A 2018 hailstorm ruined Texas farmer Steve Cargil's cabbage, onion crops, convincing him to put a quarter of his acreage in solar.
Now he earns $200,000 a year. A fifth generation of Cargils can keep farming. Nathalie Jimenez @BBC: bbc.in/4hfBIA7

Conservative Build Ohio First wants "all the above" Ohio energy including gas, nuclear, wind and solar. @AnnaStaver @clevelanddotcom: bit.ly/4z08T0p
Gas accelerates climate change, nuclear creates radioactive waste.
Wind, solar allow humans to exist after year 2100.

Trump did this
@SenJonHusted enabled it.

GOOD 👏 Data center companies that ignore air pollution regulations and install unpermitted gas generators should face consequences for their lawlessness! arstechnica.com/tech-policy/…

A former environmental scientist who responded to the 2023 Ohio train derailment said the contractor she worked for took steps to conceal contamination. The testing company denies the allegations. wsj.com/us-news/contractor-p…

Tech titans plea for @UN to regulate AI. @borenbears @AP: bit.ly/4iFQXTY
We plea, too. By overturning U.S. clean air, water protections during a global climate crisis and starting reckless Iran War, Trump shows he lacks judgment necessary in a world leader.

Hedging our bets on the midterms, are we?
FirstEnergy reports it gave $50K to DGA in May. It's the first corporate contribution to a political 527 group by FirstEnergy since 2020, when prosecutors revealed FirstEnergy paid $60 million in bribes to now-convicted former Republican Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder

New piece by @Kris_Maher @WSJ is worth a read. He has new disclosures from the East Palestine chemical spill and fires disaster.
It is simply the worst disaster response I have ever witnessed firsthand. An alarming number of bad decisions by officials who were paid by taxpayers to act in the public’s interest… and did not.
The consequence: harm to people, business, and environment.

2,972 days without a town hall!
One of the candidates that declined to attend is, of course, @RepBalderson. It will be his 2,972nd day in office without a town hall.
I'll be there. All are welcome - Democrats, Republicans, Libertarians, and Independents.

There's much to talk about in Ohio-- from data centers to the corruption that enables pollution of our air, water and public lands.

Natural gas powering @Meta's New Albany 1,150 MW Prometheus data center will come from Ohio public lands in Ohio's Appalachia.
If Google can power a data center on renewable energy, why can't Meta? Opinion. @ccbecker271 @DispatchAlerts: bit.ly/4rm7pLf

Today, we launched the Planetary Health Check 2026. Seven of nine Planetary Boundaries are transgressed, and pressure on all seven is at its highest recorded level.
Yet, we still have a window to change course. But we need to move fast.
