Announcing a little thing I've being working on:
⚡️ The Electricity Sector Field Guide ⚡️

When I joined the electricity sector 18 months ago, there was suddenly about a million new things I needed to learn about to get my job done.

What if we had no electricity and everything ran on fossil fuels?

Government is shut down. Chaos in airports. 42 million going hungry. 24 million face skyrocketing healthcare costs. Economy in turmoil. And the president of the United States is in the Fox broadcast booth calling plays for a football game.

If you haven’t seen much news about Palestine lately, it’s not because the killing stopped.
Israel has reduced coverage of the genocide, killing ~250 Palestinian journalists since Oct 7th.
Since the ceasefire, Israel has rejected 107 requests to bring aid into Gaza
and continued attacks.

I believe we’re waiting for a political class that isn’t afraid of falling or stagnating house prices because they’re not personally heavily invested in investment property and its rigged, discounted capital gains, so sympathise with ordinary people instead of just the wealthiest echelon.

Building more homes where people most want to live will make housing cheaper and create wealthier, healthier, and more vibrant cities. What are we waiting for? buff.ly/iKBgwgX

A thing I’ve been trying with climate deniers and anti-renewables folk in social media comments lately:
Empathy
Someone posts something that’s not true? I don’t target them. I write:
“Whoever told you this was lying to you. I googled it. Here’s the facts. Suggest you stop trusting that source.”

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Ignoring for a second that geoengineering is one of the stupidest ideas, why would this have anything to do with AI? WHY?!?! You want to use satellites to control how much sun reaches earth? Okay. That’s just an engineering project. No need for any AI, at all. But grifters slap it on everything now.
