If you needed even MORE of a reason to switch to Bluesky, China is "troubled" by the fact that they've invested so much time on Twitter buying ads, bots, and influencers... only to see the people they're seeking to manipulate (us) flee the site.

I bought solar panels & a decent-sized (non-Tesla) battery to decrease my bills & help generate clean energy to send back to the grid.
Now these pricks are crying "aw boo hoo, too many people have solar panels."
Maybe we shouldn't have privatised a public system?

Texas may be the country’s oil & gas heartland, but it’s also the most dynamic market for clean energy — hence why a Google Nest spinout wants to build a 1GW "virtual power plant" there that turns smart thermostats into grid resources. By @jeffstjohn.bsky.social www.canarymedia.com/articles/vir...

Please stop giving the fossil fuel industry a marketing and linguistic boon:
“Natural gas” is just methane.
“Natural” is a well-known marketing ploy that obfuscates the reality.
The methane gas we use in our homes is the result of an industrial process & is a potent GHG that leaks & explodes.
