More good news out of Colorado- renewables continue to provide a small majority of electric generation, keeping the majority of our power here emission free. 💡🔌 #energysky bigpivots.com/renewables-c...

Renewables continue to gain in Colorado - Big Pivots

A dip in percentage during July, but still responsible for 53.3% of electricity in Colorado in 2026

Flying into Phoenix and then driving to Flagstaff for a work thing tomorrow. Also apparently flying into a potential flooding situation due to hurricane remnants blowing into the SW, so wish me luck I guess. Last time I flew into a hurricane it was in Orlando, so this is different (weird).

We gotta start referring to data centers by both their mother and father's last names, Spain style. The Microsoft-Chevron data center, the Meta-ExxonMobil data center, and so forth. Absolutely no reason just the tech bros should be taking the heat on this shit

About 5% of US households heat with oil, mostly in rural areas and the Northeast. At these heating oil prices, a new heat pump pays for itself in oil cost savings in just a few years - and does double duty as a new central air conditioner. I hope that 5% becomes 0% this winter.

HUGE UPDATE: we halted Amazon's panel at Climate Week. We shut it down so hard that every guest and every speaker had to leave the premises. No one was able to return. Their whole event lasted less time than their warehouse workers' pee break.

We could have chosen to invest in a clean energy future and save ourselves from the runaway climate feedbacks we were causing. Instead we chose to take that money and spend it on a fun machine that might kill us even faster. Collectively we’re like a meth addict with a gambling problem basically.

I used to be on the top 10 Substack climate newsletters list. The company I was surrounded by - Pilke, Alex Epstein, the other deniers Ketan lists - are why I left for Ghost. Bonus, I keep more of my income and it doesn’t support nazis or climate deniers.

Seeing this permanent snowfield melt out feels personal to me. It was one of the first hikes I did in Colorado when I moved here the first time in 2007. Another summer I visited to snowboard to complete a personal goal of snowboarding for at least 12 months in a row. It’s very sad that it’s gone.

I have become such a fan of the Norwegian Consumer Council recently. They don't just do these cool vids, the reports are actually really detailed and insightful and oddly strongly written (for a gov't agency, particularly in Norway). Also not fatalist at all www.forbrukerradet.no/breakingfree/

In the new report Breaking Free: Pathways to a fair technological future, the Norwegian Consumer Council has delved into enshittification and how to resist it.

“USAID was unparalleled in its scope and scale. For climate and the environment alone it gave $1 billion annually, the report said. The agency tended to write large grants that lasted years, which the people interviewed said allowed them to build programs they couldn’t with other types of funding.”

As a broke young reporter, I used to work at the Watergate and spent many an evening at the free Kennedy Center concerts at the Millennium Stage. I had to stay in DC my first Christmas and went to the Kennedy Center free jazz concert. These kinds of events are so fun and vital. This sucks.

we don’t teach young people short-term history, so it was weird when i realized that gen z had no idea that so many gen x and millennials spent our high school years protesting george w bush and not just because of the wars, but because mosques were being targeted and sikh men were being attacked

HOLY SHIT DUDES fucking with the environment is now not just a sin (which Francis also said), it is classed as a direct fuck-you to God and a central tenet of the reasoning is the need to care for "our common home," i.e. you are morally obligated to think about the other people who also live here
