Affordability and decarbonization aren’t at odds—they go hand in hand. @karlsson-kris.bsky.social and @pmbigger.bsky.social discussed our new research with @alybatt.bsky.social in @jacobinmag.bsky.social 🧵

A renewable energy transition doesn’t have to mean higher prices for consumers. On the contrary: if managed well, it could actually offer lower energy prices.

Today, @madisoncondon.bsky.social makes the case that we should stop thinking of climate change as an externality. The latest in our series on @alybatt.bsky.social's *Free Gifts: Capitalism and the Politics of Nature.*

taught @alybatt.bsky.social and the labor process chapter together, now I finally understand why labor takes a wage but nature’s free of charge
Today, @alybatt.bsky.social kicks off a symposium on her book, *Free Gifts: Capitalism and the Politics of Nature* The idea of the free gift, she argues, can give us a deeper understanding of the environmental problems that plague capitalism. It can also help us better understand capitalism itself.
