(Clap emoji) abundance requires competitive markets and state capacity

“Since 2018, Kenya, Yemen, Sri Lanka, and Tanzania have imported an amount of Chinese solar equal to roughly half the capacity of their entire power grid. Namibia, Senegal, Cambodia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, meanwhile, have each imported more than their entire grid capacity.”

absolutely wild how much ebooks are the primary way people interact with certain books at the LAPL. 170 people waiting for the digital copy of the new evan osnos, 3 physical copies that you can check out IRL

I feel like I've said this before, and maybe I should write something about it, but you see in comments like this that the way that the abuses of the urban freeway era were really about cars in addition to class/racial power dynamics has been forgotten. The road-and-car part matters! A lot!
