Already, @internetarchive & @openlibrary have been forced to remove 500,000 library books from lending, including 50+ year old literary classics, like Fahrenheit 451 & 1984.

This proves the point. Antigen tests in Germany are US$0.88 each. Here in US, Binax (the one vendor allowed to sell at $12 in entire country) is out of inventory. No one else approved. Our HC system is completely “captured.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regula…
Prices for AG tests in Germany dropped to €.75 each at the supermarket Lidl. It’s fast, easy — and cheap to test every day. #HealthForAll

I really wanted to write about something important: do we actually know how to recognise if a fossil fuel company is actually transforming?
So, I dove into an obvious example, from my current home, Norway: Equinor. Want to pull on this 🧵with me?

Biden wants to decarbonize the U.S. economy by 2050. My 401k assumes I’ll retire six years later.
Ambitious goals have turned reaching net zero into the work of a lifetime—*my generation’s lifetime,* people born from 1980 to 2005. I wrote about it:

6/Geothermal capacity in California today is effectively ~2000MW, but the state has the resource to produce over 15,000MW, and potentially far more than that with new technology, as @Sammy_Roth covers here. latimes.com/environment/stor…
