In that moment, I saw before me — with an inner tremor — the path that too many of my neighbors had taken. Without steady, decently paying employment, they took on physically demanding day labor, got hurt, relied on painkillers and slid into a downward spiral.

I've definitely become more of a 'learn news from the feed' person in the last few years.
NYT's 10 minute 'headline' audio on the morning dog walk is a good antidote to that. Plus then I usually follow up with an audio version of one of their bigger articles.

Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:
In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.
In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.
