Every day brings frightening new policies destructive to our climate. It hurts to even read this. Thanks for bringing this to light.

This pause poses real challenges, but it’s worth remembering that the momentum for renewables is strong and increasingly driven by market forces. Setbacks like this are hurdles, not roadblocks. The long-term trajectory still points toward a cleaner, more sustainable energy future. 🌱 #energysky

This June, 65 million Americans across 13 states will see their monthly electricity bills increase by up to 30 percent—all because of one shadowy organization standing in the way of low-cost clean energy.

A illustration from southern Wyoming -- that will hopefully have both phases already permitted so able to fully proceed.

This large project is half on private land (green) and BLM federally administered land (yellow).
