"Across the West, farsighted local governments have begun preserving & connecting habitats through unsexy regulatory tools such as zoning, land-use codes, & comprehensive plans." For @biographic.bsky.social, I wrote about planning (don't yawn!) for conservation. www.biographic.com/living-in-th...

@thompsonscribe.bsky.social cooking with this one

I don't think any NBA player will have a more interesting post retirement all time ranking/legacy debate than Draymond Green.

My big takeaway from reporting this story is that it's not JUST about the Forest Service. The closure of these stations threatens to upend a delicate system of mutually beneficial collaboration and resource sharing, and the impacts will ripple out far beyond the Forest Service itself.

Great episode. Jigar only got into it briefly but it really does seem to me (and maybe it's because I'm way deep in IRP/RTO world) that ELCC is a bit of a conceptual skeleton key that a lot of clean energy advocates need to learn a lot more about fast.

Getting primary election day off rules because I can just early vote which I was going to do anyways and then take a vacation during that week.

Music was better when the musicians were on acid.

Anyone interested in this topic should really try to find a copy of Powerline by Paul Wellstone and Barry Casper. This kind of industrial sabotage of unwanted energy infrastructure has a long history.

In a first last month, renewables supplied more power to the U.S. than natural gas, a milestone in the shift to clean energy.

Tbh helmets are more important for style and aerodynamics than for safety.

Winning on a neutral bike would have been maximum aura

Assuming a 300 watt rider average, and a 2MW nameplate capacity on one of the paris-roubaix wind turbines, youre looking at several thousand riders to hit the output of one turbine. wind turbines really are pretty incredible machines!

Today would have been a good day for a women's Paris-Roubaix

Lots of incredibly smart talented people worked on the Artemis mission, lots of them probably could have made a lot more money in the private sector. We can still do big and rad things.

Few feelings more empowering than "there was water coming out of this valve in ways that should not have happened, but no longer"

This story was long-coming, and I learned so much from the experts who offered their time to talk about the ins and outs of America's bedrock environmental law, and to envision what revitalizing NEPA would require. Thanks to @prospect.org for including in their April issue alongside the very best.

Poor DEI Kevin Love.

Not getting on the buying an EV train. Not because I don't think they're rad but because I already drive so little that the payback time in both financial and emissions terms (compared to my decently efficient 4cyl rav4) is just super long.

This is really an incredible tool. Great work by everyone involved.

This #TransDayOfVisibility, we’re highlighting our favorite queer ecology reads. These books, essays, and memoirs break down binaries and explore the expansiveness of gender & identity in nature.

Roughly... CA average driver - MPG = 29 mpg - Miles per year = 12,524 - Gallons used = 432 - Price per gallon this week = $5.87 - Annual fuel cost = $2,535 USA average driver - MPG = 23 - Miles per year 14,263 - Gallons used = 620 - Price per gallon this week = $3.99 - Annual fuel cost = $2,474

If your electricity bill is going up, it's probably not because of data centers.

This war is just Anthony Davis injury recovery but with more bombs.

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy

Few things bring more extreme petty energy these days than riding a bike past a gas station that's over $4/gallon and was $2.70 earlier this year

Still accurate

Sounds like the biggest issue is bad transmission linkage to the broader CAISO market causing the need to contract with NV in the first place? Will be interesting to see how this resolves. New PPA is only as useful as the deliverability of those MWs

Pretty sure I was in the group chat shit posting about Rudy Gobert and the nba shutdown.

My hot take: Paul Pierce is closer to Kobe Bryant than Kobe is to Michael Jordan.

People don't realize how kickass snowbird days (cold and clear) are for solar performance. Panel temperature is a big deal!

I've been doing the riding bikes in lycra thing for a decade. The kind of attitude I often hear utility cyclists assign to roadies? I have never encountered it. Across three cities and multiple online bike-focused communities. Feels like the lycra snob is kind of a fake boogeyman.
