Thanks to @thewaroncars.bsky.social for an awesome night hosted by @pvdstreets.bsky.social! I loved all of the maps showing how people get outside and meet their neighbors more when they aren't dependent on cars.
Reminded me of how I need to get outside more. We have pretty great neighbors here.

What will our life after cars be and how will we get there? Ebikes? Congestion charges? Depaving? How about the lot? @thewaroncars.bsky.social @pvdstreets.bsky.social

Something to be thankful for!
Utah's largest coal-fired power plant—the Intermountain Power Project, located in the west desert near Delta and serving southern California—stopped burning coal at mid-day on Wednesday, just in time for Thanksgiving. 🔌💡

Dear folks who say "I would use transit if it went from my house to my job:" That could be easily arranged (the hard part is done) if you live and work in a red area. Everywhere else, the best you might do is park and ride into a red area. Everywhere else is hopelessly car dependent for now.
