a little good news

Last week, I woke up to air temperature -6C/21F.  We have just 1 more below-freezing night forecast in Minneapolis, then we finally launch into spring.  As our collective floundering at our chilly start might suggest, April is our most-variable month here.

Two weeks ago, California's electric grid ran on 97% renewable energy.

Three weeks ago, wind power surpassed coal and nuclear electricity generation in the USA for the first time.

A climate activist has finally taken the most-followed scientist spot on the Twitter platform.

Minnesota is talking about introducing "free college", with caveats.

A woman on twitter asked if there was an age when she should "grow up and act [her] age".  Shirley Curry (aka the 85-year-old "Skyrim grandmother" whom I've mentioned before) replied, "No way!!! LOL".
