democrats lose a heartbreaking race to a former presidential loser. there's a large working class shift on them — and it's largely on cultural issues. some counsel moving right on culture, others say they should embrace young voters. a synthesis arrives: populism

i wanted to open up a disccussion here. this is not a postive post about elon musk, and yet the most common response i got was that i was making a mistake because "elon musk is not an engineer."
If not an engineer, what is he? an engineering manager?
What makes someone an engineer, a degree?

Really smart by @aldasky.bsky.social to which I'd add a comparative point about the US and China. Chinese emissions has plateaued, the US have fallen since 2007. The reason is the same: it's politically and technologically much easiser to reduce coal's place in the energy system than other fuels

thanks for reading and engaging with the piece. I'd just add that the Biden White House itself constantly touted the red-district jobs, but I do agree with out that the investment locations was to some degree an emergent phenomenon (as tax credits necessarily would be)

When the TVA has an SMR project under a Democratic administration, it will produce clean, emissions-free power; when that same project is moving under a Republican administration, it will produce energy dominance
