🧵 I want to make one point about the federal permitting bill. Before I do, I'd just encourage everyone who's interested in the details to listen to this podcast, which covers them ... extensively. There's a lot of complicated stuff in there & the cartoonish portrayals you see online are misleading.

What’s up with the new federal permitting reform bill?

A conversation with Daniel Palken of Arnold Ventures.

This year's Summer Conference & Lobby Day brought advocates from across the country to Washington to build relationships with Congress and push for durable, bipartisan climate solutions. 750+ volunteers. 400+ meetings on Capitol Hill. That's what people-powered climate advocacy looks like 💪

An unfair, outdated policy known as line extension allowances (LEAs) lets gas utilities charge existing customers for the cost of expanding gas pipelines to new customers. Each year, in Minnesota, LEAs cost customers $34 million annually.

Permitting reform is something that everybody wants for their own personal reasons. I think our [clean] technologies are better, and if we have a level playing field, our technologies are going to be the majority of what gets built. - @jigarshahdc.bsky.social @cclusa.org #CCLinDC

For the morning crew, I was really happy to chat with @brianpjcronin.bsky.social for this piece about the fight in NY over whether we'll lean into a clean energy future. And some of the tools NY hasn't yet pulled from their toolbox: virtual power plants and demand response.

Brian PJ Cronin@brianpjcronin.bsky.social · 7mo ago

New, from me: The 2nd part in our series on NY’s beleaguered climate law. We’re behind on (most of) our targets and the Governor wants to weaken it. What can we do to get back on track?

With everything else going on, spend some time with the fact that yesterday, after the successful Trans Lunar Injection burn, the crew of Artemis II became the first humans to leave Earth orbit since 1972. They will travel further from Earth than anyone ever has. www.nasa.gov/blogs/missio...
