This is a terrific service for the people who have not yet decarbonized their lives and/or continue to fly during our climate crisis.

Directory feature: cdr-shops.com lists every durable CDR provider that will actually sell you small volumes online, with a credit card, no five-email sales loop. Today there are thirteen of them.

Four more years to BEV passing ICE. That’s a blink of an eye in the world of manufacturing. If you’re not already building the production facilities, you’re off the back.

Global BEV Trend September 2030 currently seems like the point in time when BEV will overtake ICE (incl. HEV) globally. This is after the PHEV peak that right now seems like it will happen in 2028 at around 14%. leraffl.github.io/LeRaffl-Gall...

Denmark (currently 89% BEV) used to be the fast one. Now there are five countries projected to go even faster.

Solar and wind met 99.8% of the world’s growth in electricity demand last year. Nuclear added 4% more. Coal and gas combined for -4%. 🔌💡 @ember-energy.org

Tunnels, bridges, power lines, small hydro - infrastructure central 🇳🇴 This is about a $50 million dollar tunnel serving a small surf town with about 20 permanent residents. Trollfjord I hydro is 3.2 MW, 178m head, 61% CF. It’s easy when you have mountains and lots of rainfall. 🔌💡

Typical household electrical infrastructure - in a country where electricity is cheap, abundant, and infinitely renewable, and fuel is expensive. 🇳🇴

The last couple of days in 🇳🇴. Svolvær-Geita hike, Kongstinden-area ski, Festvågtind hike near Henningsvær.

Rest day hike up Hoeven. “Good for grandma and the baby.”

Finally got a clear day to go ski the south side of Rundfjellet. We’ve started up it twice before and bailed because of the wind. 🇳🇴

Varden in the wind 🇳🇴

Kleppstadheia, surfing at Unstad, Varden. 🇳🇴

When in doubt, just keep going.

Yes - this place is real (drone shot is not mine). The most beautiful soccer field in the world. Henningsvær, 🇳🇴

Sautinden 🇳🇴

From me and Bethany Kanten in the Park Record, on positive climate advocacy. 🔌💡 “Joy isn’t naive. It is how movements grow. Joy doesn’t mean ignoring loss or pretending the stakes aren’t high. It means refusing to let despair be the organizing principle.” www.parkrecord.com/2026/03/18/r...

Reasons for joy - Park Record

"There is progress to celebrate and work to be done. As we look forward, here are four reasons to make 2026 the year of Joy for climate work."

It’s great to see the political consensus on restoring the lake. But it’s not an easy task - or a cheap one. There’s work to do. @evanbush.bsky.social

The audacious plan to refill the Great Salt Lake

A "Herculean" goal to replenish the water in Utah's Great Salt Lake by the 2034 Olympics is gaining momentum and attracting strange bedfellows.

Fuel cost for my car is going to be exactly the same tomorrow as it is today. Just saying.

This one is not going to be difficult for the courts. It’s blatantly unconstitutional.

If President Trump tries to take control of the midterm elections by executive order, he'll be defying the Constitution in an attempt to trample the authority of Congress and the states and the rights of voters. The time to draw a line is now, says @walterolson.bsky.social. buff.ly/ok13K53

What trailbreaking was like yesterday during the storm.

Thank you to Rep. Clancy, Senator Curtis, and Congressman Kennedy for a great event at BYU tonight. Fun to see all the students lined to talk to Rep. Clancy afterwards.

There is now more snow in the 15-day forecast for my house than we’ve had all winter. ❄️🎉

The 2026 Barkley Marathons is over. There are no finishers. #BM100

Utah friends - we will be hosting an open discussion on environmental policy with Rep. Tyler Clancy on Monday at 6pm at BYU. Hope you can join us! RSVP: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Global sales of pure ICE cars still set to drop below 50% in 2029. US automakers ignore that shift at their own peril.

This is what the global BEV transition looks like if you join all the countries in my portfolio. You can view the numbers on an interactive chart here: leraffl.github.io/LeRaffl-Gall...

The bad news: “corruption, brutality, and casual disregard for the law.” The good news: “a glimmer of hope that many institutions and processes appear far more resistant to takeover than those that have crumbled underfoot elsewhere.”

Sam Freedman@samfr.bsky.social · 6mo ago

Very good piece by @jburnmurdoch.ft.com.... The US under Trump 2.0 has shifted towards authoritarianism as record speed but unlike other examples (e.g. Putin, Orban) it's happened by bypassing institutions rather than permanently corrupting them... www.ft.com/content/b474...

That’s equivalent to the volume of a Deer Creek Reservoir each year. Or you can think of it as 6% of the state’s consumptive water use. We’re not done, but this is a big deal. If we’re going to refill the lake before the Olympics, we need a couple of interventions at this scale each year.

The Salt Lake Tribune@sltrib.com · 6mo ago

Utah has successfully bid to seize control of the defunct US Magnesium plant, and it plans to donate the massive volume of water it evaporated each year to benefit the Great Salt Lake. https://www.sltrib.com/news/environment/2026/01/27/utah-buys-bankrupt-us-magnesium 

Presenting to my friend Ben Abbott’s environmental science class at BYU. Love this place.
