Coal-fired electricity generation to be slashed by 2026, report finds houstonchronicle.com/busines… @houstonchron
Not slashed, but toxic & inefficient #coal power generation in Texas needs to be eliminated ASAP

CCL volunteers from across TX are traveling to Austin to encourage bipartisan support for policies that keep Texas a competitive energy producer, create jobs, save money for Texas consumers, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions! #CCLTXLobbyDay2023 docs.google.com/file/d/1ul8J…

Love this graphic that @KHayhoe featured in her thread on the new #IPCC report. We retweeted her thread in our feed. Check it out for a quick rundown on what you need to know about the report.

In the early 90s, 80% of Americans accepted climate change and thought more needed to be done
By 2010 only 48% 'believed' in it
The fossil fuel industry spent a lot of money to make that happen

Mr. Hegar, as a numbers guy and to be completely intellectually honest, please provide your analysis of how much more heat trapping gases our atmosphere can safely absorb from the combustion of fossil fuels. Asking for my grandkids.

Shipping accounts for a considerable chunk of carbon emissions, but the industry is trying to clean things up. A #PriceOnCarbon is at the top of their list of ways to decarbonize, according to a statement from @WSC_shipping.

Love this opinion! 👇
Wise words from @KHayhoe "If we wait for hope, we’ll never find it. If we wait for someone else to fix the problem, we’ll never solve it. But when we raise our voices to call for change, when we take action together[...]we find that hope is all around us." theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

CEOs in Michigan step up for a #PriceOnCarbon in reconciliation:
"[Carbon pricing] sends a clear message throughout the economy that fossil fuels will get more expensive, therefore driving more innovation and investment in clean energy technologies."

Have to agree with our friends at @NWF that a #PriceOnCarbon should be in #BuildBackBetter.
"Pairing the Build Back Better Act’s tax credits and other investments with a carbon fee would achieve the emissions reductions the President has committed to."

Another op-ed in W Virginia calls for putting a #PriceOnCarbon:
"Once a tax on fossil fuels — that is on carbon — is imposed, we will, in principle, have taken an important step forward in staving off disaster."

.@MarkReynoldsCCL issues a call to back up Biden at #COP26 with a #PriceOnCarbon.
"We need a budget reconciliation bill that will cut emissions 50 percent by 2030, and we need it to include a price on carbon pollution."

Nice writing on the realities and complexities and the do-ability of rapid decarbonization of the power grid. Hawai'i is showing us how.

Pollution isn’t free. Not to the American taxpayer, not to our climate.
If we want to move toward a zero-carbon future and combat the #ClimateCrisis, it can’t be free to the polluter, either.
