Leaks matter...a lot. For hydrogen to live up to its promise as a climate-friendly fuel we *must* be able to accurately measure and mitigate leaks. Otherwise, we stand to significantly undermine the climate benefits that hydrogen is meant to offer.

This is a BIG deal for many reasons: A stronger, more modern electric grid is not only key to more resilient power during storms and extreme heat, it can also deliver real savings for ratepayers and cleaner air for communities.

This is a pivotal moment. An EDF analysis suggests more than 2/3 of new hydrogen capacity by 2035 will rely on natural gas. If the final 45V rules fail to account for methane emissions related to hydrogen production, it could be a climate disaster.

What does the transition to clean energy mean to me? Less pollution, more reliable energy and more economic opportunities. Getting there won’t always be easy. But a future where our kids are healthier is one that’s worth working toward.

A mom's persistence just made so many workers safer. Methylene chloride has killed dozens of people in the bathtub and furniture refinishing industries. I hope it comforts their loved ones to know other families won’t have to go through what they did.

Speed matters. Renewables are among the cheapest energy sources out there, but we need to get them linked to the grid *much* faster. This is a big step toward speeding up connection and slowing down climate pollution.

The EPA deserves to be applauded for taking these steps to protect children and communities. Fossil fuel power plants emit about ¼ of U.S. climate pollution and other dangerous air pollution. Stricter standards mean healthier air and a safer climate.

This is a great investment in America’s future! We’re going to need lots of people to fill the growing number of climate and clean energy jobs. And the American Climate Corps will help make sure the supply of trained workers keeps up with demand.

Climate solutions come in many forms. For this community in the Philippines, seaweed and mussels are a recipe for resilience. It’s a wonderful example of how to work with nature to build sustainable food, economic and ecological systems.

We could all use a reminder to stop and savor the wins sometimes. Of course, we still have work to do. But if we can move the needle this much in 10 years, we can build on this momentum over the next 10!

We can talk about cleaner air and climate benefits. We can talk about the economic boost and money saved with ownership. But let’s not overlook the fact that EVs are just great cars and fun to drive. That’s what these 3 EV owners love most.

Excited for a special screening of A Brief History of the Future tonight and even more excited to watch at home with my family. For me parenting during the climate crisis means showing my kids how bright our future can be and celebrating the people working to make it better.

Okay now it really will be the Happiest Place on Earth. Kudos to Disney for making sure Tomorrowland lives up to its name. Clean cars, less pollution...that’s the future our kids deserve. And Autopia will be much more enjoyable without the gas fumes.
