The sun is having its moment and that’s why we’re celebrating Sun Day on September 21. ☀️ If you need more reasons to celebrate the clean energy revolution, read this from @billmckibben.bsky.social👇
newyorker.com The New Yorker @newyorker.com · Jul 9
Globally, roughly a third more power is being generated from the sun this spring than last. If this exponential rate of growth can continue, we will soon live in a very different world, @billmckibben.bsky.social writes.
4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment
In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

Reading Bill McKibben's musings on the President's signature legislation, I was dismayed to learn that not only are credits for clean energy and jobs being removed... the bill includes new taxes on solar and wind, expected to cost households $110 more per year. Oh - it adds subsidies for coal, too.

Lowering families’ energy costs and making our air cleaner should be something we all agree on. This reckless bill to gut clean energy and pollution reduction programs – all to fund tax breaks for billionaires. We will keep fighting back.

The House just passed a reckless budget bill gutting clean energy tax credits & handing billions to polluters. ☎️ Call your Senators NOW: Tell them to protect the clean energy provisions in the IRA—they’re saving money, creating jobs, and powering the future.

Call your Senators! Urge them to oppose the GOP budget bill!

This message from @thirdactorg.bsky.social has a link to a @solarunitedneighbors.org form to help you call your Senators' offices.

Tell them: Preserve the IRA consumer tax credits & other clean energy provisions in budget reconciliation.
