We should build dense enough housing that urban pneumatic burrito delivery systems should scale

A proposal to build an open-pit cyanide heap leach gold mine at Hot Creek near Mammoth Lakes is back.

Huh. I just asked Tom Steyer the exact same question that got me tossed out of the Xavier Becerra town hall two weeks ago...and I got a substantive response. No security goons needed. "You come to the fastest warming county in the lower 48 states, do you have a climate plan?"

smokenasty today

Nooooo...... is the D failing to perform? Thirteen minutes after the race began, Kalayaan Mendoza from People for Mobility Justice is still waiting to take off!

Breaking: NextEra agreed to buy rival utility Dominion in a roughly $67 billion deal, one of the biggest of the year.

why humans legs so strong but feet so soft?

IMO if we insist on there being dramatically fewer congressional representatives than the population justifies then those representatives should have to not be missing or dead

Our new California editor will oversee four ProPublica reporters and a reporting fellow, in addition to working with local publishing partners. The role is now live: job-boards.greenhouse.io/propublica/j... 7/8

Of note: Bass tried to kill the budget for the climate emergency office (and delete the chief heat officer job from the city code) last year. City Council said no. Now this stuff is all happening behind closed doors.

I’VE WAITED SO LONG TO POST THIS OMG THANK YOU FREDWARD

The first Wilshire/La Cienega-bound @metrolosangeles.bsky.social D Line train arriving at Wilshire/Fairfax!! Woohoo!! 🚇🎉💜

"The unexpected boom in home batteries and the equally surprising surge in rooftop solar installations means that Australia’s target of 82 per cent renewables by 2030 – long dismissed as a lost cause by some – is now very much within reach."

Recorded this week at ACT Expo, it's yours truly (cringe) with Jo Borras on Quick Charge @electrek.co, talking @mobilityhouse.com V2G and V1G managed charging #energysky electrek.co/2026/05/08/r...

V2G Update! This technology is maturing at a critical moment where the cost of oil, and cost of electricity are both going to be turbulent for the foreseeable future. #energysky

$10.20 to go from 30 to 80% in the Equinox EV in Los Angeles 😎

One can address climate change by encouraging housing density, clean energy, and the development and use of transit — or one can address it by proposing a freeze on home insurance premiums. The latter approach, though, deserves calling out as fundamentally unserious.

Amazing to me that the Mayor of LA sent out an email update on her plans for climate action improving infrastructure and there's zero mention of bike or bus lanes, Measure HLA, first/last mile to Metro, or anything else that would actually help reduce VMT. Instead it's about EVs!

We learned yesterday the district would drag chains in canal to break up algae every few weeks in summer and since the canal, there’s no algae growth at all. Reduced operations and maintenance cost right there!

somehow have to watch playoff lakers + lafc while also staying abreast of the survivor situation

It’s alive! Welcome to the age of solar canals. 💧☀️🔌💡

Dependencies on Chinese cleantech are very different to relying on Russian gas, says Dr Michal Median "It's not a useful comparison," as one is stocks, the other flows But, says Median, Chinese dependency could still come with "significant" political and geopolitical trade offs

In hindsight, yachts were low key a wholesome thing for very rich people to spend their money on

Hold on. We the taxpayers are going to pay companies $900 million, which is more than 6x what we spend on wind power R&D, to NOT build wind power at a time when electricity prices are spiking and we need more clean power?

Why is the stock market shrugging off... everything? Well, maybe it's betting that AI will save it and that the government won't let AI fail. Call it the AI put. My new piece in NYT Opinion on the market's reliance on getting rescued: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/o...

What a great idea! Redwood Materials to deploy a "used battery" storage facility at Rivian vehicle factory. Every large industrial facility should have some battery storage - and better yet, make it used batteries. #energysky electrek.co/2026/04/14/r...

LAUSD strike still on for Tuesday despite tentative agreements with two of three unions. A shutdown would affect 390,000 students and 70,000 workers across Los Angeles Unified. www.latimes.com/california/s...

No agreement for SEIU Local 99 members yet. Educational workers are handing these flyers out in front of LAUSD schools. If no agreement is made today, all three unions would still strike in solidarity starting tomorrow
