Not what the fossil fuel oligarchs had in mind, exactly. But very, very nice.

Yes, 100% in agreement! How attractive is Vancouver going to look to the MLB or other leagues if we can’t maintain an NBA team or an MLS team?

This baseball announcement reeks of political campaigning in an election year.

We should be learning from other countries...

Cunning of History: “The most fossil fuel-friendly government in recent U.S. history has shown us all just how risky reliance on oil and gas can be — and taught the world that true energy security lies in accelerating toward a cleaner, electrified future“

Plant spring onions for a quick, tasty crop! Sow seeds directly in well-drained soil or containers. Succession sow every 2–3 weeks for continuous harvests. Snip green tops to encourage more shoots!

This is the first oil crisis in which clean alternatives to oil and gas — solar panels, wind turbines, electric vehicles and batteries — are both inexpensive and widely available.

'Elevates the mood': Third places providing a space away from work and home In an increasingly digital world, Brisbane residents are still heading out to enjoy third places to take a break, enjoy life, and expose themselves to new ideas.

“The term ‘third place’ was coined by sociologist Ray Oldenburg in his book The Great Good Place, which explored the role of places like cafes, parks, & libraries in societies.

He argued such places were not only important for mental health, but were essential to democracy & a sense of community.”

NEW | Cheap battery storage means solar can now economically meet up to 90% of India’s electricity demand ☀️🔋

Solar paired with batteries could deliver electricity at a LCOE of INR 5.06/kWh, lower than the average power cost in most Indian states 🇮🇳

I'm bad at math, is 90% a lot?

The 10-Year-Old Nikon D5 DSLR Really Is the Best Camera for Artemis II The Nikon D5 may be relatively old, but it's also uniquely powerful in low light.

So why is the crew using a 10 year old Nikon? For those that are interested:

This is the face of a lunar scientist who has just been told that the #Artemis II crew saw SEVERAL impact flashes (the flashes when meteors hit the lunar surface) in real time 😃 🌓💥

Reid Wiseman on #Artemis II: "We have Earth out window 4 and Moon out window 3... the Moon is about 3-4 times the size of the Earth and it is almost full, and the Earth is just a small crescent out there... it's magnificent... such a majestic view out here"

The LNG Shock Isn’t Driving Asia Back to Coal If you’re given to the Sickos Guy view of world events, there’s one obvious way to make the current crisis in the Middle East look just that little bit more disastrous: As well as starving us of energ...

"With the LNG drought pushing up electricity prices and PVs providing a cheaper, easier alternative, a boom in rooftop solar is far more likely than a return to coal. Don’t look under the ground for the solution to the LNG crisis. The answer is in the skies" www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

That’s me in the hard hat, in front of the bucket of a terrifyingly enormous digger.
What you can’t really tell from the picture is that my head was spinning.
I’d just had one of those moments that change your life forever.
It would set me off on a journey around the world…!🧵

NASA might have been the coolest organization on planet earth — a real life/larger than life organization that the smartest people in the world respected, kids dreamed their whole life of working for, & even Hollywood couldn’t make larger than it already was.

So of course Trump ruined it in a year.

At the very least, I wish more Americans would watch and support @pbs.org. If you haven't seen the @ricksteves.bsky.social Iran episode, you really should take the time. These little windows can change perspectives. Let’s start with empathy.

Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them Utilities are convincing lawmakers around the U.S. to delay bills that would allow people to buy solar panels, plug them into an outlet and begin generating electricity.

bar chart of Pakistan estimated savings on fossil fuel imports due to solar deployment, from 2018 to 2026 (current year is projected only). y axis is in USD billions. starts off at zero and then is about 0.5bn in 2022 and rises to almost 5bn in 2025 and estimated 7bn in 2026. from CREA

Countries that *did* deploy a lot of renewables & electrification are already faring better than they otherwise would have .
Here are some examples:
1/ Pakistan, still highly exposed to Gulf LNG supply crunch BUT estimated to save $12 billion due to solar boom:

"Solar panels in China are cheaper than a same-size piece of window glass. You can use panels as siding and fencing as if it’s a building material that just happens to produce some electricity
The future is panels everywhere"-@dfeldman.org

1/ Disruptions mean countries will rush to exit US-led oil order

Worst case scenario for oil companies (best for rest of us) is that people permanently shift...what they call “demand destruction“
