This is how “affordability” gets used to increase all the externalities (costs to consumers) under the guise of adding “supply”…

Failure to include mandatory batteries in the standard for new UK homes would be a massive climb down by Labour govt - caving into pressure from large housebuilders Again Climbdown would be to detriment of the homeowners, the electricity grid, & public interest www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Thing about this post is I cannot imagine any image more appropriate for our times—a “flex” on cruelty that actually looks like a gas guzzler ran out of fuel in time to get drown by the rising tide of climate change.

@danpfeiffer.bsky.social and the @podsaveamerica.crooked.com (crooked) crew: the “new year’s resolution” episode was once again both hilarious and entertaining. Of note, the @bsky.app hate was palpable. I get it but my bottom line (and I hope this resonates)—the climate science community went here

Solar didn’t just shine in 2025 — it shutdown all of the naysayers. Costs collapsed. Deployment exploded. Markets shifted gears. That’s not a trend — that’s transformation. Years of progress. Years of scale. No shortcuts. No flash. While others exposed their shortcomings, solar forged ahead.

We have the technologies we need to cut pollution from the industrial sector. In our new report, we take a deep dive into an immediate, practical opportunity: electrifying low- and medium-temperature process heat in manufacturing food, beverage, paper and chemicals. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I think what that’s called is cowardice. And lunacy….nothing like selling out a company for favors all while cutting off a global consumer base wanting what your canceling. Morons.

Great scene at the Crystal Ballroom last night for the third annual ‘Let’s Rock Cancer’ benefit for Dana Farber. Big thanks to Brad, @smoorearch.bsky.social, Rich, and Rick for the chance to join them onstage and make some music.

@profgalloway.com curious what your thoughts are on your advocacy for national service (and if memory serves you couple that with advocacy for a “gap year” for post HS seniors) w/an expansion on the GI Bill model for said service for post gap-year college.

Here’s how I measure “leadership”… “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, 'Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.'” Fred Rogers

And a fucking war criminal.

Music with a mission. Let’s Rock Cancer! supports Dana-Farber’s Cancer Care Equity Program, led by Dr. Christopher Lathan, working to close the gap in cancer outcomes for marginalized communities. If you can’t attend the show, you can still help: gofund.me/7170fabef

As the single most important news story this year, I can't wait to see the detailed and central coverage this will get in every media outlet we have

So that’s how it works? A short timer on the FF dole get to upset a global apple cart? Do better world…do better.

After a few weeks of conference photo ops, I’m reminded how exceptional our photographer was for last year’s Let’s Rock Cancer. Huge thanks to Ana Reyes for capturing every electric moment under impossible lighting. 📸 www.anamreyesphoto.com #Photography #EventPhotography #LetsRockCancer

I might suggest the next democratic president turn the “ballroom” into a warming shelter and soup kitchen. And demand that any donor, congressperson etc, may only gain a meeting of they commit at least one-hour of service at the newly designated Department of Human Decency.

As an architect, I can’t ignore the numbers behind the proposed White House “ballroom.” 90,000 sq ft. $300 million. That’s $3,333 per square foot — roughly triple what even high-security federal buildings cost. ⬇️🧵

Trump might as well hand China a pile of money on a silver platter. https://www.cnn.com/2025/10/15/business/trump-ev-retreat-china-nightcap

Take a few minutes to actually read the Declaration of Independence today. It's unsettling how much of it resonates with what's going on today. www.archives.gov/founding-doc...

Given that I won’t be in Boston this weekend, I'm instead attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS Litchfield” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Just naked and brazen corruption. All states represented by Democrats in the Senate. Time to stiffen our spines and demand that we only fund a government that obeys the law.

breaking from me: the trump administration just suffered its first major loss in court over its onslaught on offshore wind the revolution wind project can now resume construction after a federal judge found its developer orsted was likely to win against the trump order to stop work @heatmap.news

Let’s all remember…that order won’t stop the deluge of YouTube uploads showing reactions. And where do lost people get their media these days?

She I think of the latter days of the Bill Belichick era in New England, I will think of the fact he let NFL starting offensive depth WALK out the door and left the cupboard so bare it was getting Brady and then his replacements killed.

A recent study shows that people are able to perceive biodiversity through sights & sounds, and those perceptions correlate with the actual biodiversity of a natural place. The study adds to a growing body of research on biodiversity perception & its connections to human mental health & well-being.

🪸Not all corals are created equal. As warming waters and pollution stress reef ecosystems, WHOI researchers are searching for #SuperReefs that can withstand heat and help improve conservation & restoration practices. 🤿 Dive in with @mongabay.com: go.whoi.edu/superreefs-mb

I tell ya what….call it whatever you want, “War” or “Defense” so forth. What I’d love to see is a true understanding what the difference of those terms really mean and act with deliberation that doesn’t lead to a decision making process that leads to lots of dead poor people steered into service.

Recommended read: In an interview with @lemonde.fr, the French economist Thomas Piketty argued that protecting the planet from climate change requires wealth redistribution.

Two new papers find renewables are good insurance (they stabilize electricity price volatility in welfare improving ways) www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🔌💡

After 60 years of trying to electrify populations with fossil fuels, people finally figured out there was a much better way. One with less corruption. Electricity poverty is real and clean energy is now at scale to solve it. This will unleash human flourishing.

But what about the bear population?

Deaths, illness from air pollution related to gas and oil hit people of color hardest, study finds

I’ll assume the official criminalization of #homelessness is underway….”see you in El Salvador!”

I’m sure nothing bad will happen….

Can we “hazard” a guess how the entire COVID ordeal would have gone?

Huh, “peer reviewed”. I wonder what “peers” we are taking about? I’ll guess “scientist” is a term used loosely.

@whitehouse.senate.gov be sure you all fight like hell to stop this EPA madness. Just because they want to reverse a critical decision doesn’t mean you should let them nor does it mean the mission has changed at all what is required of us.

Why is this a “mutually exclusive” proposal?

An interest thought string here is exactly who comprises the “weak”…. I’d lay wager a heart helping of Dummie’s Voters may find themselves on the ass end of that deal.

Do people still watch CBS? I say leave these capitulate legacy media venues to rot. #fuckem

A sound use of funds in light of the “sound use of funds” exercise we where fed lines from DOGE and Congress about. #aces

Again….solar and wind are fastest to the grid (we can cover the transmission grind elsewhere). It’s why it will win the day in the end.

The great champion of the arts that she is…

Oh? Evidence, no. Proof, yes. Annnnnd it’s all in some files? Files you have? Files you will release, I assume. Mmmm…files.
