Cambria Heights Elementary school in Pennsylvania is going solar! ☀️Through a state-funded Solar for Schools grant, 60-70% of their electricity will be generated by rooftop panels.

With half the cost covered by the grant and with additional federal tax credits, what was once a 10-year payback could now be as short as five years.

It's a win for students, schools, and the planet!

Data centers in Texas used a whopping 49 billion gallons of water in 2025. 💧

Even if data centers use recycled water, since much of it evaporates during the cooling process, they still have dramatic ecological impacts. ♻️

Take action to demand clean energy for data centers to reduce their overall environmental impact ‼️:

Data centers are raising the cost of electricity for everyone. We can cut costs and pollution if they use clean energy

The national average price per gallon of gas hit $4.64 compared to less than $3 prior to the war on Iran.

So how much are EV drivers saving right now?

The average EV user is likely to save around $1600 in annual savings from fuel compared to gas vehicles. Paired with the fact that used EV prices have fallen below even the average gas vehicle recently, EVs are not only competitive with gas vehicles, they’re the smarter financial option.

Gas prices are expected to remain high because of the Iran war, increasing the cost advantages of switching to electric vehicles over gas-powered cars.

Virginia Democrats are looking at federal funding for EVs as an affordability solution. 💰

While Virginians normally spend $50 million a day on gas, that average has tripled in the past couple weeks. ‼️

More federal funding for EVs would release some of the demand for gas.
