NEWS: Florida is building a highway that charges electric cars as they drive. The Florida expressway will include a 0.75-mile electrified section and is expected to be completed by 2029. According to ENRX, the project’s technology partner, the electrified roadway can deliver charging speeds of up to 200 kW. The primary target for this type of charging infrastructure is commercial fleets, including delivery vans and long-haul trucks.

Today I got the opportunity to speak to almost all Republican Senators about the IRA subsidies at their Wednesday lunch. The discussion was private, so I won't tell you what the Senators said. But you better believe I told them the subsidies are toxic and need to be terminated!

Two years ago, @POTUS signed the Inflation Reduction Act—the largest ever climate investment in world history. The law sparked a clean energy boom that is reviving U.S. manufacturing and creating hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs. energy.gov/invest

🌍 2 August is Earth Overshoot Day, the day we have used up what the Earth can provide for 2023. 💰 We still have a chance to change the broken economic system that puts profit and overconsumption before people and nature. Let’s end the overshoot.

Our first stop on today’s tour was a visit with @truthboxarch, an architectural firm that specializes in sustainable and energy efficient designs. They used old shipping containers to build an energy efficient commercial building with a rooftop solar array.
