Any time we have a discussion about transit service that is entirely based on the framework of austerity, I think about how much money we spend at the local, state and federal level to satiate and subsidize the fossil fuel and car industries’ profits 😭😭😭
I think WSDOT is spending like, 5 BILLION DOLLARS PLUS right now widening highways in King and Pierce counties.
25%+ of Seattle (much less the rest of the roads across the county!) do not have basic infrastructure like sidewalks.
Priorities lol

(yes, we are totally widening our urban highways in the Seattle area too-it's not just Texas)
"...In fact, WSDOT is in active litigation against the contractor for missing the construction deadline. The litigation actually began in 2023 as it became clear the project was falling behind."

For decades, sustainable & responsible cities haven’t just been possible — they’ve been common sense, logical, ridiculously obvious! And yet we’ve failed to act.

Africa's solar power revolution driven by China's investment – DW – 11/25/2025
Chinese solar equipment has been flooding African markets, partly as a ripple effect of the US-China trade war. It's one of several factors helping the continent gain traction with electrification.

The good news is—if the financing can be put in place to wean importers off their imports by building replacement cleantech—the transition entirely pays for itself over time since the feedstocks are free.
More than 90% of new renewable power projects commissioned last year were more cost-effective than any new fossil fuel alternatives.
Those renewables projects will save tens of billions of dollars in fossil-fuel costs
