In China & India, the growth in electricity demand has "decoupled" from the growth in fossil fuels. The next step is for fossil fuel demand to plateau & head down, even as economic growth continues. Should happen in the next few years. Believe me, when it happens you'll hear some cheering.

Among Jimmy Carter's many contributions were his efforts to eradicate the Guinea worm, a parasite which causes excruciating pain.

When he started his work, there were 3.5 million cases globally. In 2024, there were seven.

He didn't quite get his wish of outliving it, but he came pretty damn close.

Across the country we're going to see a continued destruction of higher education, criminalization of women's healthcare and abortion access, and attacks on trans rights.

We, as Berkeley, as the Bay Area, and as California need to build housing so we can welcome red state refugees with open arms.
