In my search for good news;

https://arstechnica.com/science/2026/02/final-2025-data-is-in-us-energy-use-is-up-as-solar-passes-hydro/

TL;DR
"...On the good side, solar ... surpassing hydroelectric power for the first time ..."

#solar #TAGN

The question here is;
Will the conservatives pushing coal to concentrate money into their own pockets in the short run damage the planet such that the switch to renewables will not able to repair the damage?

What steps can we take now to stop the con-men before its too late?

#democracy is more than voting

This is going to sound a bit weird, but it might be a good idea to purchase a shortwave radio if you haven't got one already. They're quite cheap and small, you can buy one and store it long term just

@FediThing@social.chinwag.org that is a very good idea. thanks, I had one as a kid. The added benefit is that you get to hear a view of our world from outside our world and that is useful even before democracy dies. It might even help to prevent a total collapse or speed the recovery.

I’m always amused when movies set in the present day have scene with a crowd of press photographers and use the whirring of 35mm film motor drives as a sound effect.

@mattblaze@federate.social for a long while the special sound effect to show a computer was responding was the clack-it-clack of a teletype. and to show a computer was working was to show 9-track IBM tape drives spinning back and forth.

@cstross@wandering.shop as bad as the epstein crimes are, keep in mind that it is a distraction. The plan is to keep the media from talking about their plans to steal the #socialSecurity money and cut health care to the elderly and poor and destroy the education system. Keep your eye on the ball or in this case the money. #democracy is more than voting.
