The primary energy fallacy is the idea that all primary energy from fossil fuels must be replaced with an equivalent amount of clean energy.
BUT: This is not necessary because conversion losses do not need to be replaced. More than 2/3 of all primary energy is lost as waste heat.

Would be good if there was some way to turn Bluesky into a nonprofit or a cooperative owned by its users.
This goes without saying, but it’s entirely possible that this site could end up being another Twitter story depending on who ends up funding/owning it. There are already concerning realities about its money and their connections/intentions.
Can wealthy supporters of democracy PLEASE GET INVOLVED?

Food systems are the #2 contributor to climate change, the #1 driver of deforestation, the #1 driver of biodiversity loss on land, and the #1 user of freshwater.
(It follows that food systems contain many solutions to these problems.)
