Through focus groups in three California communities — Orange and Ventura counties, the Central Valley, and the Central Coast — Data for Progress and the Reliable Grid Project examined Californians’ attitudes on the growing battery storage industry in the state. This research identified low existing awareness of battery storage projects among Californians, and high variability in views of battery storage’s potential to address the California grid’s most pressing challenges.

AI (artificial intelligence) is a hot topic, especially in the climate community. We wanted to know what folks in the climate advocacy community are thinking, saying, and doing when it comes to AI. And to answer that question, we need your help. We’re preparing a landscape report on AI in the climate movement, and we want to hear from you!

New polling from Groundwork Collaborative and Data for Progress reveals Americans reject the Trump Administration’s plan to rely on voluntary commitments from corporate actors to lower household bills. While nearly 90% of Americans say the war on Iran will raise prices on essential items, 60% of voters also view energy demand generated by large commercial energy users as a key driver of rising electricity costs. This polling shows that Americans reject reliance on corporations to do the right thing: 60% of voters prefer public sector leadership on energy, saying the public sector should run both grid modernization (60%) and the utilities themselves (58%), as opposed to the private sector.

This 101 training is about helping folks start by locating themselves within the movement, to inform how they want to engage.

Clean Creatives has decoded the narrative shifts in fossil fuel campaigns between 2020 and 2024, detailing how narrative strategy in oil and gas companies’ advertising and PR campaigns has shifted. Their evidence documents how, between 2020 and 2024, oil and gas campaigns shifted from setting climate targets and saying “we’re part of the solution” to emphasizing fossil fuel dependence and convincing people “you can’t live without us.” In parallel, we saw shareholders follow suit and move from supporting climate action to prioritizing fossil fuel profitability. Oil majors have always been preoccupied with social license, but now, the fossil fuel industry is radicalizing. Companies like BP and Shell, which have a history of greenwashing and made net zero pledges in 2020. Now they are going all in on fossil fuels. They’re advertising false solutions like CCS, natural gas and biofuels, which increase fossil fuel dependence. Greenwashing is no longer the core strategy of the fossil fuel industry — it’s about power and political influence.
