For me the original revelation came during my 2008 sabbatical when I read about learning curves at the same time as I was reading the IEA's world energy outlook.

Here's a short description of how and why I originally constructed the chart, for those interested.

Birthright citizenship has always been a Black issue. Immigrants & descendants of American slavery. We haven't had full citizenship long. Our citizenship never stopped being conditional & can be snatched. Our ancestors were not deceived they had protection as "real" Americans & we shouldn't be.

No they aren’t. This is garbage right wing monkey talking points.

Family farms love stable solar income.
Solar panel plantations are gobbling up vital American food-producing farmland.
How do Americans remedy this problem, save family farms?
Solar energy and Agriculture are both vital to Americans.

Love that this person shared this organization - this group is a fossil funded cover group that acts like they’re there for ‘responsible’ solar but in reality they’re there to hinder development.

And this group’s talking points align exact with this poster’s talking point.

This is absolutely terrible news.

With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately.

The Houston Chronicle comes out in support of wind & solar on the Texas grid, and kindly requests that the Texas legislature not shoot the state in the dick.
It's hot already!? Thank wind and solar for keeping your AC on.
Renewable energy is getting us through his heat wave. So why is the Legislature trying to sideline these sources. We need an all-of-the-above approach.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.

Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

There is a systematic effort to make the word “Nazi” seem like just another insult wielded by oversensitive libs.

But Elon Musk is not just a Nazi. He’s Dylann Roof in the West Wing hacking America to be more white, patriarchal & violent.

Why it matters.
