More marine mammal bones exposed by negative tide. #FossilFriday #KingTides #LowTide ImageImageImageImage
This fossil bone looks like a 3 foot long scimitar.. maybe a rib fossil bone. ImageImage
Not a scimitar, or rib, but the lower jaw of a whale.
Age suggested at top of thread was off a few million years..
Another chunk of marine mammal fossil. Image

Today we released our permitting reform report! #JustTransition #EnergyJustice 🧵
The report aims to unpack what many folks are lumping into the permitting reform debate, identifying forces that are slowing decarbonization and electrification, and centering environmental justice principles and policy.
The first thing about “permitting reform” is the phrase is used to talk about very different things. I just listened to a podcast about interconnection queues and issues slowing those private contracts and both professionals kept calling for interconnection “permitting reform”! Image

A Brief History of the Pajaro River, my latest, at California Local. californialocal.com/localnews/sant…
The Pajaro Valley has some of the most productive and valuable farmland in the world. Strawberry fields generate almost $100,000 per acre.

The river is the boundary between Santa Cruz and Monterey counties, and Santa Clara and San Benito counties, draining a few more counties; so has long been politically fragmented. It’s a case study in conflict over shared river basins, riparian political conflict.
