The Trump administration's decision to weaken CAFE standards won't fix affordability or strengthen the U.S. auto industry — it will do the opposite, raising costs and deepening the affordability crisis gripping the country. Read more: www.ceres.org/resources/ne... #FuelEconomyStandards

1/2 A data center's largest water demand isn't for cooling in the facility — it's at the power plants supplying it with electricity. New Ceres analysis: 7 states with ~half of U.S. data centers use 3.4 trillion gallons of water/year for power generation alone.

Mindy Lubber @mindylubber.bsky.social · 25/08/2026
Water for power generation could account for 72% of total data center water use by 2030, even as facilities adopt more efficient cooling & reclaimed water. Our report digs into this risk and outlines how stakeholders can support responsible AI dev in the U.S. that doesn't drain local water supplies.

FL is doing something Washington could learn from: treating climate resilience as collective responsibility, not a partisan cause. Bipartisan programs there are cutting costs and keeping communities safe. My colleague Jaclyn de Medicci Bruneau breaks it down: www.sun-sentinel.com/2026/08/09/f...

Extreme weather has cost the U.S. $1.5T and thousands of lives in a decade. The SEC is rolling back climate disclosure anyway. The risk doesn't disappear when the rule does. Smart companies and investors aren't waiting on Washington. My take: forbes.com/sites/mindyl... #SEC #ClimateDisclosure

Economic shocks have historically caused us to rethink our energy systems. We're at another one of those moments, but leaders keep treating clean energy as a political choice, not an economic one.
