This story brings a tear to my eye. I remember the police hiding in the bush on the Burke Gilman trail at Brooklyn (We're like NY!)
To ticket people on bikes who did not come to a complete stop. While ignoring the cars not yielding to the crosswalk!

"Social Ties Are More Important to Health and Longevity Than Many Realize"

Cars are one reason social ties are broken. They limit street level interactions. We need to limit cars instead.

More shadow hearings please!
Pastor David Black was attacked by ICE while praying for immigrants.
During our shadow hearing in Chicago, he shared his story, his fight, and his demand that we all continue to work to protect immigrant communities.

Is the US really interested in zero traffic deaths or Vision Zero? That depends according to this article.

Today on Volts: Redwood Materials, the biggest battery recycler in the US, has launched Redwood Energy, which will gather used batteries & hook them up to power banks to serve as grid-scale storage until they're depleted. I talk with the CTO about the logistics & potential of second-life batteries.
Can "second life" EV batteries work as grid-scale energy storage?
Colin Campbell explains how Redwood drains every drop of capacity from used batteries before they are recycled.
