Recently, we joined our partners at @nationalwildlife.bsky.social, Save the Sound , and @sierraclub.org to check out the South Fork Wind Farm, which generated 1,000+ new jobs, powers 70,000 homes annually, and eliminates the equivalent of 60,000 cars' worth of CO2 emissions EACH year.
Big Oil companies are going all-out to avoid taking responsibility for the harm caused to communities and for driving the climate crisis. They are using an age-old strategy: delay, distort, and deny. But we won’t let them off the hook.
Data centers could be raising your utility bills—and putting your health at risk—to keep up with their hunger for power. Data centers are gobbling up entire cities' worth of energy, and too often, they're turning to toxic fossil fuels for power. (🧵⬇️)
