It's important to note that it's not a short attention span, it's deliberately not being covered because media has been corrupted by fascist money. It's institutional, and deliberate.

Quick reality check: My car's got a ~75 kWh battery. If that battery put out 1 kW of power, it could run for three days. Get a thousand of those and you have a megawatt of power for three days. Get a million of those and you have a gigawatt of power for three days. Hyundai has sold 250,000

An underappreciated point which I think got forgotten from older discourse is that one of the primary reasons ice needs to be shut down and abolished is that they are indistinguishable from random vigilantes. And that is why now we must all act to protect people.

Here is what I've been doing this past week: git.olaren.dev/Olaren/mapto... A little python program that generates poster for cities! You might have seen stuff like this around lately, but I modified it to put an emphasis on rail infrastructure :3
A picture showing an example output of the program on the city of Montréal and the autumn color scheme. You can see a map of the city with all the roads, trains, subways and light rail. At the bottom there the poster is titled MONTRÉAL - QUÉBEC. The latitude and longitude are also written under the title.A picture showing an example output of the program on the city of Paris and the emerald color scheme. You can see a map of the city with all the roads, trains, subways and light rail. At the bottom there the poster is titled PARIS - FRANCE.

Allow me to connect some dots for you: Too much of the world currently relies for its basic functions on resources which must be continuously extracted. You burn that oil one time and oops, now you need more. Geopolitical horrors are, in fact, one of the reasons we need to move to renewables ASAP.
