Our artichoke haul has been amazing this year.. I make sure and not let any flower since it stops the plants from fruiting. I've never seen bees roll around and have so much fun with a flower so for that reason I let one from each plant bloom each year. My gift to the bees! 🐝 #nature

Good point @stephenlowewatson.bsky.social. Our efforts to address the climate should not operate on a business or political cycle. We must be unstoppable.

The clean energy boom is over. What happens now? Federal funding is slowing, energy costs are rising, and the cracks in our grid are showing. This moment will define whether the transition was built to last—or just another political cycle. Here’s what needs to happen next. #renewableenergy #future

Efficiency gains in AI operations & grid-edge tech are critical. For now, fossil plants stay online, and as one example, xAI is running on mobile natural gas to avoid utility delays. How do we accelerate true decarbonization in the age of #AI? #renewableenergy #sustainability

This is some bombshell, scandelous, spy-novel-esque news in the climate space: It’s alledged that a lobbying firm representing ExxonMobil engaged in hacking and targeting 128 climate activists and/or environmental organizations involved in climate ligation to discredit those individuals/groups.

Wow. California is considering to pass legislation that would allow people & insurance companies to recoup costs by suing fossil fuel companies. This would extend to the last resort insurance provider (the state’s coverage) too. CA would be the 1st state in the U.S. to allow for such lawsuits.

At least eight Republicans urged their tax-writing colleagues on Wednesday to preserve tax credits created or expanded by Democrats’ climate law that the lawmakers said have brought jobs and investment to their districts.

The testimony by GOP lawmakers at the House Ways and Means Committee’s member day hearing illustrates the challenge facing Republicans as they craft a tax package to be passed via reconciliation, which is expected to repeal at least parts of the Inflation Reduction Act and help offset any revenue losses.
