Millions in Florida, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and all of Cuba lost power in the span of 2 weeks.
Big utilities and fossil fuels intentionally block efforts to build a grid that works for all.
Op-ed by @AugustaCFWilson sums it up perfectly:

#Oregon town hosts wind-solar-battery ‘hybrid’ plant
"The project, can generate enough #Electricity to power a small city, addresses a key challenge facing the utility industry as the #USA transitions away from #fossilfuels"

Solar panels have a dual purpose in this orchard. They produce clean electricity while shading apple trees from hail, frost and heavy rain.
We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

With talk of solar panels & farmland - a reminder the land req'd for #solar panels alone to provide *all global energy is 450,000 km2, 0.3% of the global land area of 149 million km2 – less than the current land footprint of #FossilFuel infrastructure 🤯carbontracker.org/reports/th…

It's not about "the environment." Stop using this phrase. It's about whether life on Earth collapses into a shadow of its former magnificence. It's about whether humankind thrives and evolves, or descends into a long and brutal dark age on a less habitable planet.

Every dime in subsidies slated for fossil fuels and nuclear needs to be halted immediately.
Every dime.
Focus on renewables.
We'd save a fortune.
What happens when every home in Puerto Rico goes solar with batteries? The price of power goes down! ilsr.org/queremos-sol-grid-r…

We use "100% clean, renewable energy" to define renewables that are also clean (thus no biomass, biofuels, biogas, CCS, DAC, blue H2, or nuclear)
Some of the same technologies that will help reduce the rate of climate change can also help protect against climate driven disasters. thehill.com/opinion/energy-e…
How community solar can be part of climate resilience! I can't say enough how much I love this concept... cnn.com/2022/10/02/us/solar-…

Tens of thousands of rooftop solar arrays have been installed in Puerto Rico since Hurricane Maria, & early reports show that some of those systems were able to continue producing solar energy after the grid went down.

Just this year, many were saying we need carbon capture for "hard-to-transition industries" like steel
Well, the HYBRIT steel plant reduces CO2 by ~98% w/green H2 & #WindWaterSolar electricity. Now, all Sweden's steel plants are being upgraded

BREAKING: CA’s #communitysolar & storage bill #AB2316 has been signed into law by @GavinNewsom! Cheers to more affordable and reliable clean energy for millions of Californians, a stronger power grid, and the next wave of #cleanenergy growth. ☀️communitysolaraccess.org/gov…
