be caused by the economic benefits for a few.

Climate change is moving faster than scientists projected & they're not totally sure why. One possible explanation is declining cloud cover. If that's true, we may be entering a feedback cycle that accelerates warming much faster than we've modeled.

Scientists have a new explanation for the last two years of record heat

Rising temperatures are fueled, in part, by declining cloud cover — which could be a potential climate feedback loop.
