The head photo is of something I only learned about recently, solar-farming. There's enough sunlight reflecting off other things that many plants can grow in the shadow of a solar panel. So you can graze sheep or goats (cows, because of their size tend to be destructive) or grow vegetables, making the land productive. Anti-solar people often claim that solar takes good land out of production, but clearly that's not so.
Same with wind power. The base of a wind turbine doesn't take up that much land, and all those straight rose between the turbines can be filled up with all sorts of crops.
Bonus points! All the birds that meet their demise to the turbines will fall down among the crops and decompose and thus continue that marvelous dance of life.
Trump in 2028: There's this new thing. I call it green energy. That's what I named it. Not a lot of people know about it. My friend Frederick Douglas hasn't. But I'm making sure everyone knows about it. I'm building a wind farm. I named it that because it farms energy from wind. I think it will catch on. Eagles and whales love them because it keeps the air and water clean. That's why I call it clean energy.
"The world is switching over to clean power, finally, not primarily for the sake of stopping global warming, though that’s kind of necessary, but primarily because it makes the most economic and political sense. It’s more stable and cheaper, hooray!"
Denmark ran their whole country with zero fossil fuels the whole month of March.
We could possible come close to that if not for the zipperhead.
Snorting caffeine powder like it's cocaine didn't work for me because I have sinus issues. It's easier to just take the powder in capsules with your instant coffee or diet coke.
I have a bottle of rum. I reckon I can make a huge glass of rum and throw some fruit juice in there and quite honestly break my mind whist listening to Irène Drésel
I'm pretty sure the only loser is going to be me
Although if you discover Irene D then that's a win
I remember a long ago comic somewhat akin to that. It was on paper, when we had paper, and had some aliens, or maybe evolved humans, millions of years from now holding a Styrofoam cup, and one of them was saying something about how the primitives used to worship a black bean every morning as the sun rose.
I guess electric vehicles look pretty good now right. Another punch in the gut for the orange moron.
I guess electric vehicles are looking pretty good now- another punch in your gut orange moron.

Good morning! Is anybody else having a problem with substack today?

I was recently in Spain and they are doing the same. Running entirely on renewables
Especially in emerging 'second world' countries, they will be building their energy infrastructure on renewable/sustainable from the bottom up
Oh noez! Michael Knowles debated Mehdi Hassan and Mehdi may have deaded poor old Michael. :*(

The correct spelling of that clown's name is Knowless as in Know Less.
Michael Knowles is an asshole. Change my mind.
He's born that way.
Good news, everybody!
Every morning, soon after I wake up, I make the coffee. And today is another one of those days. Do you know what this means?
I GET TO HAVE COFFEE. Isn't that great?
I'm so fucking happy I could shit.
Huzzah! Morning coffee ftw!
Snorting caffeine powder like it's cocaine didn't work for me because I have sinus issues. It's easier to just take the powder in capsules with your instant coffee or diet coke.
I remember being able to taste the caffeine in Jolt Cola.
I used to have a Jolt on my way to work every morning. It certainly is a special kind of drink.
Jolt Cola is still available. There's even a sugar free variant.
All^H^H^HNone of the sugar and twice the caffeine!
I drank that before I learned how to mainline French Roast.
Bean juice!
OK, let's play a game.
I have a bottle of rum. I reckon I can make a huge glass of rum and throw some fruit juice in there and quite honestly break my mind whist listening to Irène Drésel

Irène Drésel reminds me of Diamanda Galás, Kate Bush, Björk, and Patti Smith all at once and I like the combo.
AHA! I'm not drinking the rum. This is unlike me.
I am listening to Irene though.
She is remarkable

Now I am, too, and she is.
Yay coffee!

I love post-apocalyptic archaeology humor.
