Past fossil-fuel price spikes left import-dependent countries with two options: pay up or cut fuel use. Now there is an alternative in solar and batteries.
I looked at recent examples in Europe, Pakistan, Cuba to glean what might happen with the war on Iran.

On The Climate Brink, an obituary for the DOE Climate Working Group report
People expect 'greens' to be talking about climate - 'of course they'd say that, they're an environmentalist'
But when people who aren't the usual suspects talk about it, it turns it from a niche concern to a mainstream concern
'Everyday influencers' are vital for reaching social tipping points
After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
Still time to write to your Senators (and get your friends to do the same). Casey Means is a charlatan with dangerous views on contraception, raw milk, vaccines and has a whole lot of conflict of interest--she's making money off it all. Just say no to the quack. actionnetwork.org/letters/oppo...
“What matters is making it clear that the people Musk has killed…had lives that mattered as much as yours or mine, and that gleefully snuffing them out by the hundreds of thousands is not a mere peccadillo, but a crime on the scale of that committed by the defendants at Nuremberg.”
Boycott Elon.

It’s a great day to ask why Howard Lutnick lied about visiting Epstein Island and still has a job, paid for by your tax dollars.
Here's the entire radar run of the February 22-23 2026 Blizzard, using @noaa.gov's MRMS dataset.

hey some rare good news: the us is installing a SHIT TON of batteries right now!
It can take science orgs a bit of time after the end of the year to stitch together all the observations of global surface temperature into an annual picture. All 5 of the major datasets are now available, so we’ve put together the latest annual update. #ClimateFacts #ScienceMatters [1/8]
Even actuaries are concerned about insurance markets, and corrupt fossil fuel efforts to impede climate risk research. Consumers will pay.
when big tech companies say that AI will save the planet, what kinds of AI are they actually talking about — and what's their proof? i took a look at some great new research from @ketanjoshi.co and talked to other experts about how a lot of this talk is probably bullshit:
OKAY BIG ONE FOR YA
NEW report out today: I dig deep into how big tech has been muddling tech types and overstating evidence to claim "AI" will make global emissions drop like a stone....
Not only will it not, it seems to be verifiably doing the opposite!!

American climate science is losing federal support right when we need it most.
Project Drawdown is stepping up: launching the Climate Science Serving America Fellowship for early/mid-career PhD scientists to do good science that does good.

Data from MethaneSAT, a satellite that measures and tracks methane emissions, suggests that methane emissions from oil and gas production are roughly 50% higher than company estimates.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.
The scientific understanding of human-driven climate change is much stronger today than it was in 2009 when the EPA first issued the endangerment finding. There is no scientific basis for the Trump administration's decision to repeal it
More disturbing news today about the removal of scientific evidence from decision-making processes in our federal government. Censoring educational materials about the climate crisis will not make it go away - it will just make our public institutions less equipped to deal with it.
If you're a judge or work in law and still want to get up to speed on climate science and its legal implications, check out the excellent Climate Judiciary Project cjp.eli.org
I will eventually shut up about this but Bad Bunny’s use of the power lines is an outstanding example of how to communicate about climate and energy issues. Not about who is the smartest nerd in the room and spewing numbers but about people’s actual lives. Genius.
Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous
Commenting on energy injustice is now the floor for any halftime act.
Winter Olympics start tonight! I wrote about Jacquie Pierri, a women's hockey player who is also a sustainable energy engineer and vocal climate advocate when she's not winning championships around the world. Such a badass. You need to hear her story: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/jacquie-pi...
Riffing off Brendan's method of juxtaposition in this awesome report, I'd like to offer another comparison:
Food assistance cuts versus new funding for DHS in the "Big Beautiful Bill"
Republicans cut food assistance by $187 billion while providing $191 billion in funding for DHS
This needs to be at the top of every story about the ICE body-cam thing. They already have body cameras.
