I'm a data liberation engineer at Catalyst # Coop . We use # Python to support # climate activists, policymakers, and researchers accelerating the # EnergyTransition . I grew up in rural spanglish California, explored Mars & Europa with robots, & fought for bright green cities in Colorado.

Snippets from "The Dispersion of Power"
"Winters is concerned with a smaller class of genuine oligarchs and a narrower set of policies -- those governing the accumulation and defense of wealth.
In other policy areas, the interests of different elites may come into conflict, enabling other actors and groups to make gains by playing those elites off of one another.
In this area, however, the interests of oligarchs are fully unified and as a result, their combined material power will almost always enable them to get their way, no matter what political system happens to be in place."
