Pennsylvania youth just filed a major climate appeal to stop the Homer City project—a plan to turn a former coal plant into the nation’s largest gas-fired power plant, emitting 17.5 million tons of pollution every year. Learn more: ourchildrenstrust.org/pennsylvania #YouthvGov

A deep low bow…

Bernie’s objection to AI data centers focuses on loss of jobs and rising utility bills for working families.

My focus is consumptive water loss, smog, noise pollution, increased demand for fracking, and accelerating climate chaos.

Let’s dance.

Very disappointed that Comptroller Lander and the NYCERS trustees did not vote to protect the hard-earned money of city workers by taking business away from asset managers that ignore the financial risks of climate change.

A large conference room with suits around a set of arranged tables, which is way larger than the number of people A close up of today’s financial times, which one of the trustees or staff brought with them. That’s the crowd here

Yes. Lower Manhattan has dikes under construction, to allow the fossil fuel funding and wealth concentration from finance to continue uninterrupted.
floodlightnews.org Floodlight @floodlightnews.org · 4d
After Hurricane Sandy, NYC began installing major flood protections around Lower Manhattan. But in one Queens neighborhood devastated by the superstorm, residents say little has changed.

“Why is Edgemere different? Because we don't have Wall Street here?”
‘We are forgotten here’: As NYC builds seawalls, this Queens community feels left behind.
A decade after city officials promised to cut flood risks in the Edgemere neighborhood, critics say it remains just as vulnerable.

⚠️ On Friday night, Gov. Hochul issued her biggest yet round of vetoes for the year — almost 50 bills, including four utility-related ones.

The biggest would have created an Office of the Utility Consumer Advocate. She vetoed it in 2021 and has also 3x vetoed a different bill with similar aims

It's not every day, you get really close to seeing $42 billion move from the world's largest asset manager because of their lack of credible climate action.

Blackrock, which manages more than $12 trillion, has repeatedly failed to take climate change seriously.
