Today at @ClimateHawkVote we're spotlighting @MelanieforNM in #NM01. She's got a new ad up -- watch it! bit.ly/32SBzeL
@ClimateHawkVote @MelanieforNM What I really like about this ad -- @MelanieforNM is running on climate, clean energy, a grid bill that she passed !!! and #NM01 jobs, all while highlighting her local roots. bit.ly/32SBzeL
@ClimateHawkVote @MelanieforNM (I had to look up Burquena. It means Albuquerquean, and it's much easier to say and spell)
@ClimateHawkVote @MelanieforNM meanwhile, Melanie's opponent is running as a climate disaster. His website has a heading "protect NM jobs" but when you click it's just ONLY about fossil fuel jobs. Jobs-- whether fossils, or clean energy jobs of the future -- are on the ballot in #NM01
@ClimateHawkVote @MelanieforNM Reminder: #NM01 is vacant. Election June 1, and the sooner we send Melanie to Congress the sooner Dems have a vote for the American Jobs Plan and more.
@ClimateHawkVote @MelanieforNM so can you chip in to help climate hawk @MelanieforNM beat a climate disaster? bit.ly/3tZETAy

hey. Y'all in Cal (or #energytwitter generally) listening? I want to talk a moment about #AB1139, an anti-solar bill. And some other stuff. Thread, beginning.
Years ago Cal passed laws to allow solar owners to sell their excess sunshine back to the grid, aka Net Energy Metering. And it worked. #AB1139
In fact, NEM worked so well that the investor owned utilities - Cal PG&E, Sempra/ San Diego Gas & Elecric, SoCal Edison -- got cranky because it was cutting into their profits.

So NEM was revised to be somewhat less generous to homeowners, and that's called NEM 2.0. #AB1139

short thread on #SB467. If you follow California folk, you are seeing lots of tweets on it. What is it? Simply THE MOST GROUNDBREAKING CLIMATE BILL EVER.
#sb467 will do 3 things: create 2500' setbacks from oil wells to people's homes; ban fracking and manage the decline of California's powerful oil industry; and provide for a just transition for oil workers.

That's a lot to unpack, so let's talk about each one.
1st, public health. It's simple: when you live next to an oil well, you get sick. Many states including Texas have setback requirements. California has none.

gonna do a thread on the @DNC removal of fossil fuel subsidy language, and why it's, ah, sorta suspect. Sit down. #EndFossilFuelSubsidies
@DNC and if you read my tweets yest., you know that it's politically popular, both Biden and Harris campaigned on it, and removal of #EndFossilFuelSubsidies language is just mystifying. But let's look carefully at the DNC stated reason.
@DNC as quoted in @blkahn excellent piece yest. bit.ly/3hpmDdX the #EndFossilFuelSubsidies language was included in a manager's mark "by mistake" and removed later by agreement of the Biden/Bernie campaigns. I'm gonna go into some process deets, bear with me.

hey, y'all listening? I want to talk in a bit more detail than yesterday about the Biden Bernie Unity Task Force climate plan. Will use same hashtag as yesterday -- #Underwhelmed.
First, the document, all 110 pages. First 6 pages are Platformese climate; then pp. 42-55 are Policy-ese climate. I skimmed a few other sections and there may be stray climate mentions elsewhere too. #Underwhelmed bit.ly/2ZTXv7z
Next, some praise. This is a labor-friendly climate plan. And that matters a lot, because non-union cleantech doesn't get much respect in Dem circles compared to labor folk who donate and walk and elect Dems. Still, I'm #Underwhelmed.

hey folk, y'all listening? I want to talk about @TheDemocrats platform drafting process, sorta flying under the radar, and some climate specific things in it. Will use #DNCClimatePlatform.
quick background on the platform drafting process... well, read my thread from Monday. Hasn't been covered in any mainstream outlet yet.
(more background) if you read my Monday PM tweets, or on the @ClimateHawkVote email list, or actually watched DNC Youtube hearings, you know that this sham of a "public hearing" is highly choreographed. #DNCClimatePlatform

A modest proposal regarding allocating your donations.

Walk away from Kentucky.

It's unwinnable.

Do I need to do a thread?
Ok. A thread. I kept @ClimateHawkVote out of #KYSen because, well, lots of reasons but foremost was that the general election would be unwinnable.
The way to #DitchMitch2020 is to diminish his power. Make him a minority leader. That means donate to Dems in AZ, CO, GA (both), IA, ME, NC, and even SC and TX. All of these are more winnable than KY.
