That's it, the last thing. All energy is fungible to most people. They're paying more attention to best picture nominees
Area sun pillar.
I'm not a farmer or a resident of a rural area, but I think there is no way that the future of farming is at risk because of solar. Even if we fully decarbonized the electric grid.
There is this very sad way in which American engineers and planners have decided that none of the policy or infrastructure decisions made in the mid century can be seriously questioned, let alone rolled back.

Agenda looks great!👇
"Moshiri’s hidden hand in Washington spycraft, revealed here for the first time, offers a window into how Trump embraced the energy industry’s unsentimental playbook for dealing with autocratic regime"
Unsentimental playbook. Curious word choice.

SCOOP: Alabama might be the first state to ever ban new solar farms.
Why? People are upset about a gigantic solar project that would power a Meta data center.
Turns out when you tie solar to data centers, it can quickly become less popular!
we recently made the switch to electric (finally) ourselves and I absolutely adore the Ioniq EV9. It's also true for road trips (youth basketball tournaments in central PA) it takes a bit more thinking/planning. But, after a few of those you get completely used to it and it's smooth sailing.

Fun bit in @chrisbaraniuk.com's Reengineer newsletter: "A cherry farmer in New Zealand has electrified all of his farm equipment. Mike Casey has spoken about this transition before but there’s a new interview with him about how things are going on the farm, courtesy of Energi Media."
Hello! The best team in Climate Politics and Policy is still looking for a Data Engineer!
We're interested in people with more relevant civic data experience and a strong interest in Climate Cabinet's mission.
Priority deadline extended to March 17th.
Fully remote within the US.
would love to discuss
In my DOE capacity I asked some mining people who were complaining about long timelines if they'd be happy with short timelines but sometimes the answer is "no, you can't have a permit" instead of "sure, go back and redo it until you get a yes."
That was a pretty funny conversation tbh.
HOLY SHIT.
A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election.
Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?
JJ Cale. That’s all
I need this write up too @paulosanalysis.com! Curious about this Home Depot mounting strategy for the garage.
Wind and solar are the two biggest resources on the Midwest’s electric grid (MISO) right now. Never seen that before :)
I'm just estimating based on capacity. I would love to see actual production data!
These systems would provide a similar level of savings to what some basic energy efficiency would provide: 10-20% bill reduction. They are being deployed in other countries by the millions without significant issues. They would get people very excited about solar.
Words to live by, from the inimitable @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social, oracle of our time.
