Remember guys, you canโt afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.
Thatโs why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.
The dealer needs to keep you addicted.

Last week, we launched the world's ultimate guide to climate solutions -- the Drawdown Explorer.
People thought we were nuts to give it (and all the underlying data) away for free. But we insisted.
During a crisis, you don't put crucial data behind a paywall.
I haven't read Bill's book yet, but I've listened to him on a bunch of podcasts. I'm in line for it at my library. ๐โ๏ธ
A powerhouse review by Cory Doctorow of solar's amazing potential (and Bill's new book), but also a warning about how it could be enshittified by the rent-seekers. A GREAT read!! โ๏ธ
I'm excited about this trend! Wouldn't it be cool if it could spread as quickly and successfully in the US as it has in Germany and Pakistan?
I found this video very moving. I feel the Bern. โฅ๏ธ youtu.be/RP8Oxe6OxJc?... And I learned the term "red neck" came from coal country union activism!

I just read about Rex Mann, an American chestnut revivalist, who died July 2, at aged 81. It led me to his Ted Talk. www.ted.com/talks/rex_ma...
Beautiful. ๐ Thanks @rhettayersbutler.bsky.social
I love that @billmckibben.bsky.social is buoyed by music. Might be time to revisit the Climate Choir. ๐ค๐ต๐ Will add "Here Comes the Sun" to the repertoire! โ๏ธ
A little spark of delight this morning when two voices/creators I follow intersected for a moment. Today's @pkrugman.bsky.social newsletter musical recommendation was @jackconte.bsky.social 's band! youtu.be/piTvLuHWLyg?...
According to a Navy spokesperson I spoke with, the 11th hour decision to keep data flowing from the three weather satellites was due to critical feedback it received. A testament that our voices and concerns do very much matter. My full afternoon update โฌ๏ธ
