This is trickle down economics:

Amazon makes billions and receives massive tax breaks from the Big Bullshit Bill then turns around and lays off 30,000 employees.

This appears to be what the “drill baby drill” crowd thinks can happen. 🤦‍♂️

More uncomfortable facts left out of the TV series, Landman:

The fossil fuels industry is the largest subsidies reciepient in human history.

(Ironic given anti-renewables people love to clamor about renewables subsidies 🤦‍♂️)

Uncomfortable facts left out of the movie Landman:

The oil industry uses solar to power their oil fields, and it’s cheaper 😏

What a great story: offshore wind turbines are being used for their biodiversity addition by growing seaweed on lines between turbines.

While the wind turbines generate clean energy, seaweed grows & helps regenerate the surrounding marine environment, while absorbing CO2 & excess nutrients.

Huge historic turning point — Renewables surpassed coal as the world’s leading electricity source for the first half of 2025!

Having sex is now an act of pollution.

Thanks fossil fuel industry!

Revolutionary new dryer that runs entirely off of wind and solar energy, making it Energy Star rated and coming in at a cost point of nearly free!

If you ever wanted to know whether the US just offloads it’s plastic waste problem, here’s your sign (literally).

I took this picture at my local recycling facility just now.

It’s been 100+ years since the salmon have run up the Klamath River as they are now, due to the largest dam-removal project in U.S. history.

If we just quit beating #nature down, it will show us how resilent it is and return to producing the abundance & beauty inherent in it…

Solar glass development is progressing: researchers achieved new solar windows with an optical efficiency of 18.1%.

The glass is coated with cholesteric liquid crystal, which opens up the ability to apply the technology to normal windows, which is big!

Not only does clean energy save lives, it can be epicly beautiful — I’m here at Snoqualiie Falls, where hydroelectric clean energy is churned out around the clock.

Solar EV tech is coming, and I’m all for it. Telo Trucks plans to launch a $40,000 truck as soon as next year that can get 15 - 40 miles of range a day from the sun alone.

Considering the avg US driver drives 37 miles day, millions could largely kick gasoline to the curb.

Finally! This solar canal is fully live, and it has many benefits:

— saves water, by reducing evaporation
— avoids land use for solar
— it’s easy to connect to the grid
— provides clean energy
— more effiicent production: the water cools the panels

This is a no-brainer project.

Controversial view: one requirement to be in position to run FEMA should be that you know there is a hurricane season in the United States.

Rent here in the Bay Area of California is north of $3,000 a month but if I was an oil company, I can lease federal land for $10 per acre (or even less).

When art & solar collide: purportedly the first rainbow colored solar array in the world!

The ‘rainbow’ solar panels (by Megasol Energie) are accomplished by coating the inside of the panel to create targeted light refraction, thereby creating desired colors.

Solar & wind energy ALONE have provided 100% of the electricity to meet ALL of California’s demand since 8am - present (5pm), and will do so until 6pm.

That’s 10 hours straight of just two types of renewables meeting demand for a state with 39 million people, 1.2 million EVs & 4 millions business.

Depends on what you view a lot to be.

California has about 15-16 GW of energy storage in 2025.

We have our issues here in California but it’s also true that we’ve made some immense strides to advance a clean energy grid.

It’s at 10:30pm here, we were still supplying our grid with 72% clean energy. That’s after servicing for peak demand and hours past sundown.
