    The front page of The New York Times today is so sad and so devastating. Each dot in the middle graph represents one death from Covid-19 in the U.S. The death toll is almost 500,000.

    Spring-like weather here yesterday. after being out for hours, in the afternoon I took off my mask at a park and was overcome by itchy eyes and sneezing… brutal reminder of another key role masks play.

    I wonder if there will be a change in acceptance of taking a sick day? Lots of people don't have paid sick days. Employers are suspicious that employees are malingering. There will be pressure to make it to meetings in person. Not sure that American work culture will adapt

    Not a bad idea for masks to become standard, esp during flu season. Also: staying home when you’re feeling sick. Remember before the pandemic you’d feel a cold coming on, but still go into the office, go to restaurants, etc...? 😱

    An unfathomable toll is nearing in the U.S. — the loss of half a million people to the coronavirus. Each death has left untold numbers of mourners. And each death has left an empty space in communities across America.

    Texas, the nation’s leading energy-producing state, seemed like the last place that could run out of power. But the state, which stayed out of interstate power grids, is now having to answer to millions of residents who were left without lights or heat.

    Fossil fuel interests they are extremely big donors to the Republican party. They maintain GOP discipline by threatening Republicans who support renewables or climate action with lost money and primary challengers. Over time, this shifts the party.

    Why did the Republican Party turn away from renewables? I tackle this in Short Circuiting Policy. Fossil fuel interest groups began actively opposing clean power because it threatened their financial interests. They drove polarization targeting both GOP elites and the public.

    For my book, I interviewed Texan Republicans, Democrats, oil guys + clean energy pioneers. Texas was once leading in wind energy, with GOP support. Now we get lies, from the Gov on down on renewables. What happened? Lessons from Short Circuiting Policy 🧵
