I struggle to understand the appeal of pellet stoves. They are often bulky, make constant fan noise, and unlike traditional wood stoves they depend entirely on electricity for ignition and feeding. In a power outage, most models simply stop working.

"Some of the worst impacts include chronic groundwater depletion, overallocation of water, deforestation, pollution and degradation to land and soil, according to a report released Tuesday by the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health (UNU-INWEH). As a result, many regions around the world are experiencing a "post-crisis condition," which entails irreversible losses of natural water capital and an inability to bounce back to historic baselines, the researchers said." https://abcnews.go.com/International/planet-entered-era-water-bankruptcy-new-report/story?id=129422093

“At this point, it’s simply not feasible for humans to return the ocean to its preindustrial chemical base line because the cost, effort and material resources required are too gargantuan. A global effort would, however, help prevent further acidification. As a marine antacid, alkalinity enhancement will probably be more effective in select regions of the coast that are home to especially vulnerable fisheries and ecosystems, like coral reefs. Such defenses have a long history. The Indigenous peoples of western North America farmed clams in walled gardens along the shore to which they routinely added crushed shells. Research has since confirmed that doing so raises the pH of the water, improving the growth and survival rates of juvenile shellfish and, in combination with other benefits of the gardens, yielding two to four times as many adults.” https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/magazine/ocean-acidification-carbon-geoengineering.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

Normal life still works, which makes it easy to ignore how fragile it has become -- even though today is the anniversary of the horrific fires in LA last January. I wrote a piece about what we build together now, before disaster forces the lesson on us. https://pioneeringspirit.xyz/what-we-build-before-everything-breaks-apart

Should be bigger news: This climate model is forecasting a possible blue-ocean-event for the Arctic in September this year For the first time in human history, there could be little to no measurable sea ice by the end of summer in what's supposed to be the Arctic ice cap This should set off alarm bells around the world

It's a few days before Christmas and it's 75°F in Denver, and most of the last couple weeks have been abnormally warm around 60-70° Much of the US is experiencing 15-30° above normal for this holiday week I'm not sure what's more disturbing — this intense heat wave during winter, or the fact that nobody else seems to be concerned...

This company has converted a car to use hydrogen instead of gasoline. They claim a rather simple (for mechanical engineers?) procedure that could scale. The big hurdle is that hydrogen does not play well with aluminium, so needed a custom carbon tank. Great to see experiments. Remains the problem of sourcing hydrogen, which ends up pretty polluting fuel when considered its end-to-end life cycle. https://engineweb.jp/article/detail/3352637?page=1
