The U.S.
is catching on fast: In 2024, heat pumps outsold gas furnaces for the third consecutive year, with a 27% lead! State initiatives are fueling this growth, despite federal funding hurdles.
Exciting times ahead! #USPolitics #CleanEnergy
"We've grown up with this idea that more #FossilFuels means more prosperity which couldn't be further from the truth today. Fossil fuels are [becoming] the greatest cause of premature death on the planet. Heat waves, air pollution, toxicity in our daily lives, extreme weather & climate change."
Reminder:
Florida is one of the most populous red states, so has a lot of electoral power.
#cleanenergy politics are more complicated than blue/red
Red states moving on #cleanenergy
#Florida added more #solar in 2024 than any other state - except Texas.
FL also added more rooftop residential solar than any other state but CA.
True for last 5 years.
Industry expects FL will stay #2 in solar for both in 2025 installations.
FL law forbids "climate change" in state policies - but #extremeweather is pounding state, so people want resilient power anyway.

These trains could carry giant batteries across Colorado and deliver clean energy to Denver
SunTrain wants to use the existing freight rail system to transport clean energy from wind farms and solar arrays to the grid.
Could the humble toaster save our planet? ️
A century after its invention, toaster #technology has been supersized into heat batteries that "toast" bricks instead of #bread. These industrial giants could slash the 20% of global carbon #pollution from manufacturing by offering cleaner, cheaper heat – and the technology is ready right now.

"She started talking about how her family has a farm & how much more difficult it was getting from drought & how the seasons were changing. I didn't say a thing, just listened. Halfway through she came to it on her own: 'Wait a minute, are you saying that all that's because of #ClimateChange
Saving $$ with #cleanenergy
NY needs to replace a lot of #fossilgas lines b/c of age and wear.
Very expensive to do, raises gas bills.
May be cheaper to electrify neighborhoods, even including:
- all new heating and cooling
- weatherization of bldgs
Plus: no gas leaks & better air quality & health
Pressure to pass state law to facilitate this #electrification

"There were personal costs. I received a lot of death threats. I was attacked physically. There were campaigns against me. It was hard & I would do it again. And yet, even though we were able to achieve widespread consensus on policy recommendations they were all swept away when Kenney came back."

US exits $9.3 billion climate deal with developing nations
"The United States has exited #JETP, a massive climate deal designed to help South Africa, Indonesia and other developing nations transition to #CleanEnergy."

Seems China gets all the soft power in clean energy development.
Cool article about a wind-powered, transatlantic cargo ship now taking passengers. I love the idea of a return to wind-powered sailing as an option for the global commute. A comfortable, lo-fi way to travel, with a carbon footprint 100x smaller than catching a plane. And apparently, you can bring unlimited luggage.

2024 was a groundbreaking year for clean energy! With 599 GW of solar panels installed, generating an estimated 787 TWh of electricity, it's like having a third of the world's nuclear reactors.
This could lead to a net-zero future if we maintain this pace for 16 years! #CleanEnergy #SolarPower

"In #Alberta right now it's estimated there are $216 BILLION in unfunded liabilities as a result of #OilAndGas industry development so afr. Add all that up & it costs a hell of a lot more to continue our dependency on #FossilFuels than shifting to cleaner and safer energy systems."
