"Organized around energy, land, and urbanism, the core of the book is an atlas featuring original cartography that maps and documents examples of existing and effective grassroots work toward climate justice."

Not to be a petty little bitch but @rooseveltinst pushed me out over this tweet.
This is an unmitigated policy failure.

Trump has embraced "state capitalism." Critical minerals are the laboratory. @IliasAlami and I analyze its contours & contradictions--and implications for Global South sovereignty & development, and progressive politics. Read our essay in @phenomenalworld phenomenalworld.org/analysis…

A new book from Billy Fleming (@JooBilly) demonstrates that the climate policy, planning, and design professions have been looking in all the wrong places for models of sustainability and resilience.

As the academic whose book is cited multiple times in this article, I want to make it clear: the data center revolt is great and we need more of it. (Getting a little sick of journalists purposefully misreading my arguments)

The data center revolt is a symptom of our political failure on AI. vox.com/future-perfect/49035…

"We have to build data centers in the US or they'll just build them all in places with lax regulations" is the same argument that's been used to support every nefarious or corrosive industrial development of the last century.

If you wanted to actually manage this process, we'd have national/regional goals re: MW of data center capacity. Facilities would have to compete for approval/support based on all of the other criteria we want from them (building out the grid, operating at low/no-emissions, etc).

As perhaps the most cash-rich industry in human history, they'd be required to build/generate their own capacity *and* add meaningful renewables capacity to the grid, to contribute excise taxes/fees that could be used to fund other things we need (social housing), etc.
