@marydwillis.bsky.social and I published a paper published today in Environmental Research Letters! iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1... We found that about 46.6 million people in the US, or about 14.1% of the US population, live within a mile of a piece of energy infrastructure. Why do we care? 🛟 |💡🔌

Inspired by my colleague Sam Hall at BUSPH Environmental Health, who delivered testimony on the health risks (especially to kidneys) from extreme heat exposure to the Massachusetts Committee on Labor and Workforce Development today. Thank you, Sam! @busph.bsky.social

Industry-Backed Legislation Would Bar the Use of Science Behind Hundreds of Environmental Protections
Two bills in Congress would prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency from using hundreds of chemical assessments completed by its IRIS program in environmental regulations or enforcement.

From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement.
Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”

New 2024 data: Over 50% of GOP fundraising now comes from just 100 mega-donors.
