I think we are talking at cross-purposes. I began by explaining that the 2035 goal/policy of the federal government does not take into account the geography and environment of the prairies. I'm describing the impact of the policy on the world (well, this part of it) as it exists today.
Responders to this thread have generally been describing the world as they wish it was, or that it might become at some point in the future.

@dzwiedziu @orowith2os @thomasfuchs @jesseplusplus @jonty I dread to think what they are going to do with the #moderation.
Despite all the undeserved hero-worship of the ex #Twitter #TrustAndSafety folks, it can't be forgotten that they took the money and helped destroy democracies; spread #hate, and killed people during #Covid19 - They didn't turn #whistleblower until after they were fired.
I assume those same T&S / #Policy people will be going to #BlueSky to continue the same old shit.

A quotation from Lincoln, Abraham:
«««««
The true rule, in determining to embrace, or reject any thing, is not whether it have any evil in it; but whether it have more of evil, than of good. There are few things wholly evil, or wholly good. Almost every thing, especially of governmental policy, is an inseparable compound of the two; so that our best judgment of …

If you have experience in the #policy space but want to dabble working with #academics [we are easier to handle than politicians - trust me!], this "#Policy Advisor" post is exactly what you are looking for.
You will be working with our #GIoT/#Gender and Tech Research Team too!
This new report from @mmasnick outlining the unintended consequences of #Internet #regulation and #policy around the world is thorough, thoughtful, and evidence-based. I'll definitely be adding it to my Media Law & Policy grad course next year (and inviting Mike back to discuss it).
How should Indigenous people participate in the clean energy transition?
1. Energy is an essential service. We should all have the same level of access to affordable, reliable and clean power, no matter where we live in this country.
2. Indigenous participation needs to occur in the design, construction and operation of energy projects.
3. There must be free, prior and informed consent for projects on Indigenous lands.
That's First Nations Clean Energy Network Steering Group member Ruby Heard talking.
Sounds right!

Science Debate - the ngo I cofounded with an incredible team - lives on as Science on the Ballot!
It’s now part of the National Science Policy Network - a network of advocates for science, built by & for young scientists. They will carry the mission forward, pressing U.S. candidates to address #science #policy issues like #ClimateChange, #energy & public health before the 2024 election.
I’m so excited to watch them shine!

Research webinar on AI policy at UC Berkeley - https://cltc.berkeley.edu/event/ai-policy-research-symposium/
From the mass shootings that disappear from the headlines within mere days to the IPCC’s report on catastrophic #ClimateCrisis change, to the long term economic impact of short term #policy changes, our political discourse often fails to provide the context of our past or prepare for the shifts we must make for our future. In her column today, @gothamgirlblue writes about the culture of permanent present tense in our media and politics.
