"To paraphrase climate scientist Leah Stokes: All of us were born into a fossil fuel-based energy system. Nobody chose that, and the work of our life is to change that, to make it so future generations are born into a just system of abundant clean energy."

MEIC’s Anne Hedges spoke to @KULR about our recent victory which maintains public access to bill draft docs. "It means that we now know who's behind a bill... it allows you to know where a bill is coming from so you know what the purpose of it really is." https://t.co/vquWr4P1nA

"The U.S. grid added a total of just over 56 gigawatts of power capacity last year. A whopping 96 percent of that came from solar, battery, wind, nuclear, and other carbon-free installations..." https://t.co/12gTudYVMt
