Despite recent U.S. federal government decisions, coal is the wrong investment in 2025. We need renewables to help meet rising demand, keep costs down, and ensure a stable, reliable grid. 🔆🌇

From Maine to Texas to California & beyond, this trend is being driven by state-level action. For example, Iowa—the first state to pass a renewable energy portfolio standard—now generates over 60% of its electricity from wind. 💨⚡

💨 The U.S. grew Direct Air Capture from a handful of startups to 150+ in under a decade. Federal policy made it possible — but funding is now uncertain. States with clean power, waste heat & CO₂ storage can step in as the next leaders: https://t.co/YK7RTjIHGn
