Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:

I'm seeing claims that progress was made at #COP30, but it really wasn't. Each passing year with no fossil fuel phaseout comes at great opportunity cost as we further burn through the vanishing carbon budget that remains for averting dangerous warming. See my commentary: michaelmann.net/bad-cop/

Archive director in Germany says ‘missing piece of puzzle’ now in place to verify authorship after decades of research
Two long-lost organ pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach have been performed in Germany, roughly 320 years after the composer wrote them as a teenage music teacher.
Entitled Chaconne in D minor BWV 1178 and Chaconne in G minor BWV 1179, the pieces were added to the official catalogue of Bach’s works on Monday and played in public for the first time in three centuries inside Leipzig’s St Thomas Church, where Bach is buried. Continue reading...

There have been academics, journalists, activists, etc. warning about the problems with LNG export for years, but bad decsions are made when the administration only listens to Big Fossil Fuel execs and lobbyists. Their actions result in more suffering in the US and around the world.
(2/2)
So we have a situation where foreign players are exporting US natural resources for profits which results in Americans paying much higher prices here in the US.
Does everyone facing rising electricity bills know that? I don't think so. Would be great for the media to look into it.
