We had a good day of advocacy at the Texas state capital along side our partners at @citizensclimate. Texas is a leader in renewable power generation. Further investment in transmission lines will reduce congestion, save Texans money and help reduce emissions.

Weeks ago, the US was on the cusp of passing the largest environmental bill since the Endangered Species Act of 1973. Then the bill — known as Recovering America's Wildlife Act — died in Congress.
I wrote about whether a new Congress can pass it.

“Existing utility-scale wind, solar, and energy storage projects in Texas are estimated to pay Texas landowners $7.1–$11.3 billion over the lifetime of the projects.” Texas is blessed with an abundance of natural resources. No logical reason to pit one against another. #txlege
Hot off the presses: A study by @joshdr83 and released by @cnsrvtxns4nrg, @APowerAlliance, and @txbiz shows clean energy projects are producing tens of billions of dollars for Texas taxpayers and landowners. tinyurl.com/z8t955j6 #txlege #txenergy #SustainableSolutions

If only there were away to move the cheap, clean renewable power from West Texas to reduce cost and air pollution for consumers in East Texas. Anyone have any ideas? – at Pasco, WA

The population of mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles has seen an average drop of 68% globally since 1970.
So, the global stripes start green in 1970 and turn grey as we enter the 2000s.

OMG! We would love to see some American politicians do a commercial like this. #ClimateChange
Without the strongest possible action on climate change, we’ll be in deep water (31 secs) . #TNL

Earlier this week, our Chicago volunteers met with the Sun-Times editorial board. Today, the paper came out with a strong editorial urging Congress to pass badly-needed legislation to address #ClimateChange.

We've been saying for a while that real energy independence and protecting national security will come only with a swift transition away from fossil fuels. Good to see this catching on in the Senate.

Our temporary Russian oil ban is great. But switching to clean energy is a permanent decision that cleans our air and protects our citizens from wild price swings. Ask Congress to seize this opportunity to make the switch: cclusa.org/senate

Economic warfare can be more effective than tanks and missiles. Contact Congress and ask them to go fossil free to avoid spiking gas prices and so that we never have to buy Russian oil again 👉 cclusa.org/senate

Ever notice that our oil dependence enriches Putin & hurts our citizens w/its wild price swings? But clean energy hurts Putin & enriches our citizens. Ask Congress to go fossil free so we can stop helping the wrong people & start helping the right ones cclusa.org/whitehouse

The #IPCC's latest report has strong recommendations on how to reduce the risk of #ClimateChange, and carbon fee and dividend figures prominently among those remedies, as CCL's @dana1981 notes in his latest piece.

Switching to clean energy means we won’t have to import our energy from Putin’s regime ever again. Ask the President to make the switch using our email template here: cclusa.org/whitehouse

Nice quick 🧵 from our friend @SenWhitehouse on the latest #IPCC report that mention's the report's reference to a #PriceOnCarbon.
The new @IPCC_CH report lights a pathway toward climate safety. It also confirms what I’ve been saying in Time to Wake Up speeches for years: that the challenge of tackling climate change is more political than technological or economic.

The movement to #ElectrifyEverything is picking up steam! Join our national call April 9 when we'll talk with Keishaa Austin from @rewiringamerica about how we can kick the fossil fuel habit.

Moving to clean energy will stabilize gas prices, create new jobs & cut off Putin’s oil money. Email Pres. Biden & tell him you stand w/ Ukraine & want the US to switch off fossil fuels--the lifeblood of the Russian economy. bit.ly/3LmDUmu
