This high-contrast scene with the backlit remnants of yesterday's inversion infiltrating a Missionary Ridge burn scar is one of my favorites from a day I am still pinching myself and wondering if it was all a dream.

"The biorefinery converts lignocellulosic biomass, primarily wood from sustainably managed forests and sawmill residues, into biochemicals. With an annual capacity of 220,000 metric tons, it is the largest facility of its kind in the world. [...]
The biochemicals will be used in everyday products, from clothing and packaging to cosmetics, construction materials and tires. Many of these are still made from fossil-based raw materials."

You can bet that solar PV plants and wind farms look like particularly juicy targets for the Kremlin, especially when they help its sworn enemy Europe phase out Fossil Gas dependency. Putin wants a Europe it can endlessly blackmail with fossil fuels.

I've Finished: Trading in Danger by Elizabeth Moon
Reading Trading in Danger was a strange experience.
My introduction to Moon's work was, Remnant Population, a novel that could not be more different in it's values.
While both main characters are seeking to assert their independence, they are complete opposites.
Kal Vatta is a young scion to a major sipping company. Drowning in privilege.
Ophelia is an elderly victim of a ruthless corporation.
Kal Vatta is constantly bailed out by her family, and told by everyone she meets how meritorious she is.
Ophelia is on her own and no other human acknowledges her merits.
Trading in Danger feels like it was written by a different author in a different time. Reading it in 2026 feels icky.
A nepo baby is being raised by her mega wealthy family to think she is building her own career.
The meritocracy is a capitalist lie we don't believe anymore.
