@scientistsorg.bsky.socialDiesel is $6.32/gal. Electrons are cheaper.
Banks need to catch up with reality. Predictable financing for electric trucks would make shipping cheaper and air cleaner in the long run.

@scientistsorg.bsky.socialNEW CLIMATE RESILIENCE REPORT🏙️
Air conditioning is not a panacea. Cities looking to end excess heat deaths should:
1. Make existing homes easier to cool
2. Establish a right to cooling
3. Create affordable, heat-resilient housing

@scientistsorg.bsky.socialIf you believe this – like we do – then we welcome you to share with us your ideas. We know a thing or two about turning evidence-based, scientifically-backed ideas into tangible public policy. We did it in 1946. We can do it again. Scientists, the world needs you yet again.
@scientistsorg.bsky.socialThis is why we exist. The McMahon Act. The Clean Air Act/s. When our president revealed the CIA was spying on people by opening their mail in the 70s. Now artificial intelligence. We believe scientists have a duty to prevent the fruits of their labor for being used for malice.

It's okay, you can say our name. You can even watch one of our videos from 1946 on YouTube! We think it rips still.

@scientistsorg.bsky.social1945. The U.S. built and dropped two atomic bombs. Three if you count the gadget.
Also 1945: Manhattan Project scientists formed an organization (us btw) to prevent further use of nuclear weapons and put that power in civilian – not military – hands. They succeeded.

@scientistsorg.bsky.socialHousing in America is expensive, and there isn’t enough of it in the places people want to live.
New from us: six tactics your local and state govt can adopt (for a bargain!) to solve the housing shortage faster, cheaper, and with greater benefit to your community.

@scientistsorg.bsky.socialAcross the US, local and state govts are making decisions about data center development — from water and energy to taxes, land use, and more.
But there’s surprisingly little shared about what communities are actually negotiating.
So we went hunting.

@scientistsorg.bsky.socialThere are 55 artificial intelligence policy bills sitting in committee. Congressional committees need to grab a pen, mark these up, and maybe even make a few law.
