Media keeps counting Biden/IRA climate progress. More important: how fast it happens. Cutting 40% by 2030 is mediocre. Cutting it by 2026 is a revolution. Numbers matter. salon.com/2022/08/18/after-b…

.@AReynoldsCPUC @CliffCPUC @ShiromaCPUC @HouckCPUC the NEM 3.0 proposal helps no one but PG&E. Making solar completely unaffordable for most Californians is a terrible idea. California needs to continue to be a leader in this area! #SaveSolar

After months of building pre-production vehicles, this morning our first customer vehicle drove off our production line in Normal!  Our team's collective efforts have made this moment possible. Can't wait to get these into the hands of our customers!

I just subscribed to Mike’s Cartoon Diary mikedawson.substack.com/?utm…. I read Mike’s brilliant comic on his late grandmother’s WWII experience on the Nib today. He connects that worldwide crisis with today’s climate crisis in a profound way.

Volvo's XC90 Recharge is electric part of the time and lovely all of the time. Until they make it all-electric, it's the big Volvo SUV to own. stevegoesgreen.com/2021/04/2…
We must address the urgency of the climate crisis. Today I signed a Secretarial Order announcing the creation of a new Climate Task Force that prioritizes action on climate change and pursues environmental justice. We at @interior have a mandate to act.

Although I don't own one yet, I'm a big fan of e-bikes. The Dutch company VanMoof makes a beauty, and has just announced a major expansion from 8 to 50 cities. stevegoesgreen.com/2021/03/2…

The Dutch are the world's best bicycle users, and through the Dutch Cycling Embassy, are spreading their great ideas and practices around the world. I recently attended an online presentation to the people of the San Francisco Bay Area. stevegoesgreen.com/2021/03/0…
