This /very nearly/ didn't happen. Four weeks ago this bill was dead. The only reason it stayed alive was tons of hard work, dedication, coalition building, and VERY GOOD IDEAS from a huge number of people in the climate movement.

This really isn't a surprise. But the number is still jaw dropping. The U.S. is on pace to add 37 gigawatts - GIGAWATTS - of wind and solar this year. But here's the thing: We've got to do that every year for deep decarbonization. eenews.net/climatewire/stori…

Did you know there's more then one way to get involved in clean energy? Installing #solar is one way to go #100renewable, but not the only one! Check out our recent blog post to learn more. Thank you also to @solartribune for featuring MCE! mcecleanenergy.org/news/3-wa…
The average cost of a lithium-ion battery, those commonly used in electric vehicles, is rapid falling 🔋 The reduced costs will make #electric vehicles and #renewable energy sources more competitive with fossil fuels. Learn more: ow.ly/RXtO50BA6RA
"Hey, @JoeBiden! Call Me, Before Debating #Trump on #ClimateChange" Outstanding article on how Biden should counter the greatest anti-science anti- #CleanEnergy Trump hits Focus on undecided voters, not delicious gotcha moments #energy advocates imagine bit.ly/3bXYn0A

Congress has an opportunity to create hundreds of thousands of jobs, make progress on climate change and inject billions of dollars into the economy. Let's #RebuildBetter with #solar energy. youtube.com/watch?v=TjekHIYa…

The #solar industry is one of the most resilient industries in America. With simple policy action now, we can help lead our nation's economic recovery and put people back to work in the second half of this year. #SaveSolarJobs eenews.net/stories/106326067…

Key word: resilience With common sense modifications to existing policy, the #solar industry can recover many of its lost jobs and help lead America's economic recovery. #SaveSolarJobs cnbc.com/2020/05/20/coronavi…

"Our data centers now work harder when the sun shines and #wind blows" Late to the party on this one, but great action from @Google-- much more meaningful than claiming carbon neutrality due to RECs, but actually greening their operations bit.ly/2LzIgK2 #CleanEnergy
The economic impact of #COVID19 has erased 5 years of #solar job growth, rewinding the clock back to 2014 job numbers. Policy action can prevent further losses, revive many lost jobs, and help reinfuse billions into the U.S. economy. #SaveSolarJobs
🚨 BREAKING 🚨 New analysis from ACORE, @e2org, @e4thefuture & @BW_Research finds that nearly 600,000 clean energy workers have lost their jobs due to the #COVID19 pandemic. Job losses will continue unless Congress takes action to #SaveCleanEnergyJobs acore.org/april-clean-energy…

Our industry supports over 250,000 jobs in communities across every state in America - economic recovery efforts must include solar. #SaveSolarJobs @SEIA

@elonmusk New York City is buying! Our country is facing a drastic shortage and we need ventilators ASAP — we will need thousands in this city over the next few weeks. We’re getting them as fast as we can but we could use your help! We’re reaching out to you directly.

President Trump has to mobilize the US Military to fully act in the Coronavirus situation. We need their first-rate medical teams. We need their logistical support. We need their ability to get supplies from factories to where they’re needed most.
