Today on Volts: the subset of cleantech known as "electrotech" -- solar, batteries, heat pumps, etc. -- is marching toward inevitable victory, not because it's low-emissions (though it is), but because it's more efficient & cheaper. I discuss the good news with @kingsmillbond.bsky.social.
Clean electrification is inevitable
Kingsmill Bond explains why the global march of "electrotech" has moved beyond the reach of US political interference.

Some CA legislator should propose a bill to move wildfire mitigation costs out of electricity bills & into the general fund. It's more honest (the whole state is affected), more progressive (electricity bills are *extremely* regressive), & would, at a stroke, lower CA electric bills.

None of this helps the industry btw.
Conflict with wildlife is .02% of livestock loss. Public lands grazing is 2-3% of US beef & is disastrous for wildlife.
The industry is already highly promoted, subsidized and powerful.

Garbage plan from USDA rolling all bad beef policies they can into one:
— expand public lands grazing
— weaken ESA protections for wolves, coyotes, bears
— increase US beef production & demand
— push beef in Dietary Guidelines (influencing school food programs etc)
