Power has been restored to 35% of the almost 220K customers who lost power after yesterday's storm.
Every available resource has been mobilized including line crews, troubleshooter teams, wires-down crews, tree-trimming contractors & 62 mutual aid crews. stormandoutage.com/2024/07/3…

To recap, the Republican Party has opposed:
-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Tax increases on corporations & the rich
-The expanded Child Tax Credit
-Student debt relief
Doesn't sound like the party of the working class to me.

This take from @WEWT is right — rooftop #solar hasn't met its full potential yet. That's why groups like Solar United Neighbors work to expand solar access to homes, farms, and businesses across the country.

A common confusion is that to decarbonise, the world will need to produce the equivalent of coal, oil & gas in the form of low-carbon energy.
That's not true.
Most fossil energy gets wasted. In the US, just one-third gets turned into useful services. The rest is wasted as heat.

Always be excited about buying solar panels, but never rush into a purchase—especially if it’s “free.” 🚫
The federal government does not offer free home solar panel installations nor do we require companies to do so. See how you can avoid solar scams 👇
