As Lake Powell recedes, canyons once underwater are full of life again. Beavers are building dams and shaping ponds that create space for plants, fish, and frogs to thrive.

As Lake Powell recedes, beavers are building back
Drought and steady demand along the Colorado River are draining the nation's second-largest reservoir. Land that was once submerged is now full of beavers and thriving ecosystems.

Beavers doing the darnedest things: Fun to stumble upon this colony at 10,000 ft, in a windswept alpine valley disconnected from other streams and well above the aspen line, transforming a few scrubby willows & a couple CFS of flow into a picturesque terrace of infinity pools. Resourceful critters!

Dare I say “deplorables”?
It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

What Will Happen to the Glen Canyon Dam?
The Glen Canyon Dam needs a massive overhaul if it’s going to keep delivering hydroelectric power—or, for that matter, water to the lower Colorado River.

The neat thing about the ultra-viral Czech beaver dam story is that it’s just a particularly vivid example of what legions of unsung beavers do every day — help us solve our environmental problems without our gratitude or acknowledgment, and in spite of our attempts to kill them! Beavers gonna beav.
imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off

The 1.6-MW pilot system is among a growing number of initiatives to put solar over waterways. The approach could generate gigawatts of power nationwide.

Clearly since the STABLE GENIUS thinks he is smarter than everyone else, we all must be stupider than him.
Trump on RFK Jr., the CDC, and vaccines (a translation).
He seems to be saying that he was shown data about COVID19 vaccines being safe and effective, but that the pharma companies didn’t show those amazing data to anyone else, like RFK Jr.
He thinks this is why there is a “mess” at CDC.

@getmoresmarter.com You guys need to start talking about this.
New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!
