Climate dad to E, J, and C. Working on decarbonization and environmental justice in Cleveland. Founded the Cleveland Refugee Bike Project. Supports Juventus & Eintracht. Opinions my own and probably wrong.

One thing that we haven't mentioned is that a major justification for them rolling back fuel economy standards and repealing the Endangerment Finding is that the US is energy independent and buffered from global energy markets.

Coal use in the UK during 2025 was as low as it's been since Elizabeth I was Queen

I remember when we ended WWII by dropping a shadow ban on Hiroshima
Good morning with good news: Combined solar and battery plant's global average cost is 44% LOWER than the cost of combined-cycle gas turbine plant!
Solar & battery: $57/MWh
Gas plant: $102/MWh
Solar: $39/MWh
Land wind: $40/MWh
Offshore wind: $100/MWh
WOW!

Tillerson was on the toilet when he got fired. Not sure if this is better or worse than that.

That's assuming utility scale for $2/watt. Residential rooftop is roughly double that. So if we assume an average 5 kW system, we could put panels on 50,000 houses a day.

Turning electricity juice into slurp juice
The largest electricity user on this list, a Bitcoin miner in Rockdale, Texas, uses 3.74 TWh of electricity. The 554,500 households in Cuyahoga County used 4.04 TWh in 2022. So 93%.
Thinking again about how a single data center that mines Bitcoin in Akron uses 1/4 the electricity as all households in Cuyahoga County combined
Rising oil prices may make clean energy more attractive, but higher inflation and interest would make it less competitive
Arendt argues that antisemitism laid the foundation for the rise of totalitarianism. History may not repeat. But it does rhyme.
"We have a few humble but powerful toolsβthe solar panel, the windmill, the batteryβthat make it easier to imagine something other than our current nightmare."
