For the first time ever, from April 2025 to April 2026, solar energy outproduced ‘natural gas’ in Asia. First coal, now ‘natural gas’… the fossil fuel dominos are falling… and they said it cant be done…

This is HUGE: In 2025, renewables were the LARGEST source of global energy supply growth, with solar delivering 71% of that rise. The energy system is tilting towards clean power. Now governments need to double down and turn this surge into a real break‑up with fossil fuels.

Moldmap is live on Product Hunt. I’m proud to be building this app. We’re still early, but we’re working toward an ambitious goal: helping people find healthier places to live, stay, and travel. Your feedback would help us out. #BuildInPublic #Travel #PublicHealth

Happy Solstice from UP North!

I just put away the snow shovels, so I take full responsibility for the snowstorm tomorrow #906Life

A modern wind turbine offsets its entire lifecycle CO₂ footprint in 5–12 months. Financial payback is often around 6–12 years onshore & 10–15 years offshore, with operating lives of 20–30+ years. For wind, the carbon mortgage is usually measured in months. The carbon savings are measured in decades.

I just launched my first public mobile app! Moldmap is a community-based platform to help people find healthier places to live and stay. Try a Quick Report and let us know how your air feels. Available for iOS and Android.

"Something remarkable happened in April. For the first time in history, wind and solar generated more electricity than gas across the entire planet. Not in a country. Not in a region. Globally." Tons of great news here from Danny Kennedy (via @billmckibben.bsky.social's newsletter, which rules).

Moldmap is now on Bluesky! We’re building tools to help people find healthier places to stay and live, using community observations, environmental data, and statistical insights for hotels, rentals, and apartments. Follow along as we build: moldmap.io #HealthyTravel #MoldAwareness #IndoorAir

President of MIT not mincing words today in @statnews.com www.statnews.com/2026/05/27/s...

I got 2nd place in my 24 hour race in the Keweenaw! It was a tough one. Falling on my knee slowed me down. Heavy rain and fog overnight made lots of folks quit early. I gritted it out and ran the whole time. And I ate 9 donuts, a new PR for me. #RunningPunks #906Life

I’m in the beautiful Keweenaw Peninsula for a 24 hour race tomorrow! It’s gonna be cold and wet but I’m not worried about how far I go. My goals: - keep going for all 24 hours - eat at least 6 donuts #RunningPunks #906Life

For years, the biggest criticism of renewables was simple: “What happens when the sun isn’t shining?” The answer is increasingly: battery storage. 24/7 solar power is no longer theoretical. In some places, it is becoming economic reality.

The largest non-colonial invertebrate known to us- 'At approximately 19m in length, it’s not only the largest octopus that ever lived, but perhaps the largest underwater predator from the Late Cretaceous.' #octopus #fossil #paleontology #cephalpod #nature #deepsea

Our “mountain” trails are runnable again! I ran 23 km on the trails by Lake Superior. I felt strong going in, but there’s nothing like running over mountains to make you feel weak. #RunningPunks

Hey friends! Did you hear? Solar and wind with batteries are now cheaper than fossil fuels in some places! Firm solar costs are as low as $54/MWh. Looks like the sun and wind are winning! 🌞💨 Check it out: https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/05/06/firm-solar-and-storage-costs-fall-to-54-mwh-says-irena/

“Oh no, not again” -4 year old seeing snow this morning Hoping it’s our last bit of snow this season 🤞 #906Life #PureMichigan

I ran an ultramarathon today! 50 km on early season trails: snow, ice, down timber, flooded rivers. It was hard going, but I feel ready for my 24 hour race next month. #RunningPunks #906Life #SISU

Trail season begins in the UP! There’s still a lot of snow and even more mud, but we got a solid 20k on trails today. It’s so much harder and more fun than the flat stuff #RunningPunks #906Life

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.

Happy Earth Day from Lake Superior! The Big Lake is one of my favorite places on this special planet. I went for a 25 km run on her shores today and got this nice shot of a flooded river flowing into Superior. #RunningPunks #906Life #PureMichigan

Our snow is melting off and it will soon be trail season in the UP! Saw these river rapid in a part of the run that is usually dry, but flooded in the thaw. 17 km run today searching for dry trails. #RunningPunks #906Life #PureMichigan

I shaved off the winter beard and kept a mustache for the day to celebrate the beginning of Spring. Ran a marathon in the sunshine as an extra celebration. The trails are still very snowy, so it was a mix of snow and pavement running today. #RunningPunks #906Life

In the Midwest, we say you’ve *Made It* when you can buy name brand Ranch. I’m proud to announce that, as of this moment, I have MADE IT!

How about some #TrailCamTuesday Three species in one video. Not a combination that you see every day.

Sunrise Run along Lake Superior this morning. 22km fun run with friends today #RunningPunks

"Eighty-five countries have sought a roadmap to phasing out fossil fuels. A conference this month offers hope they could unite," write Mark Hertsgaard and Kyle Pope of @coveringclimatenow.org

Some good news. 73,000 acres in a remote stretch of the Upper Peninsula’s Huron Mountains are now permanently protected from future development and open for public recreation. www.mlive.com/environment/... #906Life #PureMichigan

Rooftop solar has come out of nowhere and is now 20% of Puerto Rico's energy generation mix -- more than natural gas.

It was pouring down rain for my run today! I ran 25 km and didn’t see another person willing to get soaked on the trail. Lots of pretty birds, though I took a picture of the Missouri River on the run, but couldn’t take my phone out of the ziplock bag #RunningPunks

In 2025, more power was generated worldwide from renewable energy than from coal, and 91% of new renewables are now cheaper than fossil fuels. Each year nuclear adds only as much net global power capacity as renewables add every two days.

Today was my longest run of the year: 20 trail miles It was my first run without snow since November (I left the North for a bit). #RunningPunks

I made it to 3 years of daily running! Celebrated with a snowy 25 km run along the Escanaba River. #RunningPunks #NoOffDays

I’ve run 20 miles on the treadmill in two days. Ugh! I miss the trails! This snowy winter will make Spring even sweeter when it arrives. #RunningPunks #Dreadmill

Equinox Run on Lake Superior today. We ran 10 miles through snow and sleet. Happy Spring Everyone! #RunningPunks

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

I ran 28km today. My longest ever treadmill run. I was stuck inside because we’re in a historic blizzard: over 3 ft of snow so far! But at least I got to eat cupcakes for running fuel. #RunningPunks #906Life

Historic Blizzard coming to the UP! Up to 4 feet of snow in the highlands, where we live! I've never seen 3 inches of snow per hour. It's gonna be wild. Stay safe Yoopers! #906Life #WinterUPNorth

Though it may surprise East Coasters, the story of this winter was not record cold but record heat

On this day, in 1933, Frances Perkins was appointed by President Roosevelt as the first female cabinet member and served as Secretary of Labor. During Women's History Month, and every month, we honor the many women who have made significant contributions to our country. #WomensHistoryMonth

The sun came out and I went for a 20km run along Lake Superior today 😎. Those giant piles of ice in the Lake are from ice gathering in the currents. Piles of lake ice! #RunningPunks

No biggy, just a couple of polar bears out my window smelling the flowers [you can see the very strong fence between us].

You are what you breathe. Humans evolved in an atmosphere containing roughly 280–300 ppm of CO₂. We're now at 420 ppm which increases bicarbonate levels and decreased blood phosphorus and calcium. The effect is small...for now. phys.org/news/2026-02...

I’ve been working with data for about 20 years and I wish I’d learned these tips when I was a PhD student. A few simple changes to how you store your data can save you hours later. Future you will be thankful you read this post. Anyone else learn this the hard way?
