“It's amazing how pollution has dropped in #Paris in 15 years. @annehidalgo.bsky.social has filled the city with bike-lanes & not only has she reduced pollution by 40% but she’s also been re-elected.”

Controversial COVID study that promoted unproven treatment retracted after four-year saga

Musk isn’t actually running any of his companies or a government department, he’s just posting on twitter all day every day.

I, for one, missed this from U. Tennessee researchers: energy systems with higher levels of solar and wind are *less* likely to suffer blackouts and extreme weather vulnerability. This is consistent with recent studies from Europe.
