I've had a Lightning for 2.5 years and 40,000 miles (charging w rooftop solar). It's been a great tool for us. But... Our other vehicle is a PHEV van, and that's the vehicle that seems like a much easier gateway towards EV adoption for most.

You can’t see me bc I’m holding a flag but guys I live in a 2k person extremely rural town in one of the reddest counties of WI. So many people showed up there was a line all the way to the highway. I often feel a bit afraid due to my identity in this area but #nokings brought out so many

Incredible. And it feels great knowing we helped start this momentum in Wisconsin earlier this week. Proud of my home state and everyone standing up across the country!

Thanks Canadians! That sounds familiar to this American... Hopefully your country has learned very quickly from what's happened here in the last 2 months. I know the whole world will be dealing with our mess for years (decades?) to come. A "do no harm" approach to government sounds so lovely now.

Ok, educate me a bit (if you're willing). How do you and other progressive thinkers in Canada feel about this guy? I've just started learning about him. Other Canadians can chime in too, but Ian's opinion is #1 for me 😁

They are great for taking care of food waste and turning it into eggs & manure for gardening. We've had birds over the last 11 yrs, so we're ready for this moment. But telling people to go out and start from scratch (pun intended) bc prices are high rn is silly. Do it for the sustainability

Max Wolter @maxofthenorth.bsky.social · 04/03/2025

It takes quite a while to break even, given all the expenses with getting started. So people doing this in response to the current high prices will be even deeper in the hole and disappointed. Soooo, not very good advice!

Be somewhere else doing positive things that will grab attention. Be at food shelves helping people who can't afford groceries. Meet w laid off fed employees. Play basketball at the boys and girls club. Etc. Pull the media attention in all these other directions and highlight the difference.

Cleaning this up and still getting two kids to hockey (pretty much) on time and unharmed was the parenting equivalent of a double black diamond.

I help manage and study fisheries in Wisconsin, with the goal of making fishing better. It would be impossible without federal colleagues, partnerships, programs, funding, and regulations. Here’s a small sampling of what they do. Let’s not discard every cog and wheel without understanding their role

Same! That feels like it could have easily been avoided!

No. I don't want to meet them

Photo choices for financial reporting really tell the whole story. If the guy is touching his face or forehead, it's bad.

A plug in hybrid might be a great intermediate option. The electric more will likely cover about 80% of your local and around town driving, while the combustion engine is still there when needed. Great way to reduce emissions in an area that's not perfect for EVs (yet)

It's a real thing (northern WI EV driver here), but maybe not as scary as it's made out to be. When it's 0 or -5 our range reduces from around 350 to 250 mi. Hasn't stopped us from driving it a ton and saving a lot of money. We rarely have to charge at public chargers

Thank you to Wisconsin for naming roads with letters and making intersections like this possible.

Max Wolter @maxofthenorth.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

When I put the kids on the bus I often ask the driver "How are the roads today?". And man, let me tell you, people just LOVE even the smallest acknowledgement of their own expertise. We're besties at this point.

These are great! For #3, are there guides or resources? I remember years ago seeing a ranking of all the brands of tuna fish based on sustainability and fishing practices. It changed how we shopped to this day. Can we get that for... everything? And then use that to pressure companies on climate?

Max Wolter @maxofthenorth.bsky.social · 22/01/2025

@katharinehayhoe.com do you have ideas on how we can pressure corporations for climate action? Seems like the only thing that will still be true over the next 4 years is "money talks". How do we turn climate voters into climate consumers to get corporations to change? Thx

Thank you for this. Replanted a little seed of hope while I was spiraling. Shared w a friend too and I think it netted @defector.bsky.social a sub

-11F in our corner of WI, yet the EV is doing just fine (one of the more frequent questions I get). The road salt caked on everything is a bit of a problem though. The truck looks like a pretzel.

Please don't let Trump kill EPM. We need it to get through.
