Got it. I was just hoping to use Colgate’s intense alumni network pride to raise more money!!

Renewable energies overtook global electricity demand last year, led by solar growth in China, India-AP

How can you get your college (Colgate university, in my case) added? :)

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

1 yr ago I wrote a massive thread on @iea.org huge AI / energy report.

WELL it's one year later and they've released an update, but notably, there is no chatbot. Well....I'm going to read it anyway, and you're all going to get spammed with notes :)

that's means a NEW ULTRATHREAD 🧵

It was sooooo lovely! Would love to catch up one day soon!!!

View of a beautiful sunset with mountains in the distance, with a lone bird flapping it wings in silhouette and ocean in the foreground. Taken from a ferry in Greece on our way back to Athens.

Just came back from 10 days in Greece, where stunning views were all around and everyone was soooo kind to my kids (even the immigration folks were super sweet to them while checking their passports). Reminded me of how many great things there still are in the world. Things worth fighting to protect

View from top of mountain in Methana in Greece. People enjoying the view in the foreground, mountains, lush greenery and the ocean they are all looking at and enjoying

So I feel reenergized for the fights and the love needed to move us all forward to a better future. I hope you can do the same in small or big ways. Having a friend over for dinner or a grand adventure. Love to you all.

Things are bad in many ways, but they have been bad before. People can band together and fight for a better future and find joy in the now as well. This was a great filling up of joy for me. And sharing the adventure with my kids and husband made it even more joy filling.

How so? To me, weird it is even close given all the warning signals from the economy and risk for energy and other products with high amount fossil-based inputs.

A trade or actual war with China would not prevent India from using their previously purchased infrastructure like high voltage transmission wires unless there is some underlying software that China could use to shut it down (which seems easy to avoid).

But, those are not nearly the same sort of dependencies as regular, forever ongoing need for shipments of fossil fuels.

“India must not look toward escaping from one dependency only to walk into another,” warned Mr. Kant, the former think tank leader.” They are talking about the batteries, high transmission lines, etc needed to upgrade infrastructure to efficiently and least expensive shift to cleaner grid and energy

“Like many other countries, India is in a bind. While it wants to reduce its reliance on Middle Eastern oil, there is growing unease that overreliance on China could undermine economic and national security…

War Exposes Gaps in India’s Clean Energy Push

Correct me if I am wrong, the the closing lines act as though the ongoing dependence on fossil fuels is the same as near term dependence on China for the infrastructure to shift towards clean energy.

How Driving is Encouraged and Subsidized — By Law — Streetsblog USA Greg Shill, a law professor, attempted to itemize all the ways driving is legally favored in the U.S. Let's just say it's a long list.

“Driving is so hard-wired into American culture, life and institutions, that it’s hard to account for all the ways it is subsidized, preferenced or otherwise favored. But a law professor at the University of Iowa, attempted it anyway.”

While consumers quickly feel the pinch filling up their own gas tanks, much of the impact in other goods and services can take longer to hit them.

Alex, could not agree more about the existential fight for direct democracy. Plus, I just want government to do what they say they are going to do.

One destination, two routes: Atlanta residents debate the future of Beltline transit Plans for mass transit on the Atlanta Beltline have stalled. Some residents would like to see development start again, while others are satisfied with the trail as it is now.

I was quoted in this story (in a personal capacity) in the aftermath of the revelation that an unelected cabal secretly met to spike the Atlanta Streetcar East Extension.

To me, this is not a debate, but an existential fight for direct democracy in the birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement:

We can remember at least one time when the United States did take care of daycare; it was during a time of war. 🤔 #FDR
