We'll always remember Berta CΓ‘ceres for her bravery, determination, strategic brilliance, and her commitment to the Lenca and Indigenous people everywhere. But maybe most of all, her subversiveness in embracing joy as a form of resistance. #BertaVive

Power Brokers, by Nick Bowlin What’s really behind your soaring utility bills

Going into the weekend wondering how the hell we're going to decouple profit motives from investor owned utilities. harpers.org/archive/2026...

What’s behind your eye-popping power bill? We broke it down, region by region. The culprit depends on where you live β€” but it’s probably not data centers (yet).

Seriously y'all, @compatibilism.bsky.social is data journalism genius.

Notice the trend lines: Regions that are reliant on oil and gas for their generation mix tend to be more susceptible to price hikes, while renewables have been a factor in many markets that have experienced more price stability.

What’s behind your sky-high power bill: A region-by-region breakdown Geography, wildfires, natural gas, wind energy, regulatory free-for-alls β€” these are some of the factors that determine your electric bills.

This story by @naveenasadasivam.bsky.social and @compatibilism.bsky.social is SO good, which makes me SO glad we had Naveena on this week's @climateone.org episode to talk about (surprise!) electricity prices.

I think about the power grid a lot. A LOT. But never did I once think that a piece of grid infrastructure would take center stage at the Super Bowl halftime show. #vivabadbunny #energysky www.canarymedia.com/articles/cul...

The U.S.-Venezuela-Guyana Oil Triangle The U.S. interest in Venezuela isn’t just about the oil there, but also about the oil next door in Guyana, and the U.S. oil companies that have staked their future on it.

Something I see a lot of folks missing in discussions about what's happening Venezuela, particularly around oil, is the role U.S. oil majors' interest in Guyanaβ€”and the threat Venezuela posed to itβ€”has in all of it. Explainer here: drilled.media/news/guyana-...

"...What’s the best response to Trump, old-school centrism or radical progressivism? Who gets to decide the future of the movement? How do we win?"

This is the kind of climate journalism we desperately need more of.

Another gem: "...The generational struggle β€” between younger activists demanding an intersectional approach to environmental advocacy, and older greens who’d prefer to stick to the environment, broadly speaking β€” mirrors the larger debates roiling the Democratic Party..."

@sammyroth.bsky.social nails it in today's Climate Colored Goggles: "Social and environmental justice are deeply intertwined. When you’re working to fight climate change and reduce air pollution, the people with the most to gain are marginalized communities."

Trump targets Atlantic and Pacific coasts for new oil drilling The move would reignite a fight with coastal state governors β€” particularly California’s Gavin Newsom β€” who forced the president to back down in his first term.

Not this nonsense again. They tried this in 2018, and were met with overwhelming opposition--not just from enviros, but from coastal businesses like hotels, restauranteurs, realtors, fishing groups, and others who don't want an oil spill to wreck their livelihoods.

For this reason, the Gates memo presupposes a false dichotomy regarding climate outcomes: The choice we are faced with is not between "good for us" & "the end of the world," but instead how much harm we are willing to tolerate, and endure, in the years to come. [8/n]

A frustrating amount of climate work pits "mitigation" and "adaptation" against each other--in a zero sum game where nobody wins. The reality is, the climate crisis is here now. We HAVE to adapt, but we also have to figure out how to walk and chew gum at the same time.
