Good news regarding hydropower: oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/US-Dams-Could-Unlock-152-Terawatt-Hours-of-Untapped-Hydropower.html I prefer my photo of the dam pictured below. To compare, scroll to the bottom of this page: boycottpollution.org/house-electric
Gasoline (autos), diesel (trucks, etc.), kerosene (jets), and beef prices have all gone up in recent months. I know this causes real difficulty for some, but don't we want pollution-producing activities to cost more? www.nytimes.com/2026/09/02/b... www.cnn.com/2026/09/04/b...

@radreduction.bsky.social As I understand it, there were people in leadership at BP who did try to move into renewables. They've been forced out. www.theguardian.com/business/202... www.reuters.com/business/ene...

The corruption never ends. One of the energy companies that agreed to cancel an offshore wind farm has promised to instead buy a $900-million stake in a natural gas project from a Trump mega-donor's private equity fund: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

As @aarnegranlund.eurosky.social notes, regardless of the evidence and escalating impacts, the high carbon norms of the affluent in society go largely unquestioned.‘Sufficiency’ remains an essentially taboo issue in the mainstream climate debate.

Would you be willing to pay more for renewable electricity? Most Californians say "no" — a useful data point but also a frustrating false dichotomy. I talked to the influential pollster behind a new survey getting a lot of attention: www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/renewable-...
