Leading an all-out national mobilization to defeat the climate crisis by building the just, thriving, clean energy economy we deserve.
Thank you @vanhollen.senate.gov, @beyer.house.gov and Members of Congress urging PJM to shield families from skyrocketing energy costs driven by data center growth and PJM’s mismanagement.

PJM must put consumers first—not utility profits

Imagine this: Georgia—a state Trump won in 2024— holds two elections just about electricity prices.

Democrats run on lowering costs through clean energy.

And they both win—by 20 points.

First time Democrats have done that in 20 years. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

How can states keep making progress on sustainable transportation—even as the Trump admin rolls back climate action? Check out the latest episode of @volts.wtf and hear Evergreen’s senior transportation policy lead Liya Recthman dive into the tools and strategies at states' disposal.
Today on Volts: sustainable transportation policy is under comprehensive attack by the federal government, but states can soften the blow. Specifically, governors have a little-understood authority to transfer existing federal funds to EV charging, bike lanes, & transit. But time is running out!
Hey governors: you can salvage sustainable transportation, but you need to do it quick!
Liya Rechtman lays out the playbook for governors to salvage clean transportation using existing federal funds before it's too late.

Voters in VA and NJ sent a clear message: they’re done paying the price for politicians who put corporate profits ahead of people.

We look forward to working with @mikiesherrill.bsky.social and @abigailspanberger.com as they move to cut costs for families through homegrown, clean energy.

"We're going to produce more energy, and we're going to lower costs—and we're going to do that by producing more energy here in Virginia."

That's the blueprint for how Democrat win big: connect clean energy to lower costs and homegrown power.

Congratulations @abigailspanberger.com 🎉

The same tech giants that are forcing you and me to pay to power their data centers through our electric bill apparently have no problem paying for Donald Trump to tear down parts of the White House so he can build a $300 million ballroom for himself.
October 23, 2025 at 8:37 PM
The economics are clear: The push to build fossil fuels to power data centers is going to hurt people and one way to address that harm is by demanding these centers be built with clean, cheap, fast-to-build energy sources like wind and solar. From @profgalloway.com

Families need relief. Communities need lower power bills.

Instead of working across the aisle to deliver help, Republicans shut down the government so that Trump could keep abusing power.

Thank you to our speakers & all who joined today’s Climate Week panel with Three Cairns Group on the success of congestion pricing.

Congestion relief is a reminder that change can take time, but with support from leaders across government, business, advocacy and more—it’s worth the wait.

Time is short for households to take advantage of home energy credits before the end of the year.

It's also time for states to step up and fill the gap in making heat pumps affordable for everyone.

Trump’s own Energy Secretary admitted the truth: “We’re going to get blamed.”

And he’s right. Trump’s war on clean energy is driving electricity bills up for working families—while padding fossil fuel profits. 🧵

Trump’s EPA is trying to rip rooftop solar funding from low-income families––breaking the law and hiking energy costs to keep fossil fuel CEOs happy.

As record heat and data centers strain the grid, they’re sabotaging the fastest, cheapest power we have. www.evergreenaction.com/press/trumps...
