  1. Same. Still. We can do better.

    "I ached with realization about the gap, the gulf, between how we *can* do things - like accessing timber selectively, with attention to ecological integrity - and how we *do* do things - taking it all, land be damned."

    - From "Climate Wayfinding" by Katharine K. Wilkinson

  3. Three years, the ocean ran a fever: nearly 84% of the world's coral hit bleaching heat. Then scientists mapped 64,000 sq mi that may survive it, 3x more than anyone counted. The sea left a door open.

  5. Clean energy is winning, despite the best tantrums and illegal orders 🍊 can muster:

    "According to a recent report from the nonprofit Environmental Defense Fund and Atlas Public Policy, a record 79.7 GW of clean power is projected to come online in the US in 2026, even as roughly 8 GW of clean energy projects were canceled in the first quarter of the year."

    - solar outpacing coal

    - solar+batteries living up to hype in California, NY, TX

    - individual/rooftop solar adding up to a lot, even where gov is stopping large-scale solar

  9. As she’s volunteered to do for every election for decades, a longtime close friend will be working for County of Monterey Elections Department on June 2, 2026 from 6am until midnight.

    She’s 89. If she is happy to put in an 18-hour day to help ensure democratic elections, surely most of you can get out and vote (if you haven’t already).

    For Californians, if you aren’t registered to vote, the last day to register for the June 2, 2026 Primary Election was May 18, 2026; see details: sos.ca.gov/elections/. If you missed that deadline, refer to Same Day Voter Registration (Conditional Voter Registration) sos.ca.gov/elections/voter-reg.

  11. We don’t take for granted living in a county and state committed to making voting convenient for all eligible citizens.

    Today we dropped off our completed ballot ✅ for the June 2, 2026 Primary Election at a Monterey County Elections official dropbox, just outside Seaside City Hall, next to Seaside library 📚. Very soon we’ll receive an email from the California Secretary of State's office, on behalf of our county, that our ballot was received and counted.💚 ✅ [Update: That email arrived in LESS THAN 24 HOURS. Our county and state’s voting system rock!] 😎 🇺🇸

  13. 🌳🌍 Reforestation momentum is building!
    Terraformation’s public platform now has over 1 million tree planting commitments from individuals, schools, and communities worldwide.
    Planting trees restores ecosystems, captures carbon, supports biodiversity, and revitalizes degraded lands.

  14. "In a first, renewables beat natural gas on US grid last month" - that's March.

    Meaning #cleanenergy produced more grid power than fossil fuels!

    Adding in nuclear, about half of grid power was emission-free

    Spring is Clean energy's best season: less heat and cooling needed, more sun and wind and water for hydro.

    Also: coal was second to last in grid power generation in March, despite the hype. 🤨

  16. Record-breaking amount of wind and solar installed in 2025

    Despite the irrational and weird vendetta of 🍊 toward wind:

    From global energy think tank Ember: the world installed a record 814 GW of new solar and wind capacity in 2025, 17% more than in 2024 (696 GW).

  18. New leader in growth of solar is...Indiana??

    Having grown up in Indiana, I am startled to see this:
    "Indiana’s solar capacity nearly doubled last year as the state trailed only Texas and California in the total amount of new capacity brought online."

  20. New England moving toward legalizing plug-in/balcony solar

    All 6 states- even New Hampshire- have legislation in process. Maine's could be signed into law next week.

    Electricity is expensive in New England by US standards and prices are rising, like everywhere (thanks, 🍊)

    Momentum is building on this!

  22. Balcony solar bills being considered in 27 states and DC, too. Both red and blue states.

    Virginia legislation has been passed and is expected to become law; UT already allows balcony solar.

    Lots of people are using plug-in solar anyway, before their state officially permits it.

    Cost of units expected to fall as more states allow them.

  24. The large tortoiseshell butterfly, thought extinct in the UK for over 60 years, is breeding again in southern England. Warmer springs allowed them to cross from Europe, and sightings are increasing from Dorset northward.

  27. More than 1,500 giant tortoises are back home in the Galápagos — and they're busy being the ultimate ecosystem engineers!
    By simply walking, eating, and doing tortoise things, these gentle giants are tearing down invasive shrubs, spreading seeds up to 5km away, and restarting ecological processes that were broken for 150 years.
    No heavy machinery, just slow, steady, solar-powered rewilding magic. The islands are coming back to life, one chomp at a time.
    Conservation success stories like this give me so much hope

    "Chart: Clean energy remains dominant in the US — despite Trump:

    Trump spent much of 2025 boosting fossil fuels and blocking renewables, but 92% of new power additions through November were solar, wind, or batteries."

    What else is there to say?

  35. If you can use a heat pump in a centuries-old British church, where can't you use one?

    Some air-source, some #geothermal. Using radiant floor heating (stone floors) or existing radiators.
    Some using #solar as well.
    Converting from gas or oil.
    Insulating buildings is a challenge.

    Despite 🍊 and other backlash.
    Even using model with slower adoption of EVs!

  37. States cooperating and accelerating #cleanenergy

    Connecticut and Maine working together to fast track more #wind and #solar before Biden credits expire, since 🍊 curtailed them. Both states passed clean energy mandates. #ME has more space, #CT has more money, basically.

    Several states are streamlining process/speeding up schedules, same reason.

    Offering their drivers $4k grant toward used EV purchase, replacing Biden's federal tax incentive that 🍊 ended.

    Part of Uber's plan to go all EV in next 5 years. Their strategy sounds bigger than US and bigger than 🍊

  40. Hello fediverse solarpunks! We’re Solarpunk Presents Podcast, a podcast run on a shoestring budget by two lady solarpunks, one in Canada (@arielkroon) and one in Germany (@[email protected]). We’re not great with technology, but we happen to both be PhDs from the opposite sides of the spectrum between STEM and Humanities/the Arts, and we’re united in our working towards solarpunk futures.

    Our podcast is an interview-style podcast where we talk to guests and each other about various aspects of solarpunk, renewable energies, political action, and more. Often, our guests are people who wouldn’t label themselves as solarpunks, but are (and have been, often for years) quietly involved in working towards making the world a better place to live in. We strongly believe that once you get past the aesthetic and hype about renewables, solarpunk at its core promotes compassion, kinship with non-humans and humans alike, and grace for our fellow human beings as we all work together to survive on our shared planet.

    You can support the podcast on Patreon, with tiers starting at just $1 USD! We host a monthly solarpunk hangout that all of our patrons are invited to, and all Patrons at the $3 tier and up receive early access to our episodes. There are more tiers with more extras, so head to patreon.com/solarpunkpresents to see them all. We also take one-time or recurring donations over at our PayPal: paypal.com/donate/?hosted_butt
    Even if you’re not in the financial position to donate, we really value other forms of support, such as positive reviews on your podcatcher of choice (it helps us be more visible and reach more solarpunks!), or subscriptions to our YouTube channel and comments there. As writers, we thrive on feedback, and we are continually trying to make the podcast better and want to know what you think.

    As I’ve said before, it's rough out there for anyone valuing the environment, social justice, compassion, and more, and we want to keep doing our part to keep hope alive. We want to broaden the imagination of what it's possible to do to contribute to a better world, no matter who you are, where you live, or what life stage you're at.
