Banks Notch Higher Fees From Green Bonds Than Fossil Fuel Debt Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year, even as they faced ongoing pressure to pull back ...

"Wall Street’s biggest banks made more money financing green projects than they did from working with fossil fuel companies for a fourth straight year..."

How many people know this?

The economics are on the side of clean energy.

The petrofascists know. Can they stop it?

Students beginning to refer to essay questions as "prompts"

People on the bank and people on boats waving at each other?

Courage, moral outrage, love and care — these are things I struggle to maintain in my mind. Other people may need to cultivate different affects.

But none of our feelings will help if they aren’t based on reality.

Truly, not trying to be doomer. If anything I think that the hope that arises out of *determination* — the capacity to fight on despite all odds — comes not from painting a falsely reassuring picture of the past and present, but by cultivating qualities that allow us to rise up and fight on.

I know it can be UNBEARABLE to hold this knowledge right now — and it’s very hard to see how to have hope in this dark — but we have to remain poised to grab the next political opportunity to turn this ship around, which we won’t be ready to do if we think THIS what we have now is “progress.”

Deeply heartening how much my 11 year old hates AI: voiceovers to YouTube vids, AI generated images and film, anything. He’s already totally attuned to it, and fucking loathes it. Hopefully an indication of its long term viability

“Low barriers to entry to a position in a debate” is ironically exactly the kind of conceptual mangle AI excels at

Despite the noise, renewables keep rising now generating more electricity than coal.

@iea.org halved its US outlook, but raised India’s by 10%, putting it on track as the No. 2 growth market after China. MENA up 23%, driven by Saudi wind and solar.

This was a word AND he cussed 😂

They’re saying it’s the correctest opinion there’s ever been. No one’s seen a correcter opinion

Rooftop solar power in Australia is the cheapest power available to consumers in the world, full stop. I wish more people knew that.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

On fossil fuels being a bad investment: the person you must follow for this is @connorpchung.bsky.social

Existence? It precedes essence.

That of which we cannot speak? We must remain silent.

The world? It’s everything that is the case.

By 2025, China will likely sell over 16M EVs—more than the total US vehicle sales (~15.5M). That’s one country, single-handedly, pulling the global auto industry into the electric era—and slashing transport emissions along the way. The scale is staggering, and next are the export markets. #EVs #LFP

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

When I called out UK complicity in the genocide in Gaza, Wes Streeting called it “cheap”.

Now he calls it a “horror show” — as if Britain isn’t enabling Israeli genocide with arms and surveillance.

A parlour game to him. A “cheap” performance while Palestinians are massacred.

When your politics is totally not determined by your unresolved psychosexual obsessions

Just an avalanche of recent evidence in support of the Buddhist view that my wellbeing is inconceivable separately from the wellbeing of everyone else (indeed, of every other living being)
