Wind and solar cost LESS

Electricity bills would be higher without wind power. While electricity costs are largely determined by wholesale gas prices, wind is increasingly driving costs down. Figure from @eciu.net

Chris Murphy: "In a different era, maybe just asking for a minor adjustment in health care tax credit policy would be enough. But it’s not a normal time. If you don’t mount a stand right now on behalf of democracy, there won’t be another opportunity."

A ban on all new fossil fuel extraction is what Ed needs to announce (not finding loopholes to break pledges www.theguardian.com/business/202...), and no airport expansions... but the latter have been announced for both Gatwick and Heathrow (among other things)

Some say it's to protect Trump from the Epstein Files. Others say it's just because freaky Mike Johnson wants to get to the Riyadh Comedy Festival.

His parents named him successfully for the future

I wasn't offered any money to appear at The Riyadh Comedy Fest, they just told me it would be really good exposure.

So offensive to war zones

The white cloud here is water vapor condensing out of the air as the (invisible) pressurized methane in the pipeline expands and cools. Methane leaks (and intentional venting) happen all the time. They make natural gas far worse for climate than it appears when looking only at CO2 from combustion.

I have just learned what a medbed is and I want to lock everyone who believes in it in a room and not let them out until they’ve been forced to sit through at least an undergrad biology degree

Kids these days don't even really get chicken pox.

Carmi would be proud.

The anti-trans resolution that roiled one of Manhattan's public school parent councils for the last year and a half has finally been rescinded. Does that mean the District 2 council has put messy factional politics behind it? Nah.

Time to send in your public comment if you’d like the Forest Service to serve the health of forests — not just funnel our giant trees into the timber industry and turn forests into barren wasteland plantations.

This is why -- before Trump -- I trusted the EPA over Louisiana state agencies when it came to primacy contests for environmental regulation. Now, it's hard to trust either one. www.nola.com/news/environ...

All you have to do is *listen* to trans people and see the joy and freedom transitioning has brought to them, even in the face of society’s evil hate, to know that we should support and fight for their right to transition with every fiber of our being.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

I just sent a message to Trump's EPA demanding that they not delay the federal methane rule. Will you join me? Methane is a potent greenhouse gas & this dangerous move benefits polluters over our families' health & safety. TAKE ACTION with @momscleanairforce.org #CutMethane app.sosha.ai/s/RK7AV7cY

Farmers, don’t be fooled.

imagine a world where politicians said stuff like this about trans health care, too. coz they totally could, from a science perspective

Someone explain to me why this isn't going to doom the whole process when they get sued for not following the APA and other relevant legislation? Is this all just performative? Or don't they have any lawyers on staff any more?

Autism was first diagnosed in 1943. George Lucas was born in 1944. Tylenol was invented in 1955. Obviously an 11 year old George used the Delorean in 1955 to time travel and give his mom a full bottle so he could create Star Wars.
