Home electricity bills are skyrocketing. For data centers, not so much. » Yale Climate Connections Data centers are consuming more kilowatts than ever, but the price they pay for that electricity has risen only a little.

Upstate New York, where I live, also gets lots of hydropower - from Niagara Falls. Unfortunately our electric bills are going up anyway... yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/01/home...

There is No Scientific Justification to Revoke the Endangerment Finding The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org

We've had a request to send copies of our Teacher-Friendly Guide to Climate Change to Kenya for a March 3 conference.
We have hundreds of books we can send for the cost of shipping. A box of 14 weighs 31 lbs and is 6" x 17.25" x 11.5".

We might crowdfund if this is doable. Is it doable?

Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century.

He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.

I was alarmed when I saw this trend in electricity prices.
I bet you will be too.

Data centers are causing big increases in energy demand, but it's our bills that are rising the most. Seems unfair, eh?
