Out today: “This feels like a very colonialistic action. … Somebody with a lot of money comes into your town, uses up all your resources, does not talk to the people that are there, makes money, and sends it somewhere else.” https://www.texasobserver.org/man-v-nature/ #politics #USpol #pollution #law #environment #ClimateChange #Trump

New from our magazine: In a study of over 300 circuit court decisions on environmental cases made during the #Trump era, more than half ruled in favor of polluters, diminished protections, and limiting the effectiveness of government agencies. https://www.texasobserver.org/man-v-nature/ #politics #USpol #environment #pollution #law #Texas #ClimateChange

@FSairuv On the contrary. Nuclear energy is very safe and one of the most sustainable forms of energy outside solar and wind power. The petition you're referring to talks about budget. While nuclear does have a high initial investment, energy production costs afterwards are incredibly cheap and are a total return on investment over time. I recommend looking at Kyle Hill's channel on YouTube. He is an expert on the matter and has a fun way to talk about nuclear energy. I really enjoy his videos. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCFbtcTaMFnOAP0pFO1L8hVw

@joewynne @NCConnect It also makes fantastic soil for garden beds, mixed 50/50 with manure compost!

That's because these plug-in or balcony solar panels start shaving off part of a homeowner's or renter's utility bill right away.Plug-in solar advocates say that safety concerns about the new technology have been addressed and that utilities are really just worried about losing business, because every kilowatt-hour generated by a plug-in solar panel is one less the utility sells to a customer.#solar #energy #utilities #environment

@aSweetGentleman so long as they don't fuck up the rest of Europe when the frequency goes wobbly

@grrlscientist That's largely because governments are run by men with other priorities - like reducing taxes for the already obscenely wealthy and making money from war.

It took five decades of work, but one of the world’s driest regions is being transformed into a carbon sink. You’ve heard plenty about deforestation. @ScienceAlert provides a more upbeat look at an afforestation project in northwestern China that may add one piece to the puzzle in the fight against climate change:https://flip.it/RS1Ldd#Science #Environment #ClimateChange #China

When U.S. President Donald Trump took office in January 2025, he canceled a first-of-its-kind assessment of the health of nature. The researchers compiled it on their own and have released an 868-page draft for public comment and scientific review. Here's the @newyorktimes story about the Nature Record [gift link]. At the second link, find the draft itself.https://flip.it/L4usEBhttps://naturerecord.org/chapters#Environment #Science #ClimateCrisis

76-year-old Musk supporter Eddie is about to find out that his hero doesn't give a fuck about his #health, or his suggestions.»Some Southaven residents might take issue with Musselwhite’s framing that their critiques are politically motivated. The 76-year-old Eddie Gossett, who lives on the same road as the xAI facility, supported Musk’s initiatives to slash federal spending through DOGE. But even he complains that he can’t sleep because of the roar of the turbines. Gossett had a suggestion for Musk: “You need to come over and stay at my house for a week,” he told NBC.«https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/elon-musk-ai-facility-mordor"#AI" #environment

"The store was a graveyard of recent festivities and a staging ground for the next. In one corner, the bedraggled remains of Valentine’s Day gifts - plush hearts and plastic roses - were being cleared away. In another, Mother’s Day displays were already rising like a strategic invasion.It made me realize that we have allowed the retail industry to colonize our calendar."Link: https://www.resilience.org/stories/2026-03-02/the-cathedral-of-plastic-how-we-manufactured-a-year-of-excess/#Plastic #Environment #Pollution #Consumerism #Sustainability #Capitalism #Community
