Not necessarily. The answer could be to make clean electricity prices so low that even normal gasoline prices are more expensive.

I’ll hold until RDNA 5.

Yes, it is possible to make some cheeses in an apartment.When I got into it 15 years ago, it was just my family and internet instructions. The mozarella and ricotta turned out fine. More complex, not really. Start with these.

I love linen and I love rayon (lyocell) but I’ve never seen a blend. It sounds heavenly. Congratulations on the find.

My family all bead except for me. They’ve done it for 25 years and love it. Yes, there is some gear, but it’s not terrible as far as hobbies go. That said, there must be at least 10,000 beads in my house now. It bothers me as a minimalist, but it makes everyone else happy so they stay.

Europe and Asia are rapidly rejecting oil for transportation and I doubt it will ever come back.

If they can’t work with the high prices Trump created with his war, they can’t work with anything.

I hope they enjoy the long-term global demand destruction.

Here’s how I did last month on my solar punk journey as a minimalist in South Florida.

My solar subscription generated 2,283 kWh against 2,209 kWh used including charging for my electric car (likely a wash with data center usage for the family). I also had my last round interview at an amazing local ESG company which will allow me to escape my toxic culture fossil fuel job. The few clothes I own are falling apart, but rather than buying new, I’m off to Goodwill to see if I can find some natural fabrics that work. Sadly, my local grocery store closed which will make me more reliant on driving and delivery to get food. At least both are electric.

I hope you are also making steps on your paths and would love to read about them and get ideas.

Yes, on the first screen it is an absolute total. On the second it is a percentage share.

So if something is growing, but slower than the growth of the rest, its share is declining.

This is almost certainly low, and the current Indian regime is unlikely to invest to reduce the count or even increase accuracy.

It is obsessed with GDP per capita, and it can be boosted by both growing the economy in the numerator and dropping the number of poor people in the denominator. Climate change will do the latter.

South Asian cities are some of the worst urban heat islands on the planet, and death traps in summer. Without mass air conditioning, it is no exaggeration that over one million heat deaths a year likely occur now, and this number will grow exponentially in coming years.

The world is not prepared for the mass refugees Bangladesh will create.

Then go to your HOA meeting and speak for amending the bylaws to allow them. It doesn’t take much to get changes.

Metro Toronto is a disappointment. It should be have been doubling its subway network every 20 years. Instead it shut down a line, added a few stations on another, and built LRT that’s slower than the bus it replaced.

It needs express subway tracks, GO with 10 minutes headways, and transit oriented development able to house 10k people within a ten minute walk of every GO stop which means zoning for density,

Pay for it by owning the land around stations like HK or Singapore and leasing it to developers for 40 story affordable apartments, increasing the gasoline tax, and putting tolls on the 401 and Gardiner.

Toronto is a transportation nightmare. It’s time to adopt successful models from Asia to make transit fast, convenient, and cheap while making driving fast, convenient, and incredibly expensive. Fill in with protected bike lanes and the city will be liveable and affordable with great air quality

Nice that the rest of the world is moving forward and a decentralized energy future is coming closer.

Plenty in Toronto.

That is a Ayam Cemani. They are an entirely black Indonesian chicken breed that is the most expensive to buy in the United States. Their meat is supposedly higher in protein, and also entirely black.

And Canadian.

Iran is a sovereign country able to set their own targets. They are members of the IPCC but deliberately chose non-participation for 15 years up to 2023. Furthermore, they had unfettered access to Chinese solar panels and wind turbines until recently. As they are the main supplier of oil for Chinese teapot refineries, trade for solar panels would have been simple.

Iran bears full responsibility for their outlier status no different than the current US regime.

Private investment almost invariably has negative returns, and even ESG ETFs are sketchy as you note.

As others have written, for positive returns, focus on capital investments in your own life. I have a solar subscription with a 10% IRR and recently replaced my pool pump with a variable speed one: $2,000 installed that saves $300/annum with an average lifespan of ten years for an 8.1% IRR.

Go solar. Replace your gas heat with a heat pump. Install on demand or electric heat pump water heaters. Swap your gas car for an electic.

Vote both at the ballot and with your wallet against MAGA policies.
