Maybe the best Volts episode ever, and one of the best good news stories in the past few months. My favourite bit was the anecdote about families in rural Pakistan offering solar panels as dowry 🤯

The influential @volts.wtf spoke with Muhammad Mustafa Amjad of Renewables First and Waqas Moosa with the Pakistan Solar Association about Pakistan's extraordinary solar boom. Give it a listen. It's a whirlwind of a story about a bottom up energy revolution: www.volts.wtf/p/pakistans-...

The LA fires highlight a deep injustice: formerly incarcerated firefighters, who risked their lives battling wildfires for pennies, are barred from using that same experience for a stable career post-release. They deserve pardons. More from @ericms.bsky.social: www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-e...

For millions of people, Musk burned Twitter to the ground. Zuck is about to do the same for FB and Insta. But we don't have to keep pouring time, energy, and attention into a service that some oligarch can roll up and wreck when he pleases. We can act, together, to take that power back.🦋
