No matter how many times we swipe left on Coal, he keeps coming back 😒
A fake profile for a middle-aged man smoking a cigarette reads: Coal, 57. Location: Smoking on the corner of your block. Looking for someone to lean on. Orders everything on the menu, then makes you pay. Constantly having breakdowns. Lots of powerful friends and won't let you forget it. If you're into "healthy living," swipe left. A fake profile for a middle-aged man with slicked down hair reads: Oil, 40. Location: Gulf of America. Alpha male. Emotionally unavailable. Swears you can't live without me when I really can't live without you. Constantly spilling things. Too much hair gel. A fake profile for a young woman smiling on a beach with wind in her hair reads: Wind, 32. Location: Swimming in the ocean or frolicking in a field. Just a really chill girl! Easy, breezy, beautiful is my lifestyle. Loves to go with the flow. Don't underestimate me though. I'm stronger than I look! A fake profile for a young man lying in the sunlight reads: Solar, 27. Location: Basking in the sun. "Every day is a new chance to improve." Forward-thinking, growth-oriented innovator. Often told I light up the room :) All about the simple life. Would rather make you a picnic dinner than waste money on a mediocre restaurant.

The Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative is the strongest tool PA has for cutting pollution. Giving it away in budget negotiations would take away a real, proven solution that can meaningfully reduce pollution and electric bills for residents of the Commonwealth, now.

Voting with their wallets, New Jersey and Virginia residents elected clean energy champions to lead their states.
A green graphic shows Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill of New Jersey. A quote from EDF Action President David Kieve reads: “New Jerseyans have elected a governor who knows that renewable energy is cheaper, cleaner, and faster to deploy. She did not bow to those whose interests ran counter to the people she will now serve.” A blue graphic shows Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger of Virgina. A quote from EDF Action President David Kieve reads: “Voters flatly rejected a costly fossil-fueled future in favor of growing solar industries and the offshore wind generation for which Virginia is primed. Spanberger chose to listen – and she will choose to lead.”

The future is looking brighter 😎 (powered by clean, affordable energy, of course)
Graphic with blue background with the EDF Action logo. It shows the popular meme of dolphins playing and jumping through clear water on a sunny day as a rainbow arcs overhead. Text reads "How life feels when clean energy champions win their elections." A photo shows a cute sheep skipping on its hind legs down the middle of a road. Text reads "On our way to elect more affordability champions in 2026." A photo shows a squirrel standing on its hind legs with arms outstretched to the sky, looking upward. Text reads "When you finally have a reason to hopescroll." A photo shows a smiling otter making muscle arms while sitting in the water. Text reads "Voters refusing to accept a fossil-fueled future"

The time is now! Thirty-nine states have elections today, including major races in New Jersey and Virginia. In other states, ballot measures like Texas's Prop 4 will influence water access for years to come.

Get out and vote today! (Bonus points if you bring a friend 🕺)
A photo shows a teen girl wearing a light blue "Climate Voters Unite" shirt holding an "I Voted Today" sticker on her finger, pointing it toward the camera. An outlined text overlay reads "Go vote!"

Give the environmentalists in your life a fright with these spooky Halloween costumes! The last one definitely haunts our nightmares...👻
On a royal blue background with faint yet creepy branches, white and neon green text reads "Spooky Halloween Costumes. All tricks, no treats" followed by the scream emoji. The EDF Action logo is in the bottom right corner. Text reads "Energy Secretary Chris Wright. Pass out coal to trick-or-treaters, then ask them to pay for it." In the "starter pack" style: the official government portrait of Chris Wright is surrounded by a suit jacket and tie, a Dept. of Energy logo, and lumps of coal. Text reads "Zombie Fossil Fuel Plant. They just keep coming back from the dead." In the "starter pack" style: a photo of a coal plant emitting pollution, a $100 bill on fire, a face mask, hands covered in soot, and a screenshot of a The Guardian headline about the Trump administration spending $625 million to prop up dying coal plants. Text reads "Budget Director Russell Vought. Leave us haunted by the ghosts of clean energy projects past." In the "starter pack" style: the official government portrait of Russell Vought, glasses, a red tie, a pink employment termination slip, a grim reaper costume, and a screenshot of a PBS article in which the president describes Vought as the grim reaper.

The White House is offering “concierge, white glove service” to oil, coal and other fossil fuel companies that are seeking to gain fast approval for their projects, according to an energy official, while slowing down or blocking solar and wind projects.

"Big Oil gets massive handouts while your utility bills skyrocket." Rep. Mcdonald Rivet is is spot on!

We need to hold the fossil fuel industry accountable, and switch to clean cheap energy. @michiganlcv.bsky.social @cleanairmoms-mi.bsky.social

President Trump’s proposed budget would DECIMATE clean air, clean water, and… get this… *enforcement* programs. Trump’s plan: You get sicker while polluters get richer.

“Climate change is a threat multiplier. That’s not just my opinion — it’s the stated position of the Department of Defense, going back decades.” - MG (Ret.) Paul Eaton, Vet Voice Foundation

Rolling back protections isn’t just anti-science. It’s anti-security.

As we saw earlier this year in Eaton and Palisades fires, CA residents continuously face dangerous wildfires made worse by climate change. Thank you to those who shared their stories at our Extreme Weather People's Hearing in LA and spoke out against Trump’s #ClimateChaosPlan.

First they gut the endangerment finding, now they’re slow-walking methane regulations that prevent natural disasters.

Our climate crisis is happening now. Nature doesn’t do extensions.

Clean energy keeps costs low. EDF VP Joanna Slaney weighs in on Sen. Schumer's new bill to reverse tax hikes on wind and solar power.
“Clean energy offers some of the most affordable and fastest ways to bring reliable power to communities. But President Trump’s tax law drives up costs by limiting clean energy supply, right when the country needs it the most. Restoring long-term wind and solar tax credits will lower household electric bills, create good-paying jobs, help meet power demand and strengthen our grid to withstand extreme weather. Communities need more clean energy – not less – to secure healthier, safer and more affordable futures.” Joanna Slaney, VP, Political and Government Affairs

"The most important thing we can do is make clear just how important these things are to [us]...I know it works because I've seen it."

Thank you @slotkin.senate.gov for calling out cuts to environmental protections in Trump's Big Ugly Bill and encouraging us to advocate for what matter most.
