The fate of fossil fuel systems in the "mid-transition" I talk with Emily Grubert about the hidden dangers of letting the free market manage the decline of our legacy energy infrastructure.

Today on Volts: for the next few decades, we'll be in the "mid-transition," with clean energy systems growing as FF systems decline. Those FF systems will not decline smoothly -- there will be thresholds, "cliffs," where they suddenly crumble -- so maybe we should, I dunno, plan for it?

I'm not a programmer and I know that Claude can code well enough. I built gridpro.app with it and I don't know anything but CSS and HTML.

MPs urge government to put fairness at heart of Seventh Carbon Budget Parliament’s Environmental Audit Committee calls on government to ensure delivery of next Carbon Budget is affordable, convenient, and attractive to the public

Important report from the Environmental Audit Committee today highlighting how next wave of decarbonisation has to deliver benefits right across society. It's not telling government anything it is not already painfully aware of, but still a useful overview. www.businessgreen.com/news/4526407...

The branding suggests you're supposed to just eat the box.

Even I'm prepared to shoot Americans if they invade my country, as Trump has threatened to do. I'm a middle aged pacifist who can't even squash a spider but if self defense is necessary it must be decisive.

The Democrats lost the election because of a lack of moral clarity on the Gaza genocide and an unwillingness to criticize Israel. Now Trump is sending US troops to die to help Bibi commit war crimes. The Democrats need to be unambiguously opposed to this to regain political relevance. Pass it on.

Turns out DEI was holding everything together.

Given how closely the actual policy aims of the project 2025 folks align with those of all our most reprehensible villains, I'm starting to understand why the Christian fundamentalists don't let their members read or watch anything secular.

They look red and glassy and vacant - like he's on something.

Oh I basically just carried sandbags around on that one for a few days, but I think they did great too!

That's exactly how I've been feeling about Idiocracy.

Given how closely the actual policy aims of the project 2025 folks align with those of all our most reprehensible villains, I'm starting to understand why the Christian fundamentalists don't let their members read or watch anything secular.

But he made such an exceptional career out of being cranky about it though.

Man in the High Castle. I worked on that a little bit - it was uncomfortable to work around the city with set dec hanging Nazi banners all over the place and now here they are doing it for real.

My assumption is that ICE always reports the damage they do to their own vehicles by pretending they're playing Grand Theft Auto all day every day as a "ramming" incident that's somebody else's fault.

Sliver of Light Originally written and recorded during the protests in the run-up to the Iraq war, remastered and released on the occasion of the Iran war. Everything old is new again.

Imagine waking up one day to find your house is in the way of a global ambition from half a world away. It's a hell of a way to greet a sunny Saturday.

An old #song of mine that is tragically new again.

the Price of Oil A song about the Iraq war, remastered and rereleased for the Iran war.

They have the lines drawn and they want to know whose side we're on. But if we're in doubt, well that's ok. Looks like they're gonna do it anyway.

One of my old songs, tragically relevant again.

The IDF loves murdering children.

The failure of US corporate media to properly cover the Epstein Scandal as a geopolitical scandal encompassing Russia, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Israel, Bahrain, Egypt, and Qatar is now inevitably making it impossible for the same outlets to understand that this war is *fraudulent*.

You gotta keep talking about the Epstein files.

Iran has been tested in a war. They fended off an Iraqi invasion for eight years at the cost of half a million lives.

That's not a rational expectation at all. If your town was being bombed would you think "now's a great time for a march!" Obviously American soldiers will be sent to die in Iran.

Maybe Trump's friends in the Taliban can take over.

As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter

Republicans would rather start a war with Iran than protect children from pedophiles.

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

"Inflation would be no problem if you would all just start eating gross food." is a hell of a take. At least they've moved on from "raise chickens".

We all know why. The Epstein files are all over the news, his polls are in the toilet, he's in love with Netanyahu, his defense Secretary is a psychopath, and he thinks there doesn't need to be an election if the country is at war because that's what Zelensky said.

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

Americans are going to die and that is a good thing. They're invading and killing people in another country in an illegal war. There must be consequences for war crimes. There must be a cost. 24 Iranian school girls are already dead. Should Iranians just shrug it off?
