It seems like Russia would be a lot better off not doing any invasions, and just making $$$ exporting natural resources and importing advanced manufactured gods. — PolitiTweet.org

@marilynmaupin @kikkogurl @ezraklein I have solar panels on my roof as it happens. It generates about 105% of our household electricity use. But we don't have an electric car yet and we're still on gas for heating. When we make those switches the rooftop panels won't meet all our needs. — PolitiTweet.org

But I also think that if you take the land use issue seriously, then the case for looking hard at geothermal and advanced nuclear gets much more compelling. The 100% renewables path is actually not that green. https://t.co/wH2VEIulHb — PolitiTweet.org

His point, which I agree with, is that we're going to need policy change beyond just money. https://t.co/wvpyYGjYbN — PolitiTweet.org

Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias

From @ezraklein, I don't think people really appreciate the scale of the land use changes involved in an all-renewables path to net zero. https://t.co/eQLetSJRWl https://t.co/X4XKQ0DfQ5 — PolitiTweet.org

The worst I ever got yelled at by a boss was when I was an intern at Rolling Stone and Wenner felt I’d stacked a bunch of review copies of stuff in an untidy way https://t.co/CcFjSTMwUS — PolitiTweet.org

I think Avatar has a weird reputation because it truly was made to be seen in 3D on a big screen so it has low rewatchability and doesn’t get fondly remembered, but I’m kinda eager to go see it again. https://t.co/HOIOSYaipT — PolitiTweet.org

@dandrezner There is an inherently positional aspect to it though — PolitiTweet.org

Look if you are going to have a bar you need to encourage people to drive there, that’s just good policy — PolitiTweet.org

@nilocobau That stuff tends to be less constrained by the land use though … like Harvard built a bunch of labs on the other side of the river where they could get permission. — PolitiTweet.org

Yeah but also the top schools should be encouraged to expand their class sizes (which in turn is largely a land use issue like everything else that’s bad) — PolitiTweet.org

These images of American life in 1964 don’t generate a lot of nostalgia https://t.co/rMJ5Q1PUE1 — PolitiTweet.org

The midcentury period that stands for “tradition” in the contemporary imagination was actually a time of rapid technological change. https://t.co/3rxsqdIcBp — PolitiTweet.org

From a friend’s Instagram account. What public interest is served by making it harder to install rooftop solar in DC in order to make it harder to see that other people have solar panels on their rooftop? We should encourage solar visibility! https://t.co/vo6w594oNu — PolitiTweet.org
