Environment, books, and legal stuff are my thing. Mid-life JD and dang proud. It’s never too late. Unless you’re dead, but even then …who knows? (lettertoalison at the old place)

While this admin argues that federal law should govern greenhouse gases, it also argues that the Clean Air Act greenhouse gas finding should be struck and that the CAA does not cover GHG.

Attorneys who work in climate litigation need to (1) make better use of climate attribution science and (2) address the legal standards of causation, which are at odds with scientific standards. Glad to see attribution modeling continuing to improve!

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."
I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

By A Horse

Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food.

I am thinking I would like to try cake.

Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape.

Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy.

Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much.

I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You  know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on."

Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

The US average price to charge an EV at home is equivalent to paying $1.57 per gallon of gas. That's a 62% discount on today's gas price. Explore the savings in all 50 states - interactive map at the link below ⤵️ yaleclimateconnections.org/2026/04/what... @climateconnections.bsky.social
A map of the USA with states shaded various colors of green. Darker colors show states where charging an EV is cheaper, such as North Dakota, Idaho, Nebraska, and Missouri. Pale green colors show states where charging an EV is more expensive, such as Hawaii, Massachusetts, California, and Maine. In every state, home charging an EV is much cheaper than gasoline.

Living in Scandinavia, I find myself morbidly fascinated by American progressives' inability to understand—or acknowledge—that the secret to a healthy, functioning welfare state is broad middle-class buy-in. Everyone pays something—some more than others; everyone gets something—some more than others

🚨 SF area! (And anyone who can share). @friendsofbear.bsky.social (feederofcats) over on Twitter needs your help! Adopt! Spread the word!
Quote tweeted tweet
New tweet:
“Friends of Bear Cat Rescue @feeder... •2h
We are now forced to close intake and not help anymore cats until we find homes for the adoptable cats in our care. We literally have no more space and I'm having to say no to cats who will die without us.
all these kittens are still here.
Please share.
SF Bay Area”
Quoting older tweet:
“Friends of Bear Cat Rescue • 3/1/26
SF BAY AREA
it makes me very sad that we still have 8 perfect, healthy big kittens growing up mostly in an enclosure here at the rescue.
They should be cuddling on someone's lap, zooming around, being happy babies.
Soon they'll be a year old and still sitting here, waiting” [pictures of adorable kittens]

This is amazing. When the government kills a crucial report, independent scientists decide to write it anyway and release it outside of government channels. That’s science serving society, even when our political leaders don’t.
