It's important that Washington state works with our partners around the world, especially given our challenges at the federal level. That's not a political statement — that's a factual statement. We as a state value our partnerships and want that to continue.

This weekend, we celebrated Puget Soundkeeper's work to keep the Puget Sound clean. Thanks for being a strong partner in enforcing laws around clean water and getting trash out of our waterways. It was wonderful to see some of the next generation from Auburn High School...

We've been working hard to expand passenger rail in Wisconsin and ensure folks have the connected, 21st-century transportation infrastructure they need and deserve. This is great news for our state. www.gmtoday.com/the_freeman/...

Families need lower electric bills. Our grid needs more power. Massachusetts workers need these jobs. So why is Donald Trump trying to block offshore wind projects that can help deliver all three? Reversing this approval makes no sense.

bostonglobe.comTrump administration wants to reconsider permit for Massachusetts offshore wind project - The Boston GlobeThe Justice Department said in a filing Tuesday the court should remand the permit, sending it back to Interior, because the plan was approved despite major adverse impacts.

Last week, we brought together officials from across our coalition in Wilmington, Delaware to share & advance climate solutions. Together, despite headwinds, these states & territories are hard at work defending America’s climate progress.

Clean energy is economic power. Clean energy is national security. China is dominating the global EV market. America needs to compete.  California is showing that building a cleaner future AND a stronger economy is possible.

• $16 Billion in utility bill relief • $886 Million in electricity bill credits this year alone • $37 Billion reinvested in CA communities • 23,000 megawatts of battery storage strengthening the grid The Golden State is showing it’s possible to protect the environment AND make life more affordable

NEW: CA’s grid handled its highest electricity demand in 4 years — without emergency measures or conservation calls 50,335 megawatts. Extreme heat. And the lights stayed on. While states like TX face major grid failures, CA’s clean energy investments are delivering a stronger, more resilient grid!

Last month, California's power grid supported the highest electricity demand since 2022 without any emergency measures. That was no accident — the Golden State is proving that clean energy and battery storage systems are the best ways to keep the lights on.

In 2006, California’s governor signed the state’s first greenhouse gas reduction goal. 20 years later, the state is continuing its climate leadership under @governor.ca.gov Newsom. Learn more from @airresources.bsky.social ⬇️

NEW: @calvolunteers.bsky.social Service Corps just swore in 10,000+ NEW members. I established this program in 2019 to help young leaders serve in roles that address pressing issues in our state, from disaster and climate response to student mentoring and distributing food to those in need.

Great to be in Roxana at Wood River Refinery, celebrating the sustainable aviation fuel industry putting down roots here in Illinois. We're building a faster-growing, cleaner energy economy — creating new opportunities for farmers, producers, manufacturers, airlines, and more.

5 years in, the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA) is delivering benefits across the Illinois, including supporting 14 workforce hubs to train & certify workers for clean energy jobs, 90k+ solar projects, & much more. Learn more from @govpritzker.illinois.gov ⬇️

Governor JB Pritzker@govpritzker.illinois.gov

Today marks the fifth anniversary of our nation-leading legislation, CEJA. A greener future shouldn't come at Illinoisans' expense. My administration will continue to prioritize climate equality and sustainability without sacrificing job creation or raising costs.

💪 Alliance states showed up in force last week at #ClimateWeekNYC! From California to New Jersey, Alliance governors & top state officials showcased the best of climate action happening across the United States.

I just signed legislation to protect California's coast from expanded offshore oil drilling and to expand access to public parks and outdoor spaces. While Donald Trump tries to throw America's public lands away to private developers, California is doing the exact opposite.

“What a dream team we have of U.S. governors who are really working with us to confront the two crises at the same time.” @governor.ny.gov at #ClimateWeekNYC on how states are building strategies to meet growing power needs while protecting residents from climate impacts.

Colorado’s farmers and ranchers help feed our communities and care for the land we love. With $13.7 million in new funding, more producers can strengthen operations, improve soil and water health, reduce erosion, and reach new markets, helping protect Colorado’s working lands for the future for all.

Rolling back federal fuel economy standards means more pain at the pump & dirtier air. We will keep fighting to ensure Americans have access to cleaner and more efficient cars. Our statement on today’s federal action ⬇️

The New York Times@nytimes.com

The Trump administration plans to sharply scale back fuel-efficiency rules for new cars and light trucks, gutting one of the government’s most significant efforts to reduce gasoline consumption and speed the transition to electric vehicles in the U.S.

Illinois leads the nation in climate action while attracting businesses and creating jobs for a green economy. From 2018 to 2024, we more than doubled the amount of clean energy in the state.

It's true. A clean energy future isn't just good for the planet, it's good for our health, too. While the Trump Administration tries to set us back, here in Wisconsin, we aren't going to give up on building the clean energy future Wisconsinites deserve. www.wpr.org/news/epa-pow...

California's wildfire resilience work over the last five years has led to healthier forests, lower catastrophic fire risks, and more communities protected. With climate change making wildfires burn hotter and move faster we'll keep driving our progress forward across the state.

We’re investing in a stronger electric grid to give Coloradans lower-cost, more reliable energy. A $250 million grant will strengthen the Colorado-Texas connection, help us meet growing demand and keep power flowing during extreme weather while saving people money and building a more resilient grid.

Colorado is a national leader in EV purchases. New funds will add 270 fast-charging ports at 35 stations statewide, helping families from the Western Slope to the Eastern Plains switch to EVs, save money, and enjoy cleaner air.

Colorado is leading the way in expanding reliable, affordable geothermal energy. Two Colorado companies were selected by the U.S. Department of Energy to gather data that can expand next-generation geothermal energy, drive investment and help save Americans money.

California is PROOF that you don't have to sacrifice your economic future to transition to clean energy. We’ve seen 40% GDP growth since 2019. A reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by double digits. No jurisdiction in America has grown faster than California.

Productive meeting today with Australian Ambassador Greg Moriarty at #ClimateWeekNYC. We're excited to build on the remarkable progress California and Australia have made together through our 2023 MOU — from energy security and affordability to climate resilience and battery storage.

Today, I signed an MOU between California and Finland to deepen our economic partnership and expand collaboration. California greatly values our partners across the globe and proudly works together to drive innovation, create opportunity, and build a sustainable, green economy.
