Great work on oil and gas industry lies about "routine" flaring. “It’s a deliberate greenwash that establishes a target that’s meaningless,” says Richard Ward, a former Shell sustainability manager.... "Those loopholes are so big that they don’t have to do anything.” Gift link. Please read.

A fun fact about neutrinos is that they come in three “flavors” (types) and also in three masses and you would think that this means each flavor has its own mass and you would be absolutely wrong about that.

Will the permit certainty (Title IV) actually help renewables? If so, how? Will it lock in Trump preferred projects for future presidents? If not, why not?

Remarkable: an industry that is dying because it can't compete in the market writes a Republican president, asking him to keep the industry alive by brute force, and he says, ok. What would it take for the GOP to lose its reputation as the "free market" party? Seriously, what would it take?

This is a big deal. In the coming days, a huge pulse of ocean energy from El Niño is set to reach San Diego and move north. It will raise sea levels here by half a foot or more, and they could stay high for months. It comes just as our tides hit their peak and storm season picks up.

I like this notetaking example. it is a good case of how gender works. Notetaking has never been about producing a transcript. It is a bureaucratic skill in the 20th c. organixarion because it is SENSEMAKING. Those women socialized to take notes? They have been doing men’s metacognition for them
