Low-carbon energy does not have the same energy security risks as fossil fuels Fossil fuel inequities are a risk to energy security. Mineral inequities are a risk to the energy transition.

still true, still important.

"you might stumble over a whole collective of people resisting in ways you didn't think of. There's a crew of carpenters just going around fixing kicked-in doors. There are tow truck drivers taking cars of detained people away for free...."

"There's Nothing I Enjoy More Than Acting In The Theater" - Ian McKellen EXTENDED INTERVIEW
"There's Nothing I Enjoy More Than Acting In The Theater" - Ian McKellen EXTENDED INTERVIEW YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

I’m having a hard time thinking of an interview between two human beings I enjoyed more than tonight’s interview of the great Ian McKellen by the great Stephen Colbert. Every moment of it was a pleasure that I highly recommend… but then came the most REMARKABLE ending that you really HAVE to watch.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:

In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.

In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

Albertans can get COVID-19 vaccinations for free in B.C. | CBC News People who don’t qualify for free COVID-19 vaccinations in Alberta can get one in British Columbia, the province’s ministry of health confirmed with CBC News.

"Any publicly funded immunization in B.C. can be provided at no cost to any Canadian travelling within the province," a statement from the ministry said.

Nice to know that BC has our backs, even when our own government does not.

Sharing this with my students so I figured I'd also share it with everyone here.

Hopefully this image is still relevant given Google's changes. Save this on your computer or phone and refer to it as needed.
