US companies are rushing to buy #solar panels ahead of the Trump admin’s OBBBA accelerated phaseout of tax credits. Aggressive hedging incl 660MW of panel sales in June & July alone vs 620MW Jan-May 2025. More restrictions soon via @timmcdonnell @semafor

The early phaseout of solar tax credits could end up helping Chinese manufacturers at the expense of US firms.

Public works field teams are doing their part to limit flood risk, but they can only be in so many places to improve #drainage before the storms. Help yourself and help others avoid street #flooding caused by stormwater #runoff.
With extreme weather expected in Ohio this week, today’s the perfect opportunity to clear those storm drains. Your basement and neighbors will thank you! #wastewater #storms

Watershed health influences biodiversity. This #biosurvey and #volunteermonitoring event educates and engages the community. Looks fun too, @CVC_CA!.
On Saturday July 12, 19 butterfly enthusiasts volunteered to help us complete our seventh annual butterfly count! 🦋 We surveyed Ken Whillans, Warwick and Upper Credit Conservation Areas and identified 441 butterflies from 38 different species. Year after year, this event helps
