  • It’s a fallacy to think that commercial interests and the environment can’t work together. Our current situation is built around 150 years of established petroleum infrastructure and there is always hesitation to build new things when a working business strategy has been guiding the corporation.

    But commerce and environmental causes work so well together because of the renewable and low maintenance ideas that emerge from their overlap. That’s how solar panels, wind turbines, and geothermal energy got started. What’s stopping them is the addiction to the old ways of energy commerce.

    Morgan would gladly take money for R&D into renewables that require a subscription. Capitalists understand infinite (ie renewable) resources with low to no procurement costs are the future of the product. Wind and sunshine are also on almost every planet - this is future proofing energy production and it all feeds back into the money machine to make it easier, cheaper, and more resilient.
















  • We had an old foster who stuck with us and eventually Louise became ours. We had her for 2 years before her kidneys quit on her. With her appointment for the next day, we ran to every pet store we could and asked for the best treats they had. One store asked what we meant by best and we said “most unhealthy, best tasting dog junk food we can get.”

    They had immediate suspicions, “What do you mean unhealthy?”

    “Our dog is going to be put down tomorrow and we want to give her the best going away feast she can handle.”

    The lady understood and ran to the back and returned with two more people. They knew the assignment. The five of us combed the entire store for bacon and steak and stuffed treats the likes of which Louise had never seen. She went out full and as happy as she could be.

    Those end of life meals make a big difference to everyone involved. It’s celebrating their life.
