For those of you deeply concerned about where we are headed with climate change but maybe don’t know how to get involved in the fight, this is a great podcast to get started with. #climateemergency #fossilfree #climatechange

Today on Volts: opponents of renewable energy have been organizing to block it at the local level, with disturbing success. Now an org called Greenlight America is organizing supporters, tipping them off to important siting/permitting fights & arming them with good information.

Organizing local support for clean energy projects

Meet the organization helping communities say "yes" to clean energy

FINAL: Mariners 3, Tigers 2

The Seattle Mariners are headed to the ALCS for the first time since 2001 and will face Toronto after Jorge Polanco walked off Detroit in the 15th inning. It was the longest winner-takes-all playoff game in MLB history. Amazing night, amazing series.

What kind of game is this? Three of the four starting pitchers this series for both teams have pitched in it.

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

I’m about to move on and enjoy my Thanksgiving weekend but Carney is- and I’m not exaggerating- the most disappointing PM of my lifetime and we are less than 6 months in.

The NDP remains an absolute mess but it’s going to be REAL easy for progressives to decide how to vote next election.

Dawn Farrell, the former CEO of Trans Mountain who now leads the federal government's Major Projects Office was asked whether the oil pipeline contributes to the fight against climate change.

After last week’s Doubs extension reports, this week I plant my flag that we are 3 *barely* missed plays from Golden being the leading WR for the Packers (yards).

I still think a radicalized billionaire seizing the nerve center of American politics (Twitter) is the biggest story of this century

Liberal Currents @liberalcurrents.com · 21h

“The problem with billionaires isn’t that they’re hoarding money that would otherwise pay for a Scandinavian social utopia. It’s that their money has become a source of wildly distorted political power that allows a few men with extremist views to wreak havoc on the rest of us.”

Billionaires Are Hoarding Power, Not Money

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

SCOOP: The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada — the Esmeralda 7 mega-farm — has been canceled

The news was quietly dropped via a sudden website update with no public word from any of the companies involved or a statement from the agency

Esmeralda 7 Solar Project Has Been Canceled, BLM Says

It would have delivered a gargantuan 6.2 gigawatts of power.
