The proposed EPA tailpipe rules have turned up the volume on climate denier/doomer misinformation to 11. Centrists are naysaying it. Truth is we NEED to do this. Shooting for the stars is the right approach. 67% by 2032. It’s called a goal. Get on board!

You should know that the widespread use of fragrances may actually be doing more harm than good for society. It might be keeping us from finding the right lasting relationships. Stay with me here...

The idea of a smart homes emerged decades ago as a way to take advantage of time of use energy pricing in a world powered by variable renewables. It has since been co-opted by Google, Amazon etc as a way to collect consumer data.
It didn’t have to be this way and with better public sector leadership (rather than private sector exploitation), time of use passive demand management still has great potential.

This is an honest assessment of #Bitcoin PoW based on the actual present impacts, not a potential future. See Section VIII for responses to enviro arguments in favor of PoW. My main critique is that they don't even address the idea of landfill CH4 mining. earthjustice.org/sites/default/…

We should stop trying to scare people into climate action. Some people don't want to be told the world is ending. They stop listening.
Desire is a stronger motivating force to enact climate policy, public investment, and environmental regulation. 🧵 1/7
Instead of gloom and doom we should focus on painting the picture of how great the world will be when copious energy is harnessed for free from the sun. When our food is fresh from regional regenerative farms. 2/7
