All without building a bunch of new gas plants, which utilities are currently racing to do at the behest of big tech. Because gas - well understood, quick to build, and dispatchable - is the easiest path for both, climate be damned. We can only hope they read this report.

"there actually has been a really important right-wing strain in Silicon Valley for decades at this point. And a lot of what we’re seeing right now is that coming to fruition, really reaching an apex, rather than emerging out of nowhere." -- @beccalew.bsky.social

I probably have a different take on Zuckerberg's announcing the end of 3rd party fact checking. This is just acknowledgement of a failed status quo on their platform. Nothing changes the fact that FB manufactured this status quo or the absurdity of blaming news organizations for their failures.

I was peripherally aware of negative stuff about Carvana, but this is a whole other level. I'd already decided not to sell them my car, but WOW.

I wrote a piece a while back trying to work through my frustration with the state of pop culture criticism in the age of social media and publication collapse. Revisiting it, I think it still holds up. Here's "Skeleton Criticism." www.patreon.com/posts/37314871

Now that #EnergySky is here, I might post some professional interest stuff. When I was at NextEra, we mostly kept to ourselves, but since leaving I've seen things I was part of show up in public investor decks, so I figure it's OK to at the least admit what I worked on!

There's so much "why Harris lost" content out there. But this piece gets at the heart of why so many people feel worse off now than under Trump: pandemic support policies directly helped a lot of people... and then ended. jacobin.com/2024/11/elec...

It has now been 18 hours since my alarm went off in Sicily, 12 clock hours ago. And I'm not quite there yet! But it's all been very smooth so far.

☑️ Went to Sicily ☑️ Gorged on fresh raw fish ☑️ Got food poisoning (Although TBH I'm not totally convinced it was the fish.)

Yep. And there's a lot more--not easy, but doable--work to be done.
