Climate change does not mean more solar energy hitting the surface. If anything, it will mean less solar energy reaching the surface, when in our desperation we finally have to rely on solar radiation management.

Great idea. There will be some who say "wait, you're describing a religion, and that's already been invented," but you are a disruptor and have no time for the naysayers. Try adding AI.

Assuming the task was to design a single object that could serve as both bad screwdriver and bad drill bit, Phillips did an admirable job.

Clean energy isn’t miserable enough to generate the grim scenery a show like Landman needs. A gritty drama about the insurance underwriter who worries about hail damage and all the solar installers suffering minor workplace injuries is something I’d totally watch, but I’m a weirdo.

I just upgraded from a Model 3 to a Mach-E as well! It feels so solid and smooth and quiet compared to the rattletrap Tesla. And of course it’s much less likely to kill or imprison me at a Musk’s command, which I find comforting.

Great idea. If Teslas are more legally protected than many humans, then they’ll make for better-than-human-shields.
