Good read RE the climate stuff but I’m also curious because I’ve never heard the term ‘salting the earth’ in any context but en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salting.... Does it mean something different in the context of unions?

Surely more than sixfold when you consider how much of a low hanging fruit agriculture is when it comes to carbon reductions.

What a fascinating story, I'd no idea that was going on.
Good to see the analysis not just framing this as EVs = energy transition = good;
"(...) perverse incentives where buyers receive indirect transfers from general taxation that could fund mass transit serving broader populations."

Admittedly a little can, around 300g. I blended them up, taste tested them for spiciness (yup, pretty hot when you just eat it straight), then tossed it in the dish. Turned out excellently, I must say. I already bought a new can to do it again soon.

Wait. I literally 4 days ago for the first time added a can of chipotle in adobe to a chile sin carne that served about 6 people. The dish had a little zing, but just right, nothing too spicy. Are they normally way hotter? I am a white man from Australia with minimal knowledge of American peppers.

Eh? CDU is centre-right. Parties don't start being right wing only if they're *really* right wing.

Without having read the study, doesn’t that in large part just boil down to conservative people doing their thing? Both in voting for a conservative party and being conservative in the uptake of a new technology?
Obviously other factors at play as well …

Well if it’s being used for municipal heating then that doesn’t matter because the lower water levels happen in summer when you don’t need to heat buildings. @janrosenow.bsky.social would that be correct? I’d read the article to check myself, but it wasn’t linked :)

I think we need to stop putting so much emphasis on federal governments and international negotiations. Yes, they could help. But they've failed us badly during the last 30+ years.
Maybe we can put a bit more attention on community-based solutions, affordable decarbinization tools, and markets?
