Infographic overlaid on a dense green forest background. It states: “Studies suggest there are 148 million acres of land suitable for reforestation across U.S., with the potential to capture an additional 535 million tons of carbon annually.” At the bottom, the source is listed as The Nature Conservancy. Tree and cloud icons accompany the text.

If the Trump administration wants to transform government into a leaner, more business-friendly operation, the DOE loan program is a great example of what to do MORE of, not less. Unlocking the power of American innovation and entrepreneurship takes public investment! www.eenews.net/articles/rep...

Republicans mull fate of DOE loan program
Some GOP lawmakers want to make sure Department of Energy financing supports all energy sources. Others want to kill the loan office altogether.

What’s inspiring about California’s #joshuatree plan is that it combines better protections for today and a long term #climateadaptstion strategy that includes future range shifts. This is the way.

Lots of confusing/ false narratives about the role Nature can/needs to play in addressing #ClimateChange getting published in major outlets these days. But to be 100% clear: we can’t meet global targets w/o addressing emissions from land and increasing carbon removal by natural systems 🌎
