While electricity prices continue to climb, many utility companies are keeping old and expensive coal plants online and building more pricey gas plants, rather than investing in renewable, affordable, clean energy.
IN THIS ECONOMY?!?
In this year’s Dirty Truth Report, utility companies studied earned an F for failing to put customers first. Rather than investing in affordable clean energy, most companies are building expensive, polluting gas plants and keeping old, deadly coal plants online. sierraclub.org/dirtytruth
Restored Greek Byzantine palace offers blueprint for preserving cultural heritage pbs.org/newshour/show/restor… One of the priorities of the Greek authorities here has been to try to future-proof this side against the dangers of climate change, in particular wildfires.
Our parks and public lands are a physical manifestation of American democracy, and open for everyone to enjoy. This land swap at Yosemite demonstrates, again, that the Trump Administration only sees them as playgrounds for the rich and places for corporations to drill and pollute

Iran is mocking us with legos and sick beats, Canada is mocking us with beavers and ballads. I don’t want to hear anything about Biden ever again.

What happens at Big Bend now sets a precedent for every national park in America.
We won’t allow this destruction on our public lands.

Our parks belong to all of us.
These places should be protected for every generation, not sold off to Trump’s ultra-wealthy friends to profit off of.
I will fight this, both for Yosemite and for every treasured park that would be up for grabs if this domino falls.
SCOOP: Trump officials are pressuring the National Park Service to find a way to give a small piece of Yosemite to a private developer.
The land would be used for a road, to give the developer rare private access to the heart of the park.

I’ve wanted to visit the Boundary Waters for most of my life. After four days of paddling a canoe I barely scratched the surface. We paddled, we camped, I even caught a Northern Pike.
I can’t imagine copper sulfide pollution in this watershed and ruining one of the great public land wildernesses in North America. We're gonna fight this.

In just two weeks of work, contractors have inflicted irreparable damage on Big Bend National Park. A groundswell of nonpartisan, near-universal outcry has forced a temporary "pause" within park boundaries, but across the region, where CBP has issued $7 billion in border wall, road and barrier contracts, bulldozers are rolling and the destruction continues every day.
I joined Dave Davies on Texas Public Radio to discuss what we've seen on the ground and how we can seize this incredible momentum to halt border construction across the region. We won't stop fighting until these corrupt, senseless plans are scrapped for good.

In December 2025, @tpl_org, in partnership with the National Park Service, used #LWCF to acquire 20 acres which will become a permanent addition to Saguaro National Park. 1/2

The Farallon Islands are a wildlife refuge off the coast of San Francisco that is critical to a broad diversity of seabirds and marine life.
The scientific research and conservation efforts there are essential. Grateful to see the terrific work of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and Point Blue Conservation Science in action.

The world’s five largest international oil companies + five largest U.S. independent refiners made over $65 BILLION in Q2 2026.
That’s unconscionable. It’s time to tax that money back + phase out this deadly industry for good.

Quick update on our lawsuit against the Big Bend border wall: DHS is breaking the law with this horrific assault on the wildest place in Texas. But our attorneys are a force to be reckoned with. We’ll continue to fight until the bulldozers are called off for good.

By all appearances, these dozers & excavators are headed straight for Big Bend National Park. This massive staging area just popped up north of Terlingua. Orange trucks appear to be Kiewit/SWVC whose contract spans the national park.
Destruction is plowing full-steam ahead.
