"“I can say confidently that without irrigation you just wouldn’t have corn on this farm,” said Mr. Wildman, who is president of the state’s irrigators association. “And the market tells us to raise corn. So you could say that the market is also telling us to irrigate.”
Funny how money directs actions, yet the science that convincingly says those actions are unwise (and even very costly) has little impact. Perhaps we really do need #regulations to address bad market incentives?

#ClimateSolutions 005 #Neighborhood Battery
#Research #Investing #Regulations
What's the point of a #NeighborhoodBattery ? [view #ClimateSolutions 002 #Neighborhood Battery.]
1st of all: electrify in stead of carbonate. 😜
2nd: reduction of the strain on the general grid (less need of grid expantion)
But..
also #ScaleReduction of the grid. We've become dependent of, and 've gotten used to, monopolized energy producers. Large scale production using fossil fuels. Things have changed, nowadays consumers have become producers using solar. Scale reduction means independency.
Let me be clear: We still need the grid in case of shortages or emergencies. We need to get used to hybrid energy or multi grid energy.
What is needed for a grand scaling of the #NeighborhoodBattery ?
We cannot use the Lithium-Ion tech. Or other precious metal combinations.
We need a better tech and research for better batteries. Some smart researchers knew this years ago and one of the valid options is...
the Iron-Air battery.
"Cheap, multi-day grid energy. FINALLY!"
by Just Have A Think
The man revisited an earlier prospect to check out it's progress [11 min]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXouVvzj5nQ
What can/should governments do to implement the #NeighborhoodBattery ?
There's no real need of subsidizing, the prospects on profit should be enough for investors provided the policies change.
Governments (local and national) should change and make #regulations .
Governments (local and national) should change and make #policy . No longer favoring the monopolist energy producers.

#ClimateSolutions 002 #Neighborhood Battery.
Just now on Dutch TV: "More and more new homes remain inhabited caused by under capacity of the existing grid".
'There is no quick fix'
The main solution is suggested: more cables; but ....
that takes a lot of time [and of course money]. That net increase should certainly continue as usual, but..
sometimes you should NOT make a problem simple. By not immediately thinking of the obvious solution, you sometimes come up with original and better solutions..
One of the affected homeowners casually mentioned another solution: the #Neighborhood Battery. A relatively small feature where the locally generated, but unused, power does not return to the grid but to a local battery. This works not only for households but also, and especially, for business areas.
Technically it is still in its infancy, but it is certainly feasible. Safety [fire] plays a role. However...
this is not the main obstacle that 'one' encounters. The most important is an old acquaintance: #Regulations .
Grid operators and energy companies are not keen on it: it is ultimately at the expense of their profit. And is not financed by government, as with the cables.
And so NEN standards are only finalized at a snail's pace.
You would say grist to the mill of a departing Secretary of climate.

“#Loper Bright is a case seeking to restore one of the core tenets of our democracy: that Congress, not the administrative agency, makes the laws,” the #Koch network spokesperson said.
(#Chevron never said that #congress did not make the #laws. It only says that the #agencies design #regulations to implement the laws that Congress makes.)
While most Americans aren’t familiar w/the 1984 case #ChevronvNRDC, it’s one of #SCOTUS’s most-cited decisions. #Legal scholars sometimes mention it in the same breath as #BrownVBoardOfEducation & #RoeVWade. In essence, #Chevron is about #GovernmentAgencies’ ability to issue #regulations. After a #law is enacted, it’s generally up to #agencies across the gov to make detailed rules to put it into effect. The Chevron decision said courts should be hesitant to second-guess agencies’ determinations.
The #Koch network is among the largest & most #influential #political orgs of the last half century, & it’s underwritten a far-reaching campaign to influence the course of #American #law. In a case the#SCOTUS will hear this coming term, the justices could give the network a historic victory: limiting #FederalAgencies’ #power to issue #regulations in areas ranging from the #environment to #LaborRights to #ConsumerProtection.

If you're a John #Varley-style #Heinleiner, and think everyone should be independent and only engage in entirely voluntary transactions, you fall to the low, leftward end of that scale.

@dave Saying "we" have "never" regulated corporations is incorrect. Before Reagan/Thatcher and the wave of neoliberal propaganda that was the -JOB- of government. Protecting the public from corporate harms (regulations) was the POINT of democracy.

This should not be newsworthy. It should not take hundreds of thousands of dollars in court judgements to make news be news again. For reporters to report the facts - in real time, not in a disclaimer after the interview is aired - is not too much to ask; we need a 21st Century Fairness Doctrine.

Troubles with buying a #house in #Spain. After having viewed many houses, we found a suitable one in #AlhaurínElGrande.
The #realtor assured us that everything is fine, it has all the papers and a #municipal #sewer connection.
Of course I needed #inspections to make sure so we made an initial offer agreement which states that the sellers will fix any minor problems that arise from inspections and otherwise and if not, the offer is void.
Then the realtor said that it actually has a #SepticTank, a proper one of the total oxidation type which is mandatory by law. Ok, they accepted my offer which was a bit lower than what they asked for so a septic tank is fine by me.
An inspection found leaking roofs, moisture rising from the floors, damp damage, #asbestos, bad design of using a sewage pump from downstairs toilet uphill, and failing A/C units, among other things.
Their lawyer spend weeks trying to track down the #LicenciaDePrimeraOcupación from archives, and when it became clear they don't have it, they tried to hide the fact from me. Instead they contacted the #mortgage #bank manager directly and negotiated the missing #LPO with him, I'm assuming with an implication that I would be later responsible for getting it.
Then I ask the realtor one more time about what sort of a septic tank it has as they had a plumber visit to fix some things and make sure. She says, it's actually a #PozoCiego (i.e. a #PozoNegro, an illegal hole in the ground). It's explicitly illegal on all levels from #EU #directives to municipal #regulations in Alhaurín el Grande, and the area is in the flow basin of #Guadalhorce natural #conservation area.
Ok, that's illegal and prevents an LPO being granted.
I tell them to replace the illegal pozo negro with a legal septic tank, get the LPO, fix the roofs and the moisture damage, and get rid of the asbestos.
They unsurprisingly refused. They say an illegal pozo negro is "not illegal, and is more environmental than a plastic septic tank which breaks down, and never needs maintenance". And a zillion excuses. "Most houses are moving to pozo negro now because it's better than a septic tank". "An LPO isn't needed, the house was legal when it was built and it wasn't needed when the previous owners bought it".
I gave them a chance to fix the deficiencies and now I'm waiting for the offer to expire so that I can get my deposit back, and because of dishonest behavior by the sellers I will send them the bill for my expenses for the external inspection.
The story continues in real time.

At this point regulating AI would just lead to massive monopolies from companies that have a battery of lawyers.
It’s not by chance that most regulations are so complicated and not understandable.
It is because big companies can exclude smaller player from forming if the toll of complex regulation is unbearable.
A regulation of this kind would just prevent that open source AIs will become a thing and we will be always tied to the whims of big corporations like google or Microsoft.
The CEO of OpenAI already called for more AI regulations. For context: one of OpenAIs high end AIs „DALLE 2“ has become practically useless overnight because a open source model „#StableDiffusion “ was released. - this alone has cost his company millions.
So we see that big companies (OpenAI belongs to 49% to Microsoft) want more regulation because this creates a better marked position and prevents free open source AIs to reduce their profit.
I attach the tweet of the OpenAI CEO. In which he states that regulations will be very critically important (for his company i guess) and throw fear a sentence later.

No, #Deregulation is the issue. #Capitalism needs #regulations to keep it from harming the nation and world. There has been way to much deregulation, and stopping of new regulations since the 1970s. We need capitalism as a means to motivate creative people to find and create life enhancing inventions. We also need the regulations to keep any capitalistic venture from gobbling up more than it's fair share of resources, or destabilizing the system. #SVB #SVBFailure #EPA #FDIC #SEC

"Nanny State" is a right-wing propaganda term, to imply that democratic government acting to make people's lives better is somehow a bad thing.
In a democracy it is the JOB of govenment to spend to make people's lives better and regulate to protect people.

Developers Found Graves in the Virginia Woods. Authorities Then Helped Erase the Historic Black Cemetery.

The cemetery’s disappearance cleared the way for the expansion of a #Microsoft data center, despite layers of federal and state #regulations nominally intended to protect culturally significant sites.
“This is not as bad as it sounds,” a consultant wrote in2014 to Microsoft & to a county official. “We should be able to relocate these graves.”

This pair of sentences in a new blog post from European Central Bank stood out for me:
