When it comes to climate, the Harris-Walz ticket is stacked. These two leaders are climate champions.

They've pushed for clean water, cut pollution, and taken bold action. Oh, and they both love heat pumps and electric school buses. THREAD!
theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
You've probably heard about Harris' tie-breaking vote for our nation's biggest climate law.

But maybe you haven't heard about Minnesota's climate law, Walz's version...
minnesotareformer.com/2023/05/25/wha…
In 2023, Walz signed the biggest climate law in Minnesota history:
- Solar for schools!
- Incentives for EVs!
- Money for heat pumps!
- Fines for leaving trash on the ice!

Vice President Kamala Harris has a long record on climate change and environmental justice you probably haven't heard enough about. I've been digging into her background and this woman is a climate champion. Can't wait for her to be PRESIDENT!

Here are the receipts... THREAD! Image
Way back in 2005, Attorney General Harris sent up a new division to prosecute environmental crimes in California. That's TWO DECADES AGO. At the time she said, "Crimes against the environment are crimes against communities." As true today as it was then.
sfgate.com/crime/article/…
Harris' vision for climate action and environmental justice is deeply embedded in our climate laws. A green bank? She cosponsored that as a Senator. Cleaning up pollution from ports? She did that as AG in 2011 in LA and Long Beach. Make no mistake: Harris is all over the IRA. Image

How common is opposition to wind energy and what predicts where it occurs? My new open access research in @PNASNews looks at wind energy opposition across North America between 2000 to 2016. We find opposition is common and growing over time. THREAD! 🧵
pnas.org/doi/full/10.10…
Image
Methods: After compiling almost 36,000 newspaper articles, we associated them with specific wind projects in both the USA and Canada between 2000-2016. We coded whether opponents protested, used the courts, tried to block permits, or wrote letters to the editor.
We found that opposition was common and growing over time in both the USA and Canada. In the early 2000s, only around 1 in 10 wind projects was opposed. In 2016, it was closer to 1 in 4 projects. Likely, this has only grown in the past few years. Image

The Republican debt ceiling bill is a recipe for American decline. It attacks bedrock economic policies that are hugely popular.

McCarthy is in chaos, and likely doesn’t have the votes. But, House Republicans who support this bill are voting against jobs in their districts...🧵
If @RepLoudermilk supports the Republican debt ceiling bill, he is voting for killing 6,000 jobs in his Georgia district, putting $4.5B in battery manufacturing and $2.5B in solar manufacturing projects at risk. That's $7 billion of investments.
reuters.com/business/autos…
In Nebraska, @RepDonBacon’s district is home to Green Plains, a major biofuel company that recently launched a sustainable aviation fuel venture. It stands to seriously lose out if the Republican plan is passed, and biofuels support gets repealed. united.com/en/us/newsroom…

Buried down on Page 118 of the big climate law is a hydrogen tax credit. It could help clean up aviation and heavy industry.

But if the Biden admin implements it poorly, it could move us in the wrong direction on climate change. My latest in @nytimes.
nytimes.com/2023/04/14/opi…
Hydrogen is a potentially clean fuel. But it all depends on how it's produced. Image
Fossil fuel companies like BP, and utilities like Constellation, are lobbying the Biden admin for lax rules that reward hydrogen projects with federal subsidies regardless of their side effects.

Why worry about pollution when you’ve been churning it out for decades?

The world is still running on fossil fuels. But, if moving away from dirty energy is like rerouting a giant ship, then this could be the year when world leaders started to turn the tanker around.

Here’s a baker’s dozen of climate wins from 2022! THREAD!🧵
nytimes.com/2022/12/25/opi…
#1 - After more than 3 decades of failed efforts, Democrats passed a federal climate law — really a series of them.

The biggest one is the Inflation Reduction Act, but there's also CHIPS + last years' bipartisan infrastructure law.
theatlantic.com/science/archiv…
Much of the funding flows through unlimited tax credits for solar panels to heat pumps to EVs.

Metaphorically speaking, it’s like we’ve all been given a gift certificate for a discounted heat pump. How much $$$ can you get? Check out @rewiringamerica.
