But super cool the buffoons in the White House think coal is the answer.
🇨🇳 Every second, China bolts down ~100 solar panels. H1 2025: 67% of global solar already. And before decade’s end, China’s solar capacity ALONE will eclipse the whole US grid. The first true electrostate is here—rising at hyperscale, rewriting energy history in real time. ⚡☀️ #Solar #EV #Energy #BESS

At a comedy show, Mahmoud Khalil told Zohran Mamdani, “I am excited about the possibility of raising my son in a city where you are mayor.” It was a stunning moment, Hanif Abdurraqib writes.

The FBI…..is investigating authors of the Paris agreement……….. yikes!!
From a source: “Just had a co-presenter for a buildings research conference bow out. She’s a dual citizen and the FBI came knocking to ask her about her involvement in coauthoring chunks of the Paris Agreement.
Climate science is being literally (and I mean literally) criminalized.”

It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.

Venus is a step closer.
We're launching the first private Venus mission to search for signs of microbial life. The probe’s heatshield, vital for protecting it during its journey through Venus’ atmosphere, recently passed a fit check at NASA's Ames Research Center.

My new subscription to @wired.com is really paying off tbh - I highly recommend getting one yourself if possible, we need to be sending concrete economic signals to all media outlets that this is the type of reporting we value
I had the privilege of talking to @apnews.com about WIRED's Elon Musk and politics coverage.
Most important thing: We're not slowing down, we're not stopping, and we're going to cover this story, relentlessly, for as long as we need to.

Not known for political coverage, Wired takes a leading role in tracking Elon Musk's team
The tech outlet Wired set up a new politics team in time for the presidential election — but its most impactful work is coming after the election is over.

Loss of the REAP program is going to gut the entire agricultural/rural economy in #NY 😳
Craig Strong recently installed a new, more efficient grain dryer on his farm; it was supposed to be funded, in part, by a federal program to reduce the need for fossil fuels in rural communities.
Now, he and other farmers aren't sure they'll be paid back.

Many farmers already paid for equipment that the federal government said it would reimburse. Now, it’s unclear when or if they’ll get that money.

Time for a change
Time should be a first-class citizen in geospatial. In many ways, measuring change might always have been geospatial's killer app. But are we giving time enough structured attention?

Anytime a storm is brewing, your local forecasters are getting the latest data from NOAA. As the agency faces an uncertain future, one thing's for sure: for-profit companies would struggle to replicate NOAA's weather-forecasting prowess.
