When your house is on fire do you save money by not putting it out, only to deal with the far greater expense of homelessness and starvation? And starting the whole neighborhood on fire too? So fucking tired of hearing that getting off coal oil gas is too expensive. We’re homeless if we don’t.

Coal oil and gas is on the way out simply due to economics. The problem is entrenched infrastructure and power will delay the too long normal transition, when we need to speed it. Plus we’re losing tech/ economic leadership. So f*cking stupid for the planet, the country, the economy.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.
This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.
