I got up at 3 am and ran hill repeats for a few hours. Caught a beautiful sunrise in the woods. #RunningPunks #WorkLifeBalance

I got some great hill training today. 20 miles with almost a mile of vertical gain. It was a hot one and we finished in Lake Superior #RunningPunks
Beyond lithium: how sodium-ion batteries could change the world. Batteries based on sodium ions are entering mass production. Batteries based on sodium promise to be cheaper, safer and much more environmentally friendly than lithium-ion cells. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Beyond lithium: how sodium-ion batteries could change the world
Batteries based on sodium ions are entering mass production. Some researchers say they could ultimately be a cheaper, safer alternative to lithium in electric cars and other energy applications.

Our air quality was finally healthy today! I got back on the trails and ran some hills. Found a half mile of vert out there. #RunningPunks
Scientists have discovered a rocky planet that is likely to have an atmosphere — and could be a host for life go.nature.com/3TqmwGF
Found: a rocky exoplanet with an atmosphere — could it host life?
Astronomers have spotted helium escaping from LHS 1140b, an exoplanet orbiting in its star’s ‘habitable zone’.

Our Air Quality Index is off the chart: 623! This is what Climate Change looks like. We made it unsafe to go outside :(
I’ve been injured since my 24 hour race in May and can’t run how I want to. But I can train for my 100 miler by hike/running loops on hard hills. Today was 25 km and over 1/2 mile of vert. #RunningPunks
For the first time ever, from April 2025 to April 2026, solar energy outproduced ‘natural gas’ in Asia. First coal, now ‘natural gas’… the fossil fuel dominos are falling… and they said it cant be done…
This is HUGE: In 2025, renewables were the LARGEST source of global energy supply growth, with solar delivering 71% of that rise. The energy system is tilting towards clean power. Now governments need to double down and turn this surge into a real break‑up with fossil fuels.

"Something remarkable happened in April. For the first time in history, wind and solar generated more electricity than gas across the entire planet. Not in a country. Not in a region. Globally." Tons of great news here from Danny Kennedy (via @billmckibben.bsky.social's newsletter, which rules).

I got 2nd place in my 24 hour race in the Keweenaw! It was a tough one. Falling on my knee slowed me down. Heavy rain and fog overnight made lots of folks quit early. I gritted it out and ran the whole time. And I ate 9 donuts, a new PR for me. #RunningPunks #906Life
I’m in the beautiful Keweenaw Peninsula for a 24 hour race tomorrow! It’s gonna be cold and wet but I’m not worried about how far I go. My goals: - keep going for all 24 hours - eat at least 6 donuts #RunningPunks #906Life
For years, the biggest criticism of renewables was simple: “What happens when the sun isn’t shining?” The answer is increasingly: battery storage. 24/7 solar power is no longer theoretical. In some places, it is becoming economic reality.

Our “mountain” trails are runnable again! I ran 23 km on the trails by Lake Superior. I felt strong going in, but there’s nothing like running over mountains to make you feel weak. #RunningPunks
Hey friends! Did you hear? Solar and wind with batteries are now cheaper than fossil fuels in some places! Firm solar costs are as low as $54/MWh. Looks like the sun and wind are winning! 🌞💨 Check it out: https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/05/06/firm-solar-and-storage-costs-fall-to-54-mwh-says-irena/
“Oh no, not again” -4 year old seeing snow this morning Hoping it’s our last bit of snow this season 🤞 #906Life #PureMichigan
I ran an ultramarathon today! 50 km on early season trails: snow, ice, down timber, flooded rivers. It was hard going, but I feel ready for my 24 hour race next month. #RunningPunks #906Life #SISU
Trail season begins in the UP! There’s still a lot of snow and even more mud, but we got a solid 20k on trails today. It’s so much harder and more fun than the flat stuff #RunningPunks #906Life
Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades. In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%. Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation. The last coal plant is scheduled to close by 2028.
