States investing the most in #wind and #solar actually have lower electricity costs on average — including 13 states that voted for Trump. The data (from the government itself) shows renewables are saving consumers money while cutting pollution.

Facts matter.

As more EVs hit the road, the used market will grow too, strengthening what’s already the fastest-selling car segment in America.

While states can’t fully replace the federal tax credits, restoring state-level incentives is a strong step to keep clean transportation moving forward ⚡

By restoring EV rebate programs — with point-of-sale rebates, vouchers, & tax credits for new and used vehicles — states can help lower upfront costs, boost demand, and make clean vehicles accessible to more people.

Federal EV tax credits have officially expired, putting clean transportation progress at risk.

While most people are fully on board with the benefits of clean vehicles, their high upfront cost remains a major barrier to adoption.

This is where states can step up ⤵️

“The findings suggest it is possible for the world to wean off polluting sources of power — even as demand for electricity skyrockets — with continued investment in renewables including solar, wind, hydropower, bioenergy and geothermal energies.” 👏🏼👏🏼

The sun gives us more energy in one hour than we use in an entire year. Imagine the future if we focus on harnessing this clean energy force — clear skies, healthy communities, strong economies.

The DOE is now forbidding the Office of *Energy Efficiency* and *Renewable Energy* from using words like ‘climate change,’ ‘green,’ ‘emissions,’ and ‘energy transition’ in their work.

Coz sweeping the problem under the rug has always worked out so well 👍

Energy Dept. adds ‘climate change’ and ‘emissions’ to banned words list

It is the latest in a series of Trump administration efforts to dispute, silence or downplay climate change.

But progress isn’t automatic. It depends on people like us pushing, voting, showing up, and making sure leaders know we expect more.

Let’s keep reminding our state leaders that every climate action they take safeguards communities, protects lives, and shows that progress is still possible.

Across the country, states are setting bold climate targets, strengthening emission rules, expanding clean energy, and pushing cleaner transportation. They’re proving that even when federal policy lags, state leadership can innovate, hold the line, and push us forward.

At a time when the climate crisis is accelerating all around us, the federal government is rolling back policies we desperately need. But states are showing us what’s possible — and why their leadership is so critical right now.

State legislators have the power to cut red tape, save families money, and supercharge solar.

Let's urge them to follow suit & introduce a bill to support smart permitting for residential solar and battery systems👇👇

New Jersey has a bill (A5264) to create the State Smart Solar Permitting Platform, an online tool that could slash wait times.

If signed into law, it could unlock 200,000 new residential solar projects by 2040, 1,600 megawatts of clean power, & save families over $400 million — all from one tool.

Right now, project-killing delays & outdated paperwork are making it harder for homeowners to go solar.

But there’s a better way: an online permitting system that cuts red tape and speeds up approvals.

Families losing homes to floods, farmers facing record drought, communities struggling with wildfire smoke & extreme heat — this isn’t a con. It’s reality.

Dismissing it doesn’t stop the climate crisis — it only accelerates it.

Many states still lack streamlined frameworks for plug-in solar. That means installing plug-in solar usually requires a complicated grid interconnection request—something developers might manage, but it can be overwhelming for homeowners or renters.

Here’s the good news:

Climate Action Now @climateactapp.bsky.social · 16d

Plug-in solar, as the name suggests, are solar panels you can plug into a regular outlet—just like any other appliance. ⚡️☀️

They’re a game-changer for renters, families who can’t afford rooftop systems, and anyone who wants affordable clean energy.

But…
