If you are in Nova Scotia and are over 50, the health authority mails you a free test every two years. But fewer than half the people who receive the kits return them. It's a great program. Just do the test and mail it back.

This is important to keep in mind when we do things such as increasing SO2 limits to allow for dirtier coal to be burned to reduce electricity rates. Just because health care costs aren’t on our power bills doesn’t mean they aren’t there.

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.

One thing 2025 made clear: Durable progress on climate in the US will require structural reform to our corrupted political systems. Otherwise, steps forward will always be vulnerable to the bloody clawbacks we saw this year. A political strategy that doesn't center system reform is not "pragmatic."

Cool to see the cable-laying ship on the hudson for the CHPE project yesterday from the train I was on. The project is a big transmission cable that will bring over 1,000 mw of hydropower from Canada to NYC. (That’s a lot!) It’ll lower utility bills, create jobs and slash pollution.
