ICYMI 🔔 German state-owned Uniper inked a purchase and supply agreement with the yet to be built Ksi Lisims LNG project and its proponents Texas based Western LNG LLC. When first proposed, this polluting project was going to cost $8-9 billion. #GreenSky

Background photo of an LNG export facility. Quote reads “"This is a major step backwards for climate action by both the German and Canadian governments who have pulled out all the stops to ink this deal. Moving forward with a massive new methane gas project as devastating wildfires rage across Canada and Europe is irresponsible and an abdication of leadership. Morally, it's a slap in the face to all of us who are impacted by deadly heatwaves and smoke." Quote attributed to Richard Brooks, Climate Finance Campaign Director at Stand.earth.

Gastown? More like Coaltown! Thermal coal has devastating impacts on Canada and the world. The Canadian Liberal government committed to phasing out thermal coal exports by 2030. Instead, the Port of Vancouver is the premier coal exporter in North America... 🧵 #GreenSky #Canada

🔔 #GoodClimateNews alert 🔔 “If these pilot projects are successful, this new technology could enable hundreds of thousands of miles of train tracks around the world to generate clean, renewable energy for local communities.” 🚆 Next stop: Electric Avenue! ⚡️

Switzerland has turned its train tracks into solar power plants

The patented solar panels use existing unused space to generate clean electricity — without getting in the way of a single train.

WARNING ‼️ The newly proposed oil pipeline by the Alberta government would be a death sentence for endangered whales swimming off the B.C. coast and push them closer to extinction! #GreenSky

75 of these whales remain. A new West Coast pipeline would be 'devastating' for them, experts say | CBC News

Multiple environmental groups are concerned the Alberta government's proposed oil pipeline route poses a risk to southern resident killer whales. They are protected under the Species At Risk Act, but ...

Climate change-fuelled weather is leading to more devastating wildfires in B.C., with multiple communities now on evacuation order and others warned to leave at a moment’s notice. People across the continent, and the world, are being forced from their homes and need urgent help. 🧵 #GreenSky

Arrow icon in bottom right corner. Cream-colored background. “Climate change is fueling more frequent and destructive wildfires, like the ones burning across the province.

People fled their homes with no warning or support from Doug Ford and his provincial government, despite Namaygoosisagagun First Nation Chief Helen Paavola’s direct request for evacuation help from the Ministry of Natural Resources. Across British Columbia, there are currently 32 evacuation orders and 29 evacuation alerts. Entire communities have been uprooted or are waiting to leave on a moment’s notice.

75 southern resident killer whales remain. Experts say a new Alberta-BC pipeline would push their already endangered species closer to extinction. I talked to experts, including @stand.earth, about why they say the pipeline would be “devastating.” My latest for CBC News: www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Reality doesn’t care about political talking points. This isn’t because Spain and France forgot to rake the forest. This is climate change, plain and simple, and it’s only going to get worse. 🚨 Nearly 200,000 people are running for their lives from out-of-control wildfires.

We know Chevron's new facility for Microsoft was big, but we didn't know it was BIG. Thanks to some independent journalism and examination of permits, it was just revealed that upon completion, its planned capacity will place it as the *second-largest natural gas power plant* in the United States.

Background photo of a flaring gas plant. BREAKING news icon in top left corner. “New Chevron gas power plant for Microsoft will be the second largest capacity of any U.S. gas power facility once complete” “Microsoft's contract with Chevron is for 20 years, stipulates power plant will be off grid, and provides dedicated power for data centers” Arrow icon on right side of image.Red background. “Only a facility in Florida is larger” Graph showing Top 10 Natural Gas POwerplants in the U.S., by capacity (MW), an arrow with by the bar of a West County Energy Center in Florida power plant that has 3,263 MW capacity there is shows that the Microsoft/Chevron facility is close behind, at 3000 MW capacity, ahead of the next 9 largest power plants by capacity. “Chart Source: Foundations of Energy, Jeff Krimmel Data Source: EIA” Arrow icon in bottom right corner.
