This weekend, the New York Times ran a story claiming Sierra Club’s values have diluted our mission. They couldn’t be more wrong. The list of their errors is too long for one social post, but we go over some examples in these slides.

"San Francisco already requires most new buildings to eschew gas and run solely on electricity. Now, the metropolis is moving to ensure that substantial renovations in existing buildings are also all-electric," reports @alisontakemura.bsky.social: www.canarymedia.com/articles/car... 🔌💡
San Francisco fast-tracks all-electric standard for major renovations
With the state set to pause code updates in October, the city is racing to close what some saw as a loophole in its existing all-electric building code.

Trump is trying to kill solar power—here's how to fight back

After you flooded their offices with calls and emails, House Republicans ditched a provision in Trump's dirty and dangerous budget bill that would have sold off hundreds of thousands of acres of public lands in Nevada and Utah to help pay for billionaire tax breaks.
