Whatever your position on climate and energy policy, you're doing yourself a disservice if not tracking the arguments of Michael Liebreich and the data underpinning them.
Noel reminds me of my dear departed friend Pete Seeger in two ways - his determination never to sit on laurels, continuing to make and foster community-minded music, and his passion for societal betterment using all means at one's disposal, and at levels from global to hyperlocal. This newsletter with Jeanne Torrence Finley is helping spread that spirit and capacity. More on my time with Pete here: https://bit.ly/revkinsmusic
I got to know the poet Andrei Codrescu as a guest in my occasional musical revues in Beacon NY and then through the COVID years on my Sustain What webcasts. He's restorative, funny, biting, and exudes humanity. Get a taste in this chat I had with Andrei and Evan Greer on AI and rights and poetry: https://revkin.substack.com/p/updated-exploring-the-spread-of-artificial?utm_source=publication-search
Zeke H and Andrew D are doing a solid service by wading through climate data and offering distillations and interpretations amid the online smog. I use their output like a sailor used a sextant to gauge a position using stars and a reliable clock. The more sights you take, the more likely you'll have a decent estimate of where you are. My Lines of position post is relevant: https://revkin.substack.com/p/lines-of-position-navigating-the-21-09-28
The insights emerging from Lissa's fine energy and climate reporting in the Catskills resonate far and wide. Hope you'll keep track and support financially if you can afford to do so.
Michael Thomas has been deep digging on a vital frontier - strategically amplified sources of inertia at the local level that can threaten climate progress even with tens of billions of dollars now in the pipeline for clean energy. I hope you'll join me in spreading and supporting his work.
