👏🏼👏🏼 South Korea just passed a national law requiring all large parking lots (those with more than 80 spaces) to install solar canopies!

That means every supermarket, office, and mall lot could soon double as a clean energy hub, feeding power into the grid and making smarter use of space! 🌞

Heartbreaking. I’ve asked subscribers to send me screenshots of their premium increases, and I can’t even tell you how many emails I’m getting like this.

Folks can’t pay these rates. This family is in TX, but it’s happening everywhere. Congress MUST extend the ACA tax credits.

Strict school vaccine mandates work, and parents don’t game the system − new research theconversation.com/strict-schoo...

"...policy-level solutions work. But they require comprehensive implementation and adequate enforcement mechanisms."
Strict school vaccine mandates work, and parents don’t game the system − new research
When states prohibit parents from opting their kids out of vaccines for religious, philosophical or other nonmedical reasons, communities stay better protected against infectious diseases.

Because of the court order our team secured on Friday, the Trump-Vance administration is being forced to pay SNAP benefits from contingency funds.

Yet, even after losing in court, they are back today trying to deprive people of their full benefits under SNAP.
Trump administration tells judge it will partially fund SNAP benefits using contingency funds
A federal judge ruled Friday that the Agriculture Department must disburse funding for SNAP, also known as food stamps.

Congress established an emergency fund to ensure that millions of Americans on SNAP continue to receive nutrition assistance when funding expires in November.

Mr. President: Don’t let kids go hungry. Use these emergency funds to feed low-income families.

Good News! Thanks to a $94 million federal grant under the Clean Ports Program, the Port of Cleveland’s electrification journey has officially begun!

The port's main warehouse is getting rooftop solar, battery storage, and charging infrastructure including funding for electric crane and forklifts!

Passed in 1972, the Marine Mammal Protection Act has been a lifeline for whales, dolphins, manatees, sea otters, and so many others.

It’s one of the reasons no marine mammal species has gone extinct in U.S. waters in over 50 years.

But right now, this landmark law is under threat ⤵️

“The findings suggest it is possible for the world to wean off polluting sources of power — even as demand for electricity skyrockets — with continued investment in renewables including solar, wind, hydropower, bioenergy and geothermal energies.” 👏🏼👏🏼

The DOE is now forbidding the Office of *Energy Efficiency* and *Renewable Energy* from using words like ‘climate change,’ ‘green,’ ‘emissions,’ and ‘energy transition’ in their work.

Coz sweeping the problem under the rug has always worked out so well 👍

👏🏼👏🏼 A federal judge just overturned the DOE’s stop-work order on the Revolution Wind project—an offshore wind farm that’s already 80% complete & will power 350,000 homes.

This ruling protects billions in investments & over 1,000 jobs—keeping clean energy moving forward!

‼️ Positive tipping point alert ‼️

Per UN, solar, wind & renewables are now powering most new energy worldwide!

- 74% of electricity growth came from clean energy last year

- 92.5% of new power was renewable — and it’s cheaper than fossil fuels

Our climate satellites are our eyes in the sky—tracking pollution, plant growth, and the health of our planet. They’re fully paid for, working perfectly, and giving us life-saving data.

Yet the Trump administration wants to destroy them—burning them up in the atmosphere years before their time.
