It's simple: The biggest fossil fuel companies knew they were creating climate chaos, but they hid the truth for decades. It's time to make polluters pay for the resulting damage to our homes, businesses & infrastructure.

NY electric bills are soaring. Can more solar power save residents money?
State Sen. Pete Harckham is distancing himself from Gov. Kathy Hochul's all-of-the-above energy strategy and going all-in on solar power.

Why the Time Has Finally Come for Geothermal Energy
It used to be that drawing heat from deep in the Earth was practical only in geyser-filled places such as Iceland. But new approaches may have us on the cusp of an energy revolution.

157 new solar projects. 36 new wind projects. Enough clean energy to power 16 million homes. That’s all happening in the UK, where 6% of electricity in 2025 was powered by the sun ☀️ Read the news: www.theguardian.com/business/202...

It’s an election year and so of course, Susan is trying to make herself more appealing to her disappointed voters. Collins will be in Bangor speaking at the SCORE Maine event on Feb. 16, from 8:30 to 11am. She rarely shows up for us, so this is a great opportunity to catch her in person. #MEPolitics

Senator Susan Collins is running for a 6th term in office. And while she’s suggested having played a key role in scaling back ICE’s presence in Maine, she’s also the #3 Republican recipient of donations from Palantir executives.

Multiple friends have caught COVID recently, including some of my more cautious pals. There are a lot of winter germs in crowded places right now, fam. Personally, I never feel that shopping or riding transit unmasked is worth potentially getting sick. You can always renew this practice.
