Incrementalism in the face of a climate catastrophe.

Quote Tweet

The announcement came just hours after the Senate approved a bipartisan semiconductor/tech package. Republicans had threatened to block that bill if Democrats moved ahead with a climate & tax bill, which they, like many Democrats, thought was dead. wsj.com/articles/joe-m @WSJ

Quite a tweet from Volkswagen's CEO [translated from German]: "In overcrowded urban centers, the car - including the emission-free e-car - will only be accepted in the future if the bike has enough space in the mobility mix."

Radfahren macht Spaß, ist gesund und gut für die Umwelt. In überfüllten urbanen Zentren wird das Auto - auch das emissionsfreie E-Auto - zukünftig nur dann akzeptiert, wenn das Rad genug Raum im Mobilitätsmix hat. linkedin.com/posts/herbertd
