    Sooner still. Crisis vastly driven by rich luxuries Are they worth wrecking your wrecking your kids' life chances? ht

    Today is my 40th birthday! We have a 5 yr old. When he's 40, the planet will be assaulted by floods, melted arctic sea ice, constant new pandemics, and parts of the US, Africa, and Australia will be uninhabitable. I’m choosing a different future for him.

    A Great American Electrification story... brought to you by !

    So, replacing methane gas in homes is hard... maybe? The rooftop gas-powered unit for my Brooklyn apartment conked, permanently. Huge capital expense, and since I rent the place, I needed to fix it quick. A short and warming story about heat pumps 1/

    Time for the Republican Governor to go on trial in front of all the people he poisoned in Flint Michigan.

    Former Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder will face a criminal trial in the same community where his decisions allegedly contributed to the lead exposure of roughly 100,000 Flint residents.

    Scorch the earth, then, Mitch. Oh wait. Scorched Earth is what will literally happen if we don’t circumscribe the filibuster and pass aggressive climate legislation.

    2:08
    Senate Dems represent 41 million more Americans than GOP but Mitch McConnell wants 41 GOP senators representing just 21% of country to be able to filibuster laws like HR1 supported by huge majorities of Americans

    🚨 🚨 🚨 HEAT PUMP THREAD ON customers REMOVING FOSSIL FUELS from their buildings. . We can beat the climate crises and economic crises of enough buildings hire locally to decarbonize!!!

    First, a stroke of luck: tenants love the idea of switching to a heat pump. They're even willing to heat the house with electric units for a bit while I sort things out. Yay! More luck, the HVAC guy I've used for repairs before says he can do a heat pump no problem. Yay! 2/
