"In an authoritarian context, all journalism will tend toward propaganda unless it is explicitly formulated as anti-authoritarian. Unless an institution is explicitly designed to counter authoritarianism, it will end up aiding the authoritarians."

The Washington Post and CBS News are dying. The Bulwark is the future.

Wind and solar smash grid market-share records, even after heavy curtailment

The more wind and solar we build, the cheaper electricity gets

If we build more renewables, add the batteries, stop burning stuff, electricity gets cheaper.

Once renewables consistently surpass ~50% of supply, wholesale market prices fall below $100/MWh"

The goal is to build much, much more than just 50% renewables
