Greening the Earth could fight climate change as efficiently as cutting fossil fuels

Planting trees, revitalizing soil, and other natural environmental actions could prove as effective in fighting climate change as ceasing all oil use across the planet, according to new study published by an international team of scientists in the US journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Happy 70th Birthday Bob Weir: Performing Through The Decades

Happy Birthday, Bobby, you old fuck.

Keep doing what you’re doing man
Do it till it’s done
Another lap in space,
a long strange trip around this sun
Another year to rock this Rock,
The journey yet undone
Keep it up, Long distance runner
Truckin’ right into The Other One.

The economic case for rebuilding Puerto Rico’s power grid with solar energy

We should rebuild ALL of our grid, to include power storage and alternative energy sources. Right now, Puerto Rico has like zero grid, so how much MORE sense does it make? You have to rebuild anyway…why not do it right for a change? And, it’s pretty fucking sunny there near the equator, so how much sense does solar make? Why do it if you’re not going to #DoItRight
