TIL that the first reference to “organized crime” was in a sermon about the corruption of the NYPD podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

Decades Ago, Columbia Refused to Pay Trump $400 Million A quarter century ago, the university was looking to expand. It considered, and rejected, property owned by Donald Trump. He did not forget it.

So profoundly disappointed in Columbia for caving to this transparently petty, corrupt, small-minded bully.

Meyer: After four years at the nerve center of decarbonization in the government, what do you think is the biggest obstacle to decarbonization, and to doing the energy transition? Granholm: I think right now, I mean, I would say the most immediate big obstacle is that we have 3.7 terawatts of clean energy waiting to get into the queue, to be, build out that generation from the transmission point of view. If I could tackle one thing, one thing quickly, it would be the interconnection queues. Meyer: Wow. And so you would be willing to pay, you would be willing to make other concessions to handle transmission? Granholm: I would be. And then the, I would, there’s one other thing I would say, is, I would want to invest much more in baseload power, baseload clean power. So bigger investment in geothermal, bigger investment in hydroelectric — even distributed hydroelectric, you know, making dams where they don’t already exist, stuff like that that really are … you know, I believe nuclear is a really important part of the clean energy future. And those nuclear reactors, small modular reactors, I think are really important. I’d continue to invest in them. I would also continue to invest in fusion.

The biggest obstacles to US decarbonization, according to outgoing Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm:

1. It’s too hard to connect new renewables to the grid due to lack of transmission

2. Not enough investment in 24/7 clean “baseload” power, like nuclear & geothermal heatmap.news/podcast/shif...

We will NOT be crossing the picket line when @Starbucks workers are on an unfair labor practice STRIKE. This #SolidaritySeason, we say #NoContractNoCoffee!

I had a dream that there was a warning light in my car saying “Brake poisoning”
