It's been a 5-year process, and none of our 6 neighbors has used any gas since at least March — we cut our own gas line 4 years ago — but tomorrow's the day: ConEd will come to remove the gas meters in our 200-year-old coop once and for all.

Never too late to read an Economist cover-to-cover. This one, I realize, is 3 covers ago, and yes, I linked to it here then, too.
But I had only read the leader at the time: econ.st/3VXxh0M
I just read the full report, and it's well worth those 5400 words: www.economist.com/interactive/...

Something big has happened over the past few decades in Paris & its suburbs: Car use has declined dramatically.
Some key explanations:
—Large reductions in car-centric street space
—Vast investments in noncar transport modes

"Officials are concerned that more people aren’t leaving coastal Texas, lieutenant governor says" True for emergencies with an impending hurricane making landfall. Truer for moving away from flood-prone areas altogether.

Part of the exact same mindset that killed congestion pricing also leads to the "The Sad State of Underground Retail in New York City"

Perhaps look to places that actually treat their transit network as the lifeblood of the city that they truly are?

Trump said “I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it.”
But Project 2025 is run by Trump's closest aides, raising concerns about cognitive fitness for a candidate who seems unable to recall those around him.

Yes! Except this isn't about "how much the city might have collected in one hour," but instead: + Better trains + Faster buses [notice the cop car helping clog the bus lane?] + Less pollution + Faster ambulances + Safer cyclists + Greater economic productivity + More jobs + A more livable NYC

Apropos of a conversation I had today with a non-scientist: Climate risks are not going to be isolated to the "usual" vulnerable places. Remember Hurricane Ida (which was my first hurricane evacuation from NOLA)? It hit Louisiana as a cat 4, but caused more $ damage and deaths in NJ+NY+PA than LA

The "energy from fossil fuels" is "-60%"(!), hence the "improved" label.
And that's not exactly because of 'conservative' policies (of late) but despite of them.

Just did that for a 7-unit building in lower Manhattan. It cost ~$5k a unit to get the lines in place. One possible techno fix: Those fancy induction stoves with batteries, that may allow you to get away with 110v.

Biden leaned into climate & environmental justice, & delivered in ways that would’ve been unimaginable a decade ago. It’s a huge part of the Admin priorities & accomplishments- b/c it’s important! We always need to push for more, forever. But if the climate coalition shrugs “meh”, we aren’t serious.

The Inflation Reduction Act and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law already have a lot of money to deploy green infrastructure to help cool down cities but we need a doubling or tripling of that effort and we need to do it now.
