Climate Solutions: New Grid Rules and Big Bison

I don’t remember when I stumbled on Beau – he describes himself as a southern journalist and his takes are thoughtful – but this morning there was this nugget I was unaware of, so I went searching for more information. This is why I’m posting a quick hit climate post this morning before I run…

Climate Solutions: Beavers Doing Beaver Things

Okay, there are a lot of beaver videos here. Some general information, but most are how ordinary folks are changing their habits to rewild their land. I find that the most encouraging.  Gnaw away at this post as you have time.   This guy has a great intro into all things Beaver and Climate: Nov…

Climate Solutions: Upgrading the Energy Grid

A reminder as we come up on Earth Day: Climate scientist Michael E Mann & historian Timothy D Snyder define doomerism: Doomerism is how we fail to fight for ourselves & one another. It is how authoritarians win. Let’s try to fight the doom. I’m going to start this post out with a caveat, while I’ve been a…

Climate Solutions: Debunking EV and Battery Myths

Despair only limits future action – Simon Clark ========== This is going to be a quick hit, but I know I got a little cranky in the last post with some of the persistent myths around EVs, so these two videos are a good at debunking those myths. Join Quentin Willson and Dr. Euan McTurk…

Postive Climate News: Good People Doing Good Things

There will be a couple more videos on regenerative farming practices from the Carbon Cowboys series and a few other videos on other topics. I will branch out to other technology going forward, but…

Postive Climate News: Carbon Cowboys and Regenerative Farming

As I wrote previously, I want to start combining our good news posts with climate solutions. I want to highlight good people doing good things in regard to the climate crisis. It’s important to know, despite what is often a deluge of bad news on the climate, good things are happening. I’ll be highlighting regenerative…

Climate Solutions: EVs and Battery Technology

I’ve been following this New Zealander recently – mainly because his hobby is restoring old cars and turning them into EVs – it’s pretty simple, in the scheme of things. Probably easier and less costly than restoring an old combustion engine. From there, I found out he also reviews EV cars in New Zealand –…

Happy Earth Day 2023!

I attended a training on the Inflation Reduction Act incentives. I’ll share what I took from it over the course of a few posts. One thing that I didn’t realize but was pleased to see is that many of the incentives are geared toward environmental justice: Advancing Environmental Justice Through the Inflation Reduction Act, EPA…

Climate Solutions: The Inflation Reduction Act Bill Passage

This is a Biden Big Fucking Deal. To understand it, I went to the experts I trust to tell it like it is: Of all the questions I've gotten about the IRA, the most bizarre is: "is it enough?" Asking that question betrays a fundamental misunderstanding of climate change. Nothing we do in our lifetimes–individual…
