This heat wave highlights how critical utility shutoff protections are. @DominionEnergy will resume shutoffs next week, leaving vulnerable households without the ability to cool their homes on extremely hot days. It’s time to pass laws preventing shutoffs during extreme weather.

An extraordinary marine heatwave has developed off the east coast of Canada, with hundreds of thousands of square miles of ocean experiencing sea surface temperatures more than 5°C (9°F) above normal and max anomalies approaching 10°C (18°F) above normal.
Thermal stress from this marine heatwave could have major impacts on marine life in the Northwest Atlantic.
