We are establishing a clear definition of agrivoltaics. What does that mean? It means protecting farmers who want to use their land for clean energy generation while prioritizing their agricultural productivity. Virginia is a national leader in guiding us into our energy future — and in finding solutions that work.

In Kibwezi, Makueni County, the Jewish National Fund’s Kasser Joint Institute Jewish National Fund-USA has introduced agrivoltaics — a smart farming approach that combines solar energy and agriculture on the same land, allowing farmers to grow crops while generating clean energy. What began as a research project has now grown into a learning hub for local farmers, demonstrating how Israeli innovation leads to more sustainable, climate-smart agribusiness. Farmers are improving their yields, reducing costs, and building more resilient livelihoods for the future. #Innovation #Agriculture #Sustainability #IsraelKenya #MASHAV #ClimateSmartagriculture

Detroit is transforming 104 acres of vacant and blighted land into solar arrays generating enough renewable energy to power 127 municipal buildings. All three neighborhoods have 100% resident approval and were integral in the design and landscape of the project in their neighborhoods. Together, we are demonstrating how Detroit can lead in clean energy while prioritizing community-driven solutions that benefit all residents.

Today, Julia and I are suspending our campaign and endorsing Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins for Governor of Alaska. More than 34,000 Alaskans put their trust in us, and thousands more gave their time, energy, and support to this campaign. We will never forget that. What we built together does not end here. The work continues, and so does our commitment to building a better future, made in Alaska. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in us and for being part of this campaign.

We are at a cross-roads for our planet and our future. 💚🌏 A future of sustainable economies and societies. A future of clean energy, innovation, less pollution and better health. The 2025 national climate action plans (NDCs) must lock in that ambition.

Virginia Gov.-elect Abigail Spanberger said rising energy costs in the state are not primarily driven by the growth of AI data centers, despite Virginia’s having the world’s largest concentration of them. She tells Margaret Brennan Virginia faces a future energy challenge and emphasizes the need for large-scale energy users to pay their fair share, while boosting local energy production to meet growing demand. "There's, you know, some bad energy policies in some of our neighboring states that have driven up prices," Spanberger said. “We have to be clear-eyed about the fact we will have an energy crisis headed into the future.”

Mamdani: We want to make it clear that our city does not simply oppose the actions of ICE, but that we are not going to be complicit with those actions either. And that means making sure that every single city agency is in compliance with our sanctuary city policies. Now, if you don’t know what a sanctuary city policy is, I’ll describe it this way: it means that we do not allow ICE agents into our schools, our hospitals, our city property unless they can provide a judicial warrant signed by a judge. It means that we don’t assist ICE with their civil immigration enforcement. It means that we make clear that we are proud of our heritage as an immigrant city.

Our neighbors are doing all the right things to make their coffee work for their country & benefit their farmers. Here we are using coffee as an excuse to take money out of the national treasury for personal gain. A false promise that is simply a scam. We must take matters into our hands. No one is coming to save us

We do not have to choose – whether we strike a military target or energy. He sells this energy. He sells oil. So is it energy, or is it a military target? Honestly, it’s the same thing. He sells oil, takes the money, invests it in weapons. And with those weapons, he kills Ukrainians. What is a Ukrainian supposed to do? There are two ways. We either build weapons and strike their weapons. Or we strike the source where their money is generated and multiplied. And that source is their energy sector. That is what is happening. All of this is a legitimate target for us. And who else could have done this to the Russians before us? No one.

‼️ All Americans *need* to understand the Durham Report's dire implications for their democracy: Glenn Greenwald: "The most dangerous development of all in the US is that the Security State is fully liberated... to use their investigative powers to manipulate our politics, control the outcome of our elections, and destroy any political leader that gets in their way... We really are a democracy in name only—that IS the definition of a Deep State, a permanent power faction that operates in the dark and with no constraints."

WOW! A massive anti-American, anti-Trump protest is taking place in Greenland. Listen to these words of native Greenlanders: “We are here because we love our land, our ancestors land. We are here because we love our children, our elders, our homes, our language in our future. We are here to say it clearly: we decide for our land. We will decide for our land and we will decide who we are and where we are going. No foreign government will ever define that for us. We stand here today because we know unity is their strength. When we stand as one, no power on earth, can erase us? Not anymore. Our ancestors carried us through centuries of blizzards and storms. We carry their courage today and we carry the responsibility to make our children inherent a future that is free, proud and self-determined.”

At President Trump’s inauguration, he declared an “energy emergency” to try and justify his damaging actions to roll back clean energy and climate protections. It’s dangerous, and it weakens America’s energy leadership and progress towards a net-zero future. The next generation deserves a President who understands the stakes of climate change and the benefits of embracing a clean energy economy - and puts their future first.

The American people were heard loud and clear on Election Day. They want their government to work for THEM. It’s sad to see that in the final weeks of a Democrat Senate majority, Leader Chuck Schumer is prioritizing liberal judges over the more pressing issues Americans want us to tackle.

VIVEK RAMASWAMY: “So what does it mean to be an American in the year 2026? It means we still believe in those ideals of 1776. It means we believe that all men are created equal. It means that we believe that our rights are given to us by God, not by our government. It means that we, the people, create a government that is accountable to us, rather than the other way around…” Vivek Ramaswamy live at the This Is the Turning Point Tour
