I feel like this has been one of the better dumb bullshit days on Bluesky and we need to do this more often

TRUST IN HAL HARTLEY With a new movie out is it finally time for Gen X's most indie filmmaker?

I am trying to manifest a Hal Hartley revival with @loureedsnephew.bsky.social www.themediumcool.com/p/trust-in-h...

loved this book and love this podcast and now BOTH TOGETHER!

Hochul pauses all-electric building mandate The New York director at the Building Decarbonization Coalition makes the case for keeping gas appliances out of new construction.

📻 BDC’s @aconsidine.bsky.social tells WCNY’s Capitol Pressroom that pausing implementation of the All Electric Buildings Act will delay the delivery of more affordable, reliable & sustainable energy to New Yorkers: bit.ly/4oUPFEZ #BuildingDecarb #EnergyAffordability #HeatPump #ClimateSky 🔌💡

Clean electrification is inevitable Kingsmill Bond explains why the global march of "electrotech" has moved beyond the reach of US political interference.

Today on Volts: the subset of cleantech known as "electrotech" -- solar, batteries, heat pumps, etc. -- is marching toward inevitable victory, not because it's low-emissions (though it is), but because it's more efficient & cheaper. I discuss the good news with @kingsmillbond.bsky.social.

One Key State Remains in Limbo on Climate and Clean Energy Policies As Several Others Retreat - Inside Climate News Arizona, Connecticut, New York and North Carolina are backsliding on climate issues. But Massachusetts isn’t, at least for now.

With a bunch of states backtracking on climate, appreciate @dangearino.bsky.social for highlighting one key state that hasn't, at least not yet: Massachusetts. insideclimatenews.org/news/2011202...

Get your flu shots people. Last year was the worst flu season in 10 years and don't love even a small regional slice like this looking much worse already.

Court appeal delays NYS All-Electric Buildings Act Despite becoming law, New York is delaying implementation of the All-Electric Buildings Act. The law requires all-electric cooking and heating systems for new buildings under seven stories by 2026 and

⚡ Delaying implementation of NY’s All Electric Buildings Act will make it more difficult for NYers to enjoy the affordability benefits of new all-electric buildings, explains BDC’s @aconsidine.bsky.social to @publicnewsservice.bsky.social bit.ly/4a3TUt2 #BuildingDecarb #EnergyAffordability 🔌💡

Thermal energy: It’s clean, abundant energy you never use up. ⚡This #ThermalEnergyThursday, HEET’s Zeyneb Magavi explains why it’s a great resource for heating and cooling buildings. 🔗heet.org 🔗buildingdecarb.org/tens

That said, I think the basic reason is that the Empire depended on a strong State supporting a strong Army, and vice versa. And both were weakened for various reasons at that time, so they did not end up being able to support each other. But let @patrickwyman.bsky.social tell you why I am wrong.

I listened to @patrickwyman.bsky.social's entire Fall of Rome podcast, and I still can't give you a simple explanation for why the Western Roman Empire fell. So I think the actual answer to this question is "it's complicated" (like most questions like this). But curious what Patrick would say.

Geothermal energy looks set to go from niche to necessary Competition between startups including Fervo Energy, Eavo and XGS Energy is hotting up. 2026 looks set to mark the start of the great geothermal renaissance

Over a century since its first use in Italy, geothermal power provides less than 1% of global electricity. In the coming year, that figure could surge

It’s reliable. It’s cost-effective. And there’s no question it works. Here’s why Colorado Senator John Hickenlooper is excited about clean, affordable, reliable #ThermalEnergyNetworks for heating and cooling homes in his state. ▶️ buildingdecarb.org/tens

Kitchen Currents: Seattle’s Marjorie Restaurant Moodie’s story is part of a new video series by the Building Decarbonization Coalition (BDC), Kitchen Currents, which features restaurant owners who made a conscious decision to go electric.

This video is the first in a series about professional chefs & restaurants who have shifted to induction cooking. Really great watch!

This is so cool: Copper, which makes induction stoves with li-ion batteries integrated, is going to build *10,000* of these suckers for use in New York public housing.

Better cooking, easier cleaning, grid resiliency built in. Win win win.

This industrial heat pump is cheaper to run than a boiler. Yes,… Skyven Technologies is making clean steam in a cost-effective way. The tech could boost efforts to decarbonize heavy industry.

Take a exclusive look at Skyven Technologies’ cheaper, cleaner alternative to industrial boilers, which makes steam with electricity and waste heat.

Let there be warmth! The British churches putting their faith in heat pumps Ancient buildings and old bones aren’t getting in the way of decarbonisation

NEW: I wrote about British churches installing heat pumps, in some cases in 1,000-year-old buildings! Decarbonisation may not be easy, but many view it as an act of faith.
