Sane Energy

Sane Energy Fighting for a Sane Energy future. We build every campaign through a lens of racial, social, and economic justice. Attitudes. Action.
(2)

To realize our vision, we work to change three conditions:

Awareness. We work to:

• Alert the public to the risks that fracked gas infrastructure poses to the climate and public health.
• Amplify the voices of the most vulnerable communities
• Reinforce the work that other grassroots groups are doing to educate the public about clean energy solutions.
• Spotlight the undemocratic way that toxic

projects are rubber-stamped by government agencies.
• Increase awareness of alternative models of energy ownership.
• Educate the public about the rights of nature and threats to safe, clean habitats. We aim to:

• Dispel the false narrative that gas is safe and clean and that its development benefits the climate.
• Foster the understanding that a transition to community-owned renewable energy is
not only possible but is already underway.
• Set an example by learning from those most impacted by toxic projects. Build a movement that models respectful, collaborative, bottom-up organizing. Acknowledge at all of our events that we occupy Indigenous land and support reparations work. We empower people by:

• Mentoring and fostering community-based leadership so that, together, we magnify our reach.
• Building a movement that models respectful, collaborative, bottom-up organizing.
• Meeting people where they are, i.e., understanding that all tactics are not for everyone
• Lending direct support to our allies around the state via art building, strategy,
training, and media outreach.
• Instigating and supporting action and alliances at the local, statewide, and regional levels.

No! The SEC has proposed rescinding its 2024 climate disclosure rule, in a move to remove federal requisites that public companies disclose financially material climate-related risks, & for some, GHG emissions. The rule hasn't taken effect due to litigation but was to give information on climate-related financial risks of public companies; the proposal's view of SEC disclosure authority could extremely lessen transparency of corporations. It will be open to public comment for 60 days after publication. Please comment after publication.

Proposal would leave investors with less information about climate risks while advancing legal theory that could weaken corporate disclosure more broadly.

The Connecticut legislature ok'ed a plug-in solar bill to be signed by Gov. Ned Lamont & go into effect on October 1, 2026. Plug-in, or balcony solar, is good for all unable to install rooftop solar, but in the US it faces two hurdles. Utilities often treat simple plug-in solar like full rooftop solar, needing expensive connection agreements & fees, & tenants & homeowner association members are restricted. Plug in solar is great news for the six approved states. Get plugged in 44 other states, DC & territories!

Traditional rooftop solar just isn't an option for renters, apartment dwellers, low-income families, or owners with shady roofs.

Huge shame on the Georgia Public Service Commission for allowing Georgia Power to keep passing on all its fuel costs to ratepayers instead of devising an incentive for the utility to better manage fuel costs, AND without giving the ratepayers a say in what kind of fuels the RATEPAYERS WANT the utility to use. Two Commissioners voted to investigate issues, including Georgia Power's expensive decision to run coal plants, costing customers $152 million, and they sought evidence from the utility to justify coal use, but three other Commissioners voted them down. Massive shame.

Heat pump startup Quilt and energy hub Palmetto are allowing people to access the benefits of heat pumps without the up-front cost of installing the equipment. The units run on electricity, and they cool & heat with energy efficiency. During Biden's term, a federally funded program improved their performance in cold weather. They beat gas furnace sales 4 years in a row, & they now have beat A/C sales. Quilt has very efficient technology; now a monthly plan covers all from installation to maintenance.

The US startup Quilt is making its indoor and outdoor heat pumps more accessible to homeowners on a budget.

Extreme heat is one of the most dangerous climate change risks in the UK, per a new government-backed report warning the nation is “built for a climate that no longer exists.” On May 25 the UK had its hottest May day on record. London temps have been 95 degrees F., 30 degrees higher than average, as other nations in Europe are suffering from high heat, with related deaths in France and water systems failing in the UK. A heat dome is trapping warm African air over Europe, with limited A/C. The excessive heat is dangerous for the young, the elderly & those with health issues.

A new report says the United Kingdom must invest in more widespread cooling, particularly for the most vulnerable populations, as climate change accelerates.

Sorry renewable energy haters, data centers and fossil fuel energy are what make the cost of electricity skyrocket, not solar and/or wind energy. Ahem, when was the last time you PAID for the sun to shine or the wind to blow? I rest my case. Hellfire, it is a mighty senseless argument that natural processes not involving extreme drilling into the Earth and forcing some dangerous source of fuel dangerous to humans when lit is the cause of extreme warming of the planet and NOT the fossil fuels themselves.

There are about 3,000 businesses participating in Scotland’s net-zero economy, according to the report

We watched stand in calm truth today to defend and pass in a landslide victory on the NYS Assembly floor. *If only our few critics were as critical of combustible, toxic, and costly fracked gas coming into our homes as they are about capturing the sun ☀️ shining on our homes, we’d be in better shape. 🌏 💕

Around the Earth, the story is of early extreme heat waves. But holy frack, fossil fuel interests say NO with so much money people aren't listening. Why-ever, they don't understand if climate change causes extreme heat & constant A/C use is expensive, it's due to climate change. Crop failures from both extreme cold & heat and cuts to Colorado River water usage (& more) cost money. Psst, energy from solar & wind costs much less than from fossil fuels which caused the freezes & the heat.

Many parts of the world are sweltering in record heat, but research shows people don't want to hear about the causes.

potus doesn't give a frack about the health of anyone living near fossil fuel infrastruc-ture from which he benefits at all, from 1 cent to $1 billion. But he also doesn't care about the Big Oil CEOs & money guys because anyone with a brain knows CO2/GHG emissions spread over the globe with NO escape. The federal government keeps slashing key environmental rules. The new EPA budget cuts funding 52%; it's ok with him if we all get sick.

Many communities are also frustrated with state-level inaction but still see some opportunities for pushback.
