When the administrator of the EPA treats public health protections as obstacles to corporate profit, the American people deserve accountability. They deserve an EPA that works for them, not against them. Lee Zeldin must go. #GameOverZeldin app.sosha.ai/s/quGgPjXq

$615,000 a day - that’s the cost on ratepayers of keeping this 64-year-old coal plant in west Michigan open.

Abandoning Michigan’s clean energy laws would raise the cost of electricity, pollute our air and water, and keep us reliant on expensive fossil fuels. Instead of propping up coal plants, let's build more clean energy that is affordable and reliable.

I'm a primary care doctor and a mom. I can think of few things that are as important to our lives as our health. Call Congress and tell them: Their budget bill is bad for our health. Call them every day that health matters. #MedSky #MOMSky
Doctors and Nurses: That is One Big Unhealthy Bill!  Takes away health coverage from almost 12 million people. Takes food away from children, seniors, veterans, and disabled people. Replaces a clean energy revolution with air pollution and dangerous weather. Stops medical research projects on cancer, dementia, and diabetes. Call Congress and tell them to vote NO!

A Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engine (RICE) generator is just a fancy name for a methane gas plant. Without burning expensive, often imported fuel, they simply don’t work. That’s not clean energy.

Thank you, @doggett.house.gov for speaking out about the urgency of the climate crisis. Republican rollbacks of clean energy tax credits and investments will mean more fossil fuels, which means more harmful pollution, and more extreme weather disasters. @waysmeanscmte.bsky.social pushed back.
