The world is a little dimmer today. Writing this for my friend and colleague Sarah Knuth was agonizing and we miss her so much, but we also celebrate Sarah's memory and push forward on the struggles that she cared about so deeply. climateandcommunity.org/bio/sarah-kn...
Sarah Knuth (In Memoriam) - Climate and Community Instituteclimateandcommunity.orgWe were last talking about this paper and what we thought we could and should do next with her ideas. I am going to miss her terribly.
isaacBeen thinking a lot recently about how the entire grid planning apparatus - what exists anyway - is being bent to the will of oligarchs and in particular big tech and fossil fuel interests in that class. Great paper with a lot of jumping off points into multiple strands of investigation.
There are few truly wonderful people in the world and we just lost one of them. Sarah was a brilliant thinker and scholar, deeply dedicated to making the world a better place. More than that, she was warm, funny, and brightened the room around her. Her loss is immeasurable. I miss you, friend

isaacHere's the proposal from @aldasky.bsky.social, Maddison Wells, and myself on how we can eliminate housing and energy insecurity immediately for millions of people while also driving deep residential decarbonization for the climate. It's win-win-win policy for people, planet, and faith in government.
Gasprijzen stijgen & we hebben een watertekort. Toch stampen datacenters uit de grond. Niet alleen die van techmiljardlaars; de NLse regering is bezig om 'AI fabrieken' te maken (lees: datacenters). ⛔ De bouw van nieuwe datacenters moet stoppen!
