I returned to Cima Dome yesterday to pay my respects for the first time since I watched its famous Joshua tree forest burn in 2020. @NatlParkService estimates 1.3 million Joshua trees died in the 43,273-acre wildfire.
Walking in the scorched forest, it felt like a graveyard.

"Building codes can either accelerate local carbon emission reductions or lock in fossil fuel infrastructure...When code changes nibble at utilitiesā market share, however, the corporations bite back."

My town in Colorado tried to electrify its building codes. A large natural gas utility thought otherwise, fighting the proposal in public and behind the scenes at city hall. Other towns in the West have run into similar opposition. For @highcountrynews
