I can only imagine what conspiracy theory Republicans would concoct in opposition to this. As the rest of the world moves forward with renewable energy, the US will be left in the dust.
Japan has just opened its first osmotic power plant 🌊⚡

This works by mixing fresh & salt water across a membrane, creating pressure that drives a turbine to make electricity.

This site will generate 880,000 kWh a year...while helping run a desalination plant providing fresh water to the city 👏
Japan has opened its first osmotic power plant – so what is it and how does it work?
The site in Fukuoka is only the second power plant of its type in the world, harnessing the power of osmosis to run a desalination plant in the city

Earthjustice President @abbiedillen.bsky.social on the Endangerment Finding repeal: “How is it possible that the EPA is telling us that we aren’t endangered now? To observe the pain that millions of Americans are suffering and officially shrug it off — well, it’s an epic level of gaslighting.”

Trump is fast-tracking new coal mines — even when they don’t make economic sense.

In Appalachian Tennessee, mines shut down and couldn't pay their debts. Now a new one is opening under the guise of an "energy emergency."

Despite global opposition, Trump just fast-tracked deep-sea mining.

The move opens the door for companies tired of waiting for permission to scrape the ocean floor.
