  When the "Are we the baddies?" ship has sailed and you know it.

  What's the deal with portable solar panels? Context: I'm looking to move further into the Mexican countryside (I'd be renting a house) where I'm told power outages are more frequent. I'm debating between no-break/UPS battery vs a proper #OffGrid setup vs a #PortableSolar setup. An off-grid setup seems formidably expensive, especially for a rented house, but does it make sense to get a portable battery + panel from, say, #Ecoflow (I see they have options in Mexico)? Their po...

  I'm no media strategist, but I'm surprised how consistently we let bad-faith actors (or those whose opinions have been shaped by bad-faith actors) define the terms of the conversation across a range of topics. Consider renewable energy and the need to move away from burning fossil fuels. "But global warming is a hoax. We're going through a winter storm right now!" ❌ The moment you begin to respond to the "global warming" bit with fac...

All those protests outside Tesla showrooms and the social stigmatization of owning a Tesla have shown the world's biggest hoarder of money what we think when an unelected technocrat with ulterior motives takes a...

  If this is what the place of the king (the etymological roots of the Hindi word for capital city, rajdhani) looks like, what hope is there for the rest of us? But I'm sure #AI will solve air pollution. But to get there we must first let it melt glaciers, and achieve "intelligence sovereignty". No, that's definitely not marketing spin for "let's build data centres in the third world, with the world's largest population centres, minimal r...
