It's 2026. The question isn't which thing can we burn to produce electricity that is slightly less worse than the other things we burn.
Building new infrastructure to burn things in 2026 is peak stupidity and greed.
Luckily solar, wind and storage are cheaper.
On this day in 2019, I witnessed one of the coolest things ever. A lenticular cloud lit-up by a setting sun over the Perito Morena Glacier in Argentina.

Ich sage es mal so: Solange deutschlandbewimpelte Flachdenker mitten in einer fossilen Übergewinnphase und Klimakatastrophe ausgerechnet in einem Verbrenner-Autokorso nach Berlin schüsseln, um dort im Kreis fahrend gegen hohe Spritpreise zu demonstrieren, ist Sprit einfach noch nicht teuer genug.
Adam Morton Chris Bowen to begin Cop31 climate summit president's role remotely Chris Bowen's role as president for negotiations at the Cop31 climate summit in Turkey later this year will kick off remotely. With the fuel crisis raging and Bowen giving daily press conferences on the government's response, the climate change and energy minister said he would not fly to Berlin next week for the Petersberg Climate Dialogue, an annual meeting of representatives from about 40 countries. A spokesperson for the minister said he "considers his travel carefully" and would not fly for the meeting hosted by the German climate action ministry on Tuesday and Wednesday. "In this instance he will take advantage of the virtual attendance and continues to engage closely with all his international counterparts. Australia will also not be represented at ministerial level at the first global conference on transitioning away from fossil fuels in Colombia starting next Friday.
Australia's energy minister is skipping global meetings on accelerating the phase-out of fossil fuels because he has to stay in Australia to deal with the fallout from not phasing fossil fuels out fast enough.

The same people who argue with climate scientists about who knows more about climate are naturally going to argue with the Pope about who knows more about Jesus.
4 women raised their voices & forced Dems to remove Swalwell from office.
Despite 27 women credibly accusing Trump of sexual assault, his name in the Epstein files 1M+ times & being found guilty of raping E Jean Carroll, DeSantis continues to stand by Trump. Every MAGA accusation is a confession.
The US will close the Straits of Hormuz because the Iranians will not open the Straits of Hormuz despite the US bombing Iran in response to them closing the Straits of Hormuz because only the US is allowed to extort other countries via the Straits of Hormuz.

Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

We didn't deserve this day.
Sharing again for visibility: those shoeless hippies at the, uh, European Central Bank have urged states to accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels, highlighting their volatility.

This is an excellent paper and I also encourage high school teachers to read it.
We owe our students so much more. It requires slow, patient effort from all of us.
What will happen to the 82 USFS experimental forests around the country? Many sites have decades-long experiments that are tracking how forests are changed by timber harvesting practices and climate change. As I say here, “you can't just pick up an experimental forest site and move it to SLC.”
Excise relief socialises cost nationally while privatising direct benefit to fuel users - and to sends more dollars to those selling fossil fuels
But free public transport to help peeps get out of cars is ignored, except for Vic and Tas
No, not ignored, ruled out

Harmful benzene found in household leaks of European gas, study shows Low level escape of carcinogenic vapour previously undetected, scientists say
Perennial reminder: IKEA sells induction plates for $50.
Cap the gas line, put the induction plate on top of the gas stove, and avoid spewing carcinogens into your home.
Yes, you can also spend $5k on that beautiful high-end stove, while vying for that Michelin star.

But calling for it anyway, however ignorantly, will make a direct difference to what climate change denying donors pay politicians. So there’s that.
Dear Persian creator god of order,
Please help humanity realise the folly of fossil fuels by closing your beautiful strait for just long enough until we all install solar panels
