We need to focus on the grid, people! If you're not shaking in your boots after reading this you need to get your vitals checked. We talked about some of this in early GridFormers meetings a few years ago, but wow. Puts a lotta lotta of things in perspective.

For many readers, protecting nature is its own reward, but that’s not true for everyone. Some people get into #EVs, #solar, and such to save some money. Others get into it because they want the #UnitedStates to be more energy independent. It’s also common for people to use #cleantechnologies to become more resilient to disasters and emergencies. For many people, that instant burst of tire-shredding torque is to blame for that EV in the driveway. More common than any of these reasons is probably some mix of the above. We have to appeal to people based on where they’re at, and not necessarily where we want them to be if we want to be successful promoting these technologies. To really understand where people are at, sometimes we have to dig deeper. Things like culture, politics, and many other things definitely play a factor, but if we only look at how things are today, we miss out on lessons we might learn from the question of how we got here. For more understanding on that, we have to delve into history. The History Of “America’s Best Idea” Has A Lot To Teach Us I’d love to be able to say that I thought to dig into this question all on my own, but I fell down this rabbit hole looking for an answer to another question. In a previous article, I mentioned this quote, and wondered how the man could be so damned ignorant: “This region can be approached only from the south, and after entering it there is nothing to do but to leave. Ours has been the first, and will doubtless be the last party of whites to visit this profitless locality.” — Lt. Joseph C. Ives, referring to the Grand Canyon, 1858 When I encountered that quote, I chalked it up to utilitarianism. The guy came from a time when people fought for survival, and simply didn’t have time to appreciate nature like people do today, I thought. Now, we have time for such things instead of trying to scrape up survival from the land at all costs. But that’s not really a good explanation. There were people before and after Lt. Ives who understood the value of nature, including native #Americans and at least some people of #European descent. So, this had to be more of a cultural thing than a matter of necessity. In general, Americans who were in the process of achieving Manifest Destiny through war and conquest saw the land as something their race could use to get rich and achieve global prestige, perhaps even beating out #Europe on both of those goals. This left the question of how we went from that #imperial attitude to one in which many Americans protect the land for its own sake and have even decided to care about nature for its own sake. A #YouTube video ended up giving me the answer: Monumentalism. 🔻🔻🔻 Click/tap image below to see video on YouTube 🔻🔻🔻

California's 30x30 initiative aims to safeguard 30% of its lands and waters by 2030, the Central Coast being vital to these efforts. TPL leverages advanced mapping and community input to target conservation where it's needed most, emphasizing equitable outdoor access. The focus on restoring critical habitats like blue oak woodlands and grasslands underscores a multifaceted approach to climate resilience. Generously, TPL shares this valuable research data, empowering other organizations and governments to craft informed, effective strategies for climate resiliency and equitable access to nature. Dive deeper into how our work is shaping a sustainable future for the Central Coast:

If you are interested in occupancy behavior, occupant-centric controls (OCC), building performance, indoor environmental quality (IEQ) or occupant-building interactions, I suggest you take a look at this study.
