For the last month I've been reporting on a group of people who travel across America blocking wind and solar projects.
This group has passed clean energy opposition laws in states across the country.
Here's the story of one man who has been doing this for 10+ years.

Droughts in Europe made the "Hunger Stones" visible this year. These stones were used to mark desperately low river levels that would forecast famines. This one, in Elbe river, is from 1616 and says: "If you see me, cry"

CA weather update: mountain snow and cold (convective) lowland showers today will indeed herald the approach more more traditionally wet/cool conditions over the next 10-14 days. (Finally!) This looks like a solidly beneficial pattern, for multiple reasons... (1/3) #CAwx

As for John Droz? He's reinvented himself once more.
In searching public records for his name, I came across dozens of emails to officials everywhere from Arizona to Pennsylvania about his "independent analysis of the 2020 election."
Droz is now an election security expert.

Recently I learned about a man who has trained 1,000+ people to block wind and solar projects.
I read through all his training materials, presentations, and seminars.
Here's what I learned about him and how his students plan to "win the war on clean energy."

Fascinating reporting on the history of fire in our forests (there used to be a lot MORE of it, in a good way). Also a good reminder about the value of cultural burning. sfchronicle.com/projects/202…

Is the rest of the country aware of how bad things are in the Pacific Northwest right now? Temp in my ‘hood hit 87 degrees today—in the latter half of October. So smoky it’s literally dangerous to be outside. No rain yet this fall. Feels like end times.
Numerous wildfires continue across the Cascades this afternoon with smoke moving northward. Critical fire weather conditions into this evening with stronger winds and dry weather. #WAwx
