What does Abundance offer to the local car dealers who are getting wiped out from direct to consumer car sales ?

I’m opening the Abundance book and my first thought is why is a book that 2 people wrote for 2 years is only 250 pages long ?

Is the book short because people don’t read anymore?

Tbh a San Francisco based non-profit charging 200$/month for a product China makes for next to nothing should not surprise anyone

American AI labs talk big game about AI discovering new materials but they spend most of their time on ad optimization and SaaS

Chinese AI labs may actually discover new materials as physical innovation is a priority of the CCP

It insane that @bsky.app is labeling this as "intolerance." A very bad sign for the future of this app's approach to content moderation.

The Hunter Biden pardon will not age well.

Pete Buttigieg could make a bold move by resigning as Transportation Secretary in protest, positioning himself as a principled leader for 2028.
December 2, 2024 at 6:14 PM
Nate’s 100% right. There’s zero downside for 2028 hopefuls to criticize the Hunter pardon—plus it shows they’re not scared of an intra-coalition fight. Exactly the kind of course correction Biden failed to make.

While we’re still doing 2024 post-mortem, here’s a take:

Voters would’ve liked Kamala Harris more if Biden had picked her as VP without announcing he was only considering Black women

I’d love an Odd Lots episode on what happened to Northvolt and implications for Europe’s electrification. @weisenthal.bsky.social @tracyalloway.bsky.social
Northvolt files for bankruptcy, CEO quits
Europe’s “green dream” Northvolt has filed for bankruptcy protection in the US after a rescue package failed to go through, leaving the battery maker with just one week’s worth of cash in the account.

I used to buy wine at Target thinking I was saving money, then I walked into Trader Joe’s and realized Target’s been robbing me.

I understand why Biden wants to do all he can to help Ukraine before January 20, but waiting to supply anti-personnel landmines only after the North Koreans start fighting for Russia is not a good look.
Biden Agrees to Supply Ukraine With Anti-Personnel Mines
The decision is the latest in a series of moves by the U.S. and Russia that have escalated tensions between the two.

Top 25 companies by installed solar capacity from the 2024 Solar Means Business Report.

The big tech/data center companies at the top are no surprise but Walmart, Target and Home Depot should get more credit for rapidly installing solar
November 20, 2024 at 5:28 PM
The 2024 Solar Means Business report is a doozy!

“In 2019, the top 10 corporations accounted for 2.3 GW of installed solar. Now the top 10 corporations account for 16.8 GW, roughly the same installed solar capacity as the state of Florida”

Don’t preemptively block right wingers!

If Trump screws up like we think he will, the bluesky-curious right wingers will switch sides

I still think about how Congressional Progressive Caucus sunk permitting reform in 2022 because they didn’t want to give Mountain Valley pipeline to Manchin and then Manchin got it just 6 months later for nothing.
