All about fighting for climate justice. Happy to nerd out on the clean energy transition, cityscapes for people not cars, and way too many other things. Need an occasional baby animal video for sanity.

Back on my Ethanol soapbox - Even under some generous assumptions, electrifying just 3.6% of the current gasoline-powered fleet would free up enough land to power EVs replacing the entire gasoline fleet with solar.
