While some may see Berkshire’s plans for the company as preferable to other vulture funds, the impact on most Californians will be similar: more power shutoffs, more fires, multibillion-dollar bailouts for investors and skyrocketing electric bills for the rest of us. The billionaires won’t save us. It’s time to completely transform how we power our communities....

Bitcoin and green energy are both holistic revisions of defunct legacy systems–bitcoin, of financial systems arbited by banks and inflationary government policy and renewable energy, of an industry monopolized by Big Oil and big money. Both bitcoin and renewable energy will help societies generate new infrastructure to decisively shape our futures in a direction that is either sustainable for the masses, or profitable for the privileged few. Investing in effective renewable energy projects on a global scale within a relatively short time frame is an existential imperative for human society....

Instead of calling an ambulance, officers arrested Copeland. In a police report, they wrote that they smelled alcohol—but Copeland told the station that he hadn’t had a drink since 1995. “Why they didn’t assume he was sick?” his wife Valerie Copeland added. “I can only and strongly believe it’s because he’s a Black male....
