I knew municipal utilities generally provide lower electricity prices than investor-owned monopoly utilities, but I had no idea the difference was *this stark* in California. No wonder CA electeds are pushing to make municipalization easier and cheaper.

Without knowing much about this so-far-untraced money flow, one safe bet to add to increasing brutal heat waves in our future is unmuted billionaire screeching, likely through mouthpieces

Awesome Orwell spin with the 'Democracy Unmuted' name choice
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."
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?
The more I think on recent work by @gruberte.bsky.social @jlappen1.bsky.social @shastingssimon.bsky.social @jmijin.bsky.social and friends, the more inevitable it seems that governments will need to take over/wind down certain fossil businesses to avoid catastrophic failures and inequities. This...
The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit
The spread of SUVs in London is completely unbelievable. I was walking through Palmers Green and in every driveway there's 1 or 2 cars, and like more than half are these massive tanks. The streets are choked beyond belief. It's so wild

Considering these people have roles in national security, try to re-envision a Bond film with a high level security meeting, and there are clown shoes. (This works only if it's in an Austin Powers film.)
It's inexplicable. Or: the explanations are just too scary. Like a lot of things these days, although condensed into some unforgettable images of real life clown shoes
What’s worse?
Trump buying shoes that don’t fit and his Cabinet members being too scared to say anything. Or…
They haven’t figured out they can buy the same shoe in their size and he would never know. Or trade shoes with each other to wear the right size since they’re all the same style.
The enormous value to both Putin and Netanyahu of having an idiotic, compromised US president should also put his history with Epstein into sharp relief. Trump could be, or is, the greatest foreign intelligence success on the planet. Although if it's those two, his clients are as deranged as he is.

@jgkoomey.bsky.social's message at our talk today should already define the knowledge you need to graduate from high school, and be the goal of the leadership skills taught in universities.

It really frustrates me how hard this is to explain: solar generates all at the same time across a region! Batteries definitely do help (charts to come) but even a big battery (this one's 22kWh) will sit full most of spring-autumn and nearly empty all winter.
It's an honor to have #PlayEnergetic presented at The Nueva School's Innovative Learning Conference today, in San Mateo:

And a double-honor to have @jgkoomey.bsky.social helping us explain the game! The truth is, all high school & undergrad curricula shd change

Trump has tremendous difficulty with principled people (even if as with the Iranian regime, the principles are bad). He assumes everyone is a transactional fraud like him. Works well with rich Americans and poorly with idealists of any stripe
If you want to stop the GOP, take away this pillar of support

Schumer's fundraisers and AI industry lobbyists (for a16z, OpenAI, Oracle, etc.) flew congressional staff to London and stay at a five-star hotel in Mayfair—to tour Anduril and wear VR headsets on defense targeting. New:

Still, might be a good time for you to do the same? Have a watch of this first episode and I will walk you through the whole process.

👀 pay attention to who is paying for in person face time with congressional staff. Especially on the most lavish trips. It will show up in law i.e what they heard over beers and in political culture i.e. a transactional view of public service. @sludge.bsky.social
The magenta is where this ridge is forecast (Euro) to be the most intense on record for the day. It's not the size of a city or a state, is literally the majority of the American West. The March record for Palm Springs is 104. For Phoenix it is 100… 2/
