Last month @operationfree hosted a panel with @ACGlobalEnergy with veterans who are leading in the clean energy space. Check out @vets_energy founder and Truman member @MischDR’s piece #ClimateTownHall energynews.us/2019/03/14/wes…
America’s dependence on oil threatens the health of our economy, puts our national security at risk and creates the potential for new military conflicts. It also contributes to #ClimateChange. #ClimateTownHall

.@LungAssociation's 2019 #StateOfTheAir Report finds that climate change is making it harder to clean up air pollution. Thank you to all representatives who are protecting our health, our planet, and our security by supporting #EVs4America. #CleanerCars Lung.org/SOTA
Yet another reminder that the U.S. military considers climate change a national security threat -->

Sometimes, the front lines are in your own backyard. Protect your community when the time comes. ⠀

Maryland's Clean Energy Jobs Act is a great first step to fight climate change. If @GovLarryHogan signs it, it will move the state to 50% renewable energy by 2030. marylandmatters.org/2019/03/…

.@SenWarren and @JayInslee are right to call for a climate-centered presidential debate. The next commander-in-chief needs to have new, innovative ideas to address climate change, and voters need to know how potential nominees will handle this national security threat.

Military leaders to Congress:
Preparing for #ClimateChange is key to readiness. bit.ly/2IVvcyK
Electric #utilities can lead the way with charging infrastructure and #EV rates for trucks & buses. Not only will this benefit local air quality, public health & the climate, but also utility bill-paying customers.
Read the new guide from @UCSUSA bit.ly/2UB7f6U
Truck and bus #electrification is critical as we work to reduce harmful air pollutants & carbon emissions. Utilities have a key role to play by investing in heavy duty #EV charging.

"America's Harmful Dependence on Oil" - @terronII link.medium.com/t7y3xfR5DS
ALT “…We have been in a perpetual state of war in the Middle East for 15 years with no end in sight. We can start to get out by eliminating our (and NATO’s) dependence on Middle East (and OPEC) oil and properly divesting in renewable energies. Fighting wars should always be a last resort, not a means to attain energy or revenues.” from “America’s Harmful Dependence on Oil” by Truman Project.
