#USA #US — Slower electrification could cost the U.S. economy a cumulative $2.3 trillion through 2035. — Restricting renewable growth is estimated to cost $121 billion from 2027 to 2033. — Policy uncertainties have led to the cancellation of 20-25% of solar projects. — U.S. electricity prices have already risen more than 40% since the start of the pandemic (text available in “reading mode”) https://www.masslive.com/opinion/2026/11/environmental-injuries-mount-with-each-passing-day-of-trump-20-paul-chiampa.html #ClimateChange #UpheavalClimate #pollution #ecology #environment #climate

#USA #US This was the “affordability election” with concerns about inflation & high energy prices Newly elected lawmakers will enter office with energy policy proposals to address voter concerns She noted that renewable energy is less expensive than fossil fuels and can be developed quickly, promising rapid benefits for consumers. The growth of electric transportation reduces greenhouse gas emissions & shields consumers from the volatility of gasoline & diesel https://insideclimatenews.org/news/05112026/inside-clean-energy-democrats-trifecta-results/ #climate

Accountability is the exact word the US needs to show now Show the world that corruption on the highest level is not accepted and that there are consequences following these actions otherwise what is the point People in charge and powerful people should be held MORE accountable compared to the average person They have a lot more resources to make sure they don't fuck up yet often they go the other way No more #US #USPol

#US well done yesterday.

The Civil Rights Act of 1965 helped pave the way for Black voters, the beginning of dismantling Jim Crow. But, it took a long time. It wasn't a magic law, just like Brown vs. The Board of Education didn't automatically desegregate the schools. But, 1965. Think about how long ago that was, not too long after I was born. I came along just a few days after the famous "I Have a Dream" speech during the historic March on Washington. Fast forward to now, where voter suppression in Georgia is still a thing, and Stacey Abrams has fought like hell to defeat most of it. And yet. And yet. We now have a Black woman as our Governor! That's earth-shattering change that only took almost my entire life to happen. Keisha Lance-Bottoms busted right through that glass ceiling, showering us with tiny sparkling grains, shining like diamonds in the bright new day. The future begins now. #USPol #US #Politics #Election #USElection

I'm just a simple European but when you ask me what "American Greatness" should mean I would reply with "Real American greatness is fighting for the little ones, creating equality, fairness, looking our for another" and not: "To rebuild a white nationalist christian America" The latter is what the Nazi's also said #US #USPol

#USA #US Fires in the U.S. are getting faster, larger and more dangerous, but people continue to develop and move into fire-prone regions. New research from the University of Colorado Boulder's Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) shows that if we don't act on climate change, which fuels fires, manage vegetation or transform how we build and adapt to fire, the risk to structures in the U.S. will almost triple by midcentury https://phys.org/news/2026-11-losses-triple.html #ClimateChange

#USA #US Most forecasts project Democrats winning the House and a narrow majority in the Senate in the November 3 election. But without control of the White House, passing any legislation will be difficult and almost any climate policy will have to be a bipartisan endeavor, say analysts Given that and the Democrats’ messaging-shift to affordability over climate, few experts expect a fully resurrected Inflation Reduction Act https://globalnation.inquirer.net/345354/for-us-democrats-climate-policy-is-now-about-energy-bills/amp #ClimateChange #pollution #ecology #climate

@tusk81@mastodon.social With all that the Trump regime is doing with ICE, I am constantly reminded of this quote from *The Diary of Anne Frank* "Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared". Anne Frank, 1943 #Trump #ICE #Nazis #GOP #Politics #US #USA #Quote #Quotes #Meme #Memes
