Isn't it funny how our institutions were originally built to support massive electricity growth, which they faithfully did for decades, and it was a crisis when demand growth slowed, and it's somehow a crisis now that it's growing again...even though we have so many new options?

Floods, fires and hurricanes require insurance companies to make climate related business decisions. Republican AG attacks on those companies are short on facts and weak on the law. Purely designed to intimidate.

We are grateful to have @CarlPope’s support of Prop 30, California’s next big step in environmental justice. #YesOn30 means more affordable EVs, reduced wildfires, and cleaner air.

Climate Column of the Day: The Democrats' climate and inflation-fighting legislation is a critical breakthough in the US fight against climate change. But we urgently need to control methane pollution to have greatest impact. #IRA @CarlPope explains why: bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

After SCOTUS ruling, the @EPA could use the Court's own guidance to protect us against #coal pollutants. The good news? The ruling’s direct environmental impacts likely to be more modest for these two reasons, as @CarlPope writes in today’s #sheekeydaily. sheekeydaily.com

Today @DavidSolomon and I are announcing a new partnership to bring more capital to clean energy projects globally, with a special focus on South & SE Asia. As countries seek a green recovery, we must ensure they can tap into the power of the market. bloom.bg/3dWNU7S

The Trump administration may have pulled us out of the Paris Climate Agreement—but make no mistake—countless cities, states, and businesses are still in. We have actually accelerated our progress on climate over the last four years. And we’re not done yet. #AmericasPledge

Heatwaves. Fires. Lightning storms. Hurricanes. Climate change isn’t knocking on our door. It’s knocking the door down. We need to elect leaders who treat the problem as the dire threat it is or we’ll continue to pay the price. bloom.bg/35uvM1J

Wow. Why are they so scared to show the costs of running coal plants paid for by their ratepayers?

Most U.S. coal plants lose money and would be shut down if not for subsidies & other misguided policies – harming our economy and our health. @BloombergDotOrg & the Powering Past Coal Alliance are partnering up to help the world shift to cleaner sources. mikebloom.bg/2GQJKvG
