The big difference is that solar+battery is fit and forget. Once it's installed, whether from China or anywhere else, it's yours and you are independent. No more payments to anyone. With fossil fuels you're an addict, dependent on your dealer who can make you dance to their tune.

What an interesting thread. France went all in on nuclear power plants, which are now being displaced by cheaper wind and solar. Ramping nuke plants up/down and turning them on/off puts unexpected wear and tear on pumps, valves, pipes, etc., raising maintenance costs and shortening equipment lives.

"This is the hard truth I want to land: climate does not care what’s trending. It’s not interested in Jeffrey Epstein, Gaza, or Greenland. There is no algorithmic mercy. Physics is physics, and it is getting more abrupt." #climatecrisis #ElNino #auspol www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/we-are-...

I hate the word pivot but I love this concept for our beloved #CanadaPost

Now we have two additional pieces of evidence. First, there's the notable fact that US elites *abandoned climate change & diversity, wholesale, with barely a peep of protest, after one election went the other way*. Not how you act when you're deeply committed!

I always found this ridiculous, but they could point to various statements & initiatives, and I was kind of left saying, "no, that's not what real commitment looks like. That looks like minimal rhetorical effort to avoid criticism." But now! ...

An observation I've been thinking about: Around 2020, we were told that US political & corporate elites had been gripped by "wokeness" & thus become obsessed with climate change & diversity. This wokeness was alleged to be so severe & monomaniacal that it threatened the entire culture & economy.

This is pretty cool. Is it an example of @jlappen1.bsky.social and @gruberte.bsky.social's "minimum viable scale" frame? Did Norway hit a virtuous cycle of fewer gas cars -> gas stations close due to low demand -> gas cars get more annoying to fuel -> fewer gas cars -> ... ?

Under the Trump EPA - enforcement action against polluters has plummeted... via @insideclimatenews.org by Kiley Price, Marianne Lavelle insideclimatenews.org/news/0502202...

Worthwhile thread; a climate / AI connection that is new to me.

"Trump has abandoned the rules-based order America helped usher in after 1945 that relied on multilateral agreements & institutions, that even though the United States was the hegemonic power, I mean nobody could deny that but at the same time, we at least had a fig leaf that our issues mattered."

@calgaryclimatehub.ca Gosh, if you have ANY ideas. I'm fresh out. #sarcasm #ClimateChange

Goodness. Whatever could it be? #ClimateChange

The weather has been a bit weird across the U.S. this winter. Historic amounts of snow fell in the Carolinas, iguanas were stunned by freezing cold in Florida and would-be skiers were looking at dirt on Utah’s slopes. Here’s what’s going on, and when it will finally end.

"Single-stair buildings allow for more varied unit layouts, since the apartments can be arranged more freely around a central staircase. That flexibility could make it easier to build more family-friendly three- and four-bedroom units." www.vox.com/housing/4101...

Insurance industry experts are warning of a 1 in 20 chance of almost 2 metres of sea level rise by 2100, with 0.3 to 1 metre assessed as highly likely. It’s really rough on the local communities there but there seems no choice but to retreat. axa-research.org/get-research...

In the end, when it comes to a court of law and findings of facts, there is really no argument against forcing the polluters to clean up their mess. When I was seven I didn’t want to clean up my room but I was forced to by a higher authority. The mess has been made and we know who is responsible.

When it comes to climate, no more counterproductive "permitting reform" B.S. that's obeisant to energy & tech industry demands for ever more extraction & exploitation. We're "at work in the ruins." And that means we must chart a course to the emergent horizons. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hh5...

Solar and numerous crops are complements and I am tiring of FUD indicating otherwise as the peer reviewed experimental evidence piles up. #EnergySky

This First Nation has the vision and many skills to create an Indigenous values-based energy strategy! Land Back!

BIG NEWS! Our new city-wide Plan for Langford, BC is a FINALIST for the Canadian Institute of Planners AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE! I love the message this recognition sends— you don’t need a big city & a big budget to create cutting-edge planning for a better city. We showed a better way in a small city.

Absolutely insane to block the cheapest, cleanest, and quickest form of power as electricity demand soars. Trump policies are hurting consumers, companies, & communities

@antoniajuhasz.bsky.social had a brilliant pod appearance where she patiently explained that oil company “reluctance” to go into Venezuela was likely greenwashing — but I can’t find it because the search function on @bsky.app is awful. ( @support.bsky.team can you fix?)
