@TimHarford I saw this while visiting the Museum of Flight in Seattle and thought of #cautionarytales

The upshot here is that wind turbine failures are not like oil or gas pipeline ruptures, or coal ash spills, or nuclear reactor problems. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-23/wind-turbine-collapses-punctuate-green-power-growing-pains

Over 50K utilities that manage #drinkingwater in the United States. 6BILLION gallons of treated water are lost to leaks every day. That's 18,413 Acre Feet! In about 3.6 years, that would add up to a full Lake Powell, in 4.6 years that would be enough to fill Lake Mead (from empty!) It took 17 years to fill Powell after the dam went in. https://www.wsj.com/video/series/wsj-explains/why-americas-water-infrastructure-is-crumbling/954FCBDE-03AE-434F-9904-B5B9AA0DFBEA #water

I don't even know what to say about this guy. "They want to control every aspect of your life." coming from a politician that wants to control every aspect of your life.

The grey lady has a good article about tech workers pivoting to work for climate companies.

How does a a seeming fraud like this George Santos guy get as far as he did? Why was his murky history not uncovered in his first congressional run in 2020? Or before he won his race in 2022? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/19/nyregion/george-santos-ny-republicans.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

News organizations should take the principled stand that the Boston University School of Public Health took and suspend their use of twitter. Really, what would Twitter be without journalists and news organizations tweeting? A hell scape of bots, trolls and misinformation. Break the wheel. Elon has shown his intentions. Don’t feed the troll.

So, is it really time to scrub accounts for pictures of myself and loved ones? https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/12/thanks-to-ai-its-probably-time-to-take-your-photos-off-the-internet/
