Energy insecurity. Higher bills. Exposure to catastrophic economic consequences of Trump's wars.

That's what happens when you fail to shift fast enough to renewables, and cut back on support for clean energy.

Let's cut bills & create jobs through a clean power revolution.

Weโ€™re 7 days into something that looks like a war, feels like a war, costs like a war, has the same economic effects of a war, but weโ€™re not supposed to call it a war because it would require the President to follow that annoying thing called the United States Constitution.

Reverse Mentoring brought Audrey Tang into government.

Now, it brings me a whole lot of insight into flexible thinking and being and how we can craft a world fit to leave to future generations.

I did something new in my writing-intensive Paleoecology capstone this year: I'm making them read books. I gave them a list of books to choose from, and they turn in reflections on the material and also the writing.

It has been a joy to watch these students discover a love of reading nonfiction.

#CleanWater is a basic right of life.

And water activism is one of those precious things that unites people across all the other toxic cultural divides.

Co-ordiNations vs the Network State: Greenland and the Schism in Global Vision with Dr Andrea Leiter What is a Network State and how does the concept matter in relation to the Trump administration's attempts to take Greenland - and their 'peace' proposals in Gaza and Ukraine?

from #AccidentalGods:

Clearly, the concept of a nation state as a geopolitical entity that claims legal monopoly on violence within certain borders is no longer fit for purpose.

So how might we build something better - that *isn't* Trump annexing Greenland?.

It's always about self-preservation...How ritual humiliation functions as a political tool, why this war unlikely to produce the rally-around-the-flag effect Trump may hope for &what it will actually take -from elites, from citizens, from all of us- to turn this moment into a political turning point

A renewable energy economy isn't just clean, it's strategic. Solar + storage isn't just affordable, it's domestic energy security.

No one can sanction the sun. No one can blockade the wind.

New paper online today. In it, we advocate for biodiversity in the increasingly modernized agricultural world. Smart farming could be a wonderful tool to alleviate pressure from agro-ecosystems, but, as we argue here, this will only happen if biodiversity becomes an explicit target.
