Our planet has life thanks to the sun... and the sun overs the promise for us to keep our planet livable for humans for generations.Since SunShares in the early 1980's for passive and thermal solar, solar PV has since scaled to be the most affordable power globally! www.linkedin.com/posts/davidk...

I visited DC a few times recently and found it lovely and peaceful. May our country live up to its beauty. (Peace Monument in front of Capitol.)

This one’s been on our bulletin board for years, but sadly still relevant. #energysky

The Raider by Steven Platt is a fascinating story of a New England boy who becomes a marine in China in the 1930s and is inspired by the early Red Army and later founded the first U.S. special forces - Evan Carlson. #booksky

On Tyranny is such a concise and sadly relevant book by @timothysnyder.bsky.social I’ve been surprised recently by friends who have not read it, so sharing - history has lessons to teach us. #booksky timothysnyder.org

Democracy rally in Raleigh. For Justice Allison Riggs and free & fair elections.

Yes Dems need to speak up!

Just as they did in the pandemic, the Democrats need to be holding daily press conferences! Featuring personal stories of those who are being harmed by the DOGE destruction. Not waiting to get the narrative perfect, but providing an alternate humane & uplifting vision. #DOGE #Dems #resist

The world is decarbonizing at an accelerating pace, thank goodness, especially China. Will the US keep up? BNEF report—

We celebrate two men today, only one is a worthy model for young men. He preached non-violence, not inciting riots. He emulated Gandhi, not Putin. He served others, not himself. He followed Jesus, not his Ego. He preached unity of all races with justice. We were uplifted by him, not degraded. #MLK

Sage Warrior by Valerie Kaur is a nurturing book for these times: ‘See No Stranger’. And fascinating to learn the early history of the Sikhs - no Hindu, no Muslim, all One. #booksky

I have so appreciated @margaretrenkl.bsky.social ‘s essays in the NYT for years, so what a joy to discover this book! She is so observant of nature & creatures in her backyard as well as the changing climate, along with poignant meditations on the seasons of our lives and families. #booksky
