Thanks to Joe Biden's efforts to transition the USA away from fossil fuels, Ford remains actively engaged in electrification efforts. The company has already phased out many traditionally powered models and is moving forward with electric vehicle production.
If you don't support Joe Biden than you are giving your support to the fossil fuel industry so keep that in mind if you want a chance to have a stable climate again in your lifetime.
Hopefully the Biden administration got these rules passed just before the new Republican created deadline of six months before the election or else Congress can just overturn the new regulations.
In July 2022, the price of a used Tesla Model Y (2021 model year) was $71,000. Today, it’s $32,000, reports Edmunds. Most remarkably, a used Tesla Model 3 is now cheaper than the average used gasoline vehicle.
Because of sophisticated cooling hardware and management software, most batteries are expected to outlive their car. Replacing the battery is unlikely to pay the full price of $6,500 to $20,000 cost. Warranty policies generally cover batteries when they fall below 75% of original capacity
Another periodic reminder that if you aren't campaigning to help get Joe Biden reelected than you're a climate science denier.
Because of Joe Biden's success towards decarbonizing the U.S. economy the first sodium ion battery factory in America opened in Michigan on Monday.
Natron's sodium-ion batteries have an enormous cycle life, practical power density, excellent safety and super-fast charging, without using any lithium.
A couple days after this Bad Hillary Tweet went viral on progressive Twitter, the Biden Admin and the EPA announced their new CO2 rules for the power sector, regulating the ability of coal fired power plants to EXIST ANYMORE.
I snagged that Carbon Brief graph and tooted it out on Earth Day after seeing Hilary's.
I didn't notice that the self-described climate activist purists were using it as yet another opening to attack Joe Biden though until I saw Hank's thread on it.
Here's the graph as modified to better reflect Biden's climate goals that we can achieve if we get him reelected.
Diageo will be replacing its natural gas boilers with heat batteries at its Kentucky and Illinois production sites thanks to Biden's efforts to decarbonize the globe's largest economy as part of his efforts to make the world a better place.
According to consulting firm Kearney, the beverage sector was responsible for 3.8% of all carbon pollution in 2021 and is not on track to meet its reduction goals.
Thank you to everyone who voted for Joe Biden or if you're not an American voter if you've promoted Democrats.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Tuesday finalized a rule that will reduce cancer-causing toxic air pollutants from chemical plants and require regular air quality monitoring.
The agency's rule will address two of President Joe Biden's key policy priorities, safeguarding vulnerable communities overburdened by pollution and advancing his goal to end cancer. #ThanxBiden
Proud to have my Yes to Wind sign, courtesy of Climate Action #rhodeisland, in my front yard!
This is the direction that the #climate movement needs to move in: to proactive solutions, not just problems; to being for things like #offshorewind as the necessary and urgent solution to the #climatecrisis.

Check out this new offshore wind vessel that is starting to be built in the USA to help us catch up to the rest of the developed world to start capturing clean energy on our coasts.
Biden's U.S. Department of Energy today finalized Congressionally-mandated energy efficiency standards for distribution transformers to increase the resiliency and efficiency of America’s power grid, support good-paying, high-quality manufacturing jobs, and accelerate the deployment of affordable, reliable, and clean electricity around the nation.
Reminder: it's simple political science to amplify the good things your allies do and highlight the harm your opponents cause.
EPA announces eight selections under the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund’s National Clean Investment Fund and Clean Communities Investment Accelerator through President Biden’s Investing in America agenda
This helps so, so much! Wise investments in our most disadvantaged communities will make America greater.
The Biden administration just approved its eighth offshore wind project which is excellent news.
With the approval of the New England Wind Project, the Biden Administration’s Interior Department led by Deb Haaland has now approved more than 10 GW of offshore wind — enough to power nearly 4 million homes. It’s good for the environment, it creates good jobs, and it’s cheaper for consumers. #ClimateAction

Despite little acknowledgement from social media, the Biden administration is making amazing progress transitioning the largest economy in the history of the universe away from fossil fuels.
New battery factory is open in Spring Hill, Tennessee!
The plant has capacity for 35 gigawatt hours of batteries per year and features smart highly automated manufacturing and quality control processes to maximize efficiency.
Ultium Cells’ first plant in Ohio, also with capacity of 35 GWh, began production in November 2022. The JV is investing US$2.6bn in a third plant in Michigan with capacity of 50 GWh, scheduled to start output in 2025.
Offshore clean energy production picking up pace on northeast coast.
Rhode Island’s briefing indicates it received proposals from Avangrid Renewables, Orsted, SouthCoast Wind Energy, and Vineyard Offshore, for around 1,200 megawatts of power.
Massachusetts has received bids by companies Avangrid Renewables, South Coast Wind Energy, and Vineyard Offshore. They’re seeking up to 3,600 megawatts.
Connecticut’s goal is to obtain up to 2,000 megawatts from new offshore wind sources. #ThanxBiden
The first steel production plant in the United States has opened for business.
Called “green” steel, Electra’s steelmaking process will, it is hoped, help slash the environmental cost of steel production. Ironmaking accounts for 90% of the CO2 emissions in steel production.
Electra claims that this accounts for a whopping 7% of global emissions. To this end, Electra makes emissions-free iron possible by integrating renewable energy resources.
A new airship production site in Doncaster will help to create a fleet of “green” aircrafts by Hybrid Air Vehicles (HAV) set for take off in 2028.
The City of Doncaster Council and HAV have revealed plans for a flagship Airlander 10 production centre at Carcroft Common.
The Airlander 10 is described as “ultra-low emissions” and “the world’s most efficient large aircraft” by HAV with a top speed of around 100mph. https://www.hybridairvehicles.com/
I'm old enough to remember when the naysayers were saying that we couldn't decarbonize heavy industry. Well, as with all their attempts to delay climate action by trying to convince people that nothing could be done, we're proving them wrong.
In anticipation of launching new electric vehicles in the United States, Volkswagen is making a major discount offer for its ID.4 AWD Pro S Plus model.
Grid energy storage is critical to a future resilient and flexible U.S. electric grid that will enable decarbonization of energy supply, ensure transition of cars to electric, and unlock a broad array of economic and societal benefits for all U.S. citizens.
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will be the home to the Office of Electricity’s new $75 million facility, the Grid Storage Launchpad, a national grid energy storage research and development facility.
Up to $6 billion more for 33 projects across 20 states to help us decarbonize!
The 'largest-ever investment' in decarbonizing industry, the projects, funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Inflation Reduction Act, will eliminate 14 million metric tons of pollution each year, according to the Department of Energy.
This is excellent news and I hope to see more announcements like this.
“The Yurok will be the first Native people to manage tribal land with the National Park Service under a historic memorandum of understanding signed Tuesday by the tribe, Redwood National and State Parks and the nonprofit Save the Redwoods League.”

I'll be trying to include the #ThanxBiden hashtag to stories highlighting the good works of the Biden administration this election year so people can go there and find stories to boost if they want to help protect democracy.
