Yesterday, I spoke with CCN about why the renewable energy industry matters now more than ever for both our economy and our planet. With climate change accelerating and electricity demand on the rise, solar, wind, and batteries are the future.

This is downtown Santa Barbara right now. The No Kings protest stretches for over a mile along the water. The cars who drive by are all honking in support. Probably the biggest protest this community has ever seen.

Who is responsible for these climate disasters, like the devastating fires in LA? It's fossil fuel companies who lied about climate change for decades. They should be paying for the damages, as New York and Vermont will soon require. I talked about this on @democracynow.org this morning.

These devastating fires in LA are climate change in action. More than 80% of the county is under drought, and when hurricane force winds hit dry land, they ignite. As @katharinehayhoe.com says, we are experiencing global weirding.

The fires in Los Angeles County are climate change in action. Today, I spoke with BBC News about how drought is causing devastating impacts in what should be the rainy season. Thanks to climate change, the fire season in California is now year round.
