Incredible work by a tribe of just 400 people to restore wildlife habitat and reduce flooding risk. 💚 Coastal wetland restoration—anywhere and everywhere—is one of the best things we can do for our collective future.

The Stillaguamish Tribe in Washington state has been buying land in its traditional territory and removing levees. The goal is to turn farmland into wetlands with the hopes of restoring Chinook salmon. n.pr/4tciGx0

This rate of change in methane gas use is insane. 25% decrease in one year. "That growth in battery capacity managed to shift about three times as much power from the daytime...It has caused the need for gas-fired generation to drop by more than a quarter from the same time last year"

Europe is saving €100M a day by investing in solar as the Iran war drives up prices.
Countries are doubling down on renewables to keep bills lower & strengthen energy independence.
Meanwhile the US is paying companies to stop clean energy projects.
This isn’t about technology. It’s about choices.

Absolutely blonkers that I could walk from Lake Oswego through various nature parks and riverwalk almost to Mount Tabor and have it all be pleasant and mostly canopied. Throw in private and public art, innovative spaces for relaxation, copious coffee shops, and it was just wonderful. 12 miles.

Ed Miliband is right.
'Spain's pivot to renewables has been a big win for household energy bills. In 2019, prior to its wind and solar revolution, it had some of the highest electricity prices in Europe. Now it has some of the cheapest.'

Spain could be the only EU country to beat energy price hikes
Spain spent the last six years investing heavily in wind and solar energy, leading to some of the cheapest power prices in Europe.

This is a perfidious essay. It's pathos-inflected argument asks everything of people and nothing of AI Tech companies and their Billionaire overlords. Absolutely nothing. They are treated as a force of nature to be mitigated, not a human institution subject to a democracy's sovereign dominion.
