AI-Driven Cyberattacks, Climate Change, and the Fragility of Modern Civilization

The weaponization of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems stands as one of the most plausible and catastrophic risks facing modern civilization. As AI capabilities accelerate, so too does their potential to destabilize the complex, interdependent systems that sustain our societies—namely, power grids, communication networks, and global supply chains. In a scenario increasingly discussed…

Pass legislation to significantly expand transmission for clean energy NOW!

AN OPEN LETTER to THE PRESIDENT & U.S. CONGRESS

820 so far! Help us get to 1,000 signers!

Right now, there are at least 2,000 gigawatts of renewable energy waiting for permission to connect to power lines in the U.S., which is more than the total capacity of the country’s existing power plants. Wait times to connect new power plants to the grid can reach five years or more. Without rapidly improving transmission, the United States will not be able to achieve Biden's goal of 100% clean energy by 2035 or provide cheaper, more reliable electricity to American households. If the U.S. can’t build new transmission at a faster pace, roughly 80 percent of the emissions reductions expected from the Inflation Reduction Act–the largest climate legislation in U.S. history–might not happen.

That’s why I’m writing to urge Congress to pass legislation to significantly expand transmission for clean energy.

Multiple efforts are currently in play. Most recently in the House, Representatives Sean Casten and Mike Levin introduced the Clean Energy and Transmission Acceleration Act, (HR 6747) which would encourage the development of new transmission lines to carry renewable power where it’s needed while protecting the rights of communities to provide input on where lines are built and to benefit from their construction. I strongly support this bill.

But any legislation is better than none, and NONE of the bills proposed so far have been passed. This is not good.

Increasing access to clean energy will help tackle the climate crisis by ensuring the reliability of the grid and reducing consumers' bills. Renewable energies like wind and solar are quickly becoming the least expensive source of energy and we need to make sure as many people as possible get access to these clean, abundant energy sources.

Please pass a strong, fair transmission bill—like HR 6747—that prioritizes clean energy, climate change, and environmental justice. This is urgent; all of our children are counting on us to secure their futures. Thanks.

What If "The President Is Missing" Actually Happened? A Cyberattack, a Blackout, and the Quiet Collapse

I read The President Is Missing by James Patterson and Bill Clinton a few weeks after it was released, and honestly, it left my mind spinning. It’s one of those political thrillers that you race through because it feels like it’s building toward something huge. The story is gripping, sure—it has a U.S. president, high-stakes espionage, betrayal, shadowy operatives—but what really stayed with me…

FANTASTIC update from our dear friend Moataz!!

Moataz @moatazart has had some major developments in his situation.

A few weeks ago, PayPal terminated Moataz’s account without warning, taking back much of the funds he had raised to rebuild his house in Gaza City. To make matters even worse, the IOF recently bombed the house next to where Moataz and his family are staying. This heavily damaged their communal solar power grid, making access to electricity and internet even more difficult and dangerous.

Thankfully, there is some good news. Our dear friend Najia was able to help Moataz set up a new PayPal link, as well as a fundraiser on Chuffed, which is very similar to GoFundMe! Now Moataz is able to raise funds for his home reconstruction again, as well as repair the solar grid.

Moataz is a dear friend of ours. He has risked his life to document the ongoing genocide against Gaza, as well as to help other displaced people raise funds for evacuation. He has done so much for so many people, and we would appreciate anyone who could help repay his dedication by supporting his campaign.

Thank you❤️

We also want to send a huuuuge thank you to Najia, who made this possible. Please visit @gothhabiba and support the posts and campaigns she is promoting.

REMINDER: You can use either link! One goes to Chuffed, the other to PayPal!

Letter to Congress 01-18-24

Homeland Security: Border and Power grid security

[reasonsforhope]

"Around the world, farmers are retooling their land to harvest the hottest new commodity: sunlight. As the price of renewable energy technology has plummeted and water has gotten more scarce, growers are fallowing acreage and installing solar panels. Some are even growing crops beneath them, which is great for plants stressed by too many rays. Still others are letting that shaded land go wild, providing habitat for pollinators and fodder for grazing livestock.

According to a new study, this practice of agrisolar has been quite lucrative for farmers in California’s Central Valley over the last 25 years — and for the environment. Researchers looked at producers who had idled land and installed solar, using the electricity to run equipment like water pumps and selling the excess power to utilities. 

On average, that energy savings and revenue added up to $124,000 per hectare (about 2.5 acres) each year, 25 times the value of using the land to grow crops. Collectively, the juice generated in the Central Valley could power around 500,000 households while saving enough water to hydrate 27 million people annually. “If a farmer owns 10 acres of land, and they choose to convert one or two acres to a solar array, that could produce enough income for them to feel security for their whole operation,” said Jake Stid, a renewable energy landscape scientist at Michigan State University and lead author of the paper, published in the journal Nature Sustainability. 

The Central Valley is among the most productive agricultural regions in the world: It makes up just 1 percent of all farmland acreage in the United States, yet generates a third of the nation’s fruits and vegetables. But it’s also extremely water-stressed as California whiplashes between years of significant rainfall and drought. To irrigate all those crops, farmers have drawn so much groundwater that aquifers collapse like empty water bottles, making the earth itself sink by many feet.

Farmers can’t make their crops less thirsty, so many have been converting some of their acreage to solar. The Central Valley is ideal for this, being mostly flat and very sunny, hence the agricultural productivity. At the same time, farmers have been getting good rates for the electricity that they offset and that they send back to the grid. 

Now, though, California has adopted standards that reduce those rates by 75 percent on average. For a farmer investing in panels, the investment looks less enticing. “The algebra or calculus — or whatever math discipline you want to reference — it just doesn’t work out the same way,” said Karen Norene Mills, vice president of legal advocacy at the California Farm Bureau, which promotes the state’s agricultural community. 

Also, the study found that by fallowing land for solar panels, food production in the Central Valley dropped by enough calories to feed 86,000 people a year. But, Stid said, markets can adjust, as crops are grown elsewhere to make up the deficit. By tapping the sun instead, Stid added, growers can simultaneously help California reach its goals of deploying renewable and reducing groundwater usage. 

The tension, though, is meeting those objectives while still producing incredible quantities of food. “That is always our concern about some of these pressures,” Mills said.

But this isn’t an either-or proposition: Many farmers are finding ways to grow some crops, like leafy greens and berries, under the panels. The shade reduces evaporation from the soil, allowing growers to water less often. In turn, a wetted landscape cools the panels, which improves their efficiency. “This is the compromise that’s going to allow for both energy independence and food security,” said horticulturalist Jennifer Bousselot, who studies agrisolar at Colorado State University but wasn’t involved in the new study. 

Farmers are also turning livestock loose to graze under their panels. Their droppings fertilize the soil, leading to more plant growth and more flowers that support native pollinators. “The grass, it’s so much more lush under the panels, it’s amazing,” said Ryan Romack, founder of Virginia-based AgriSolar Ranch, which provides grazing services. “Especially when the sheep have been on site long-term, you can really see the added benefits of the manure load.”

Then, if a farmer decides not to replace the solar panels at the end of their lifespan — usually around 25 or 30 years — the soil will be refreshed with nutrients and ready to grow more crops. Even if a grower simply lets them sit for decades without any management, the fallowing can restore the soil’s health. “We really see solar as a collective landscape,” Stid said, “that can be sited, managed, and designed in a way to benefit both people and the planet and ecosystems as well.”"

There exist another dimension called The Empty World. It's very much like ours, in fact it seems to have been identical up until a few weeks ago, but it always seems that way. If you go there today, it was identical in late february, and if you go there this october, it'll have been identical until september.

It's empty, as you might guess. There's no humans, and no animals bigger than a cockroach. The sky is grey, and it slowly rains ash. It's colder than our world by a bit, enough to require a jacket even in summer. The streets are empty, the cars parked neatly in their garages or in lots, but they're all empty and abandoned, their doors locked like they expect their owners to return any minute now.

The newspapers left on stands don't mention any oncoming disaster. We have no idea what the TV or internet would have said: the power is out. The power is very, very out. Not just the grid, but batteries are drained. The cars won't start, the emergency lights are out, and anything with solar panels seems to be getting less energy than you'd expect, even with the perpetually overcast sky.

It's a very silent world, like the calm after a snowstorm. Sounds don't seem to echo as much as they should, nor does sound seem to travel as far. The radio spectrum is empty except for static, there's no one transmitting on any frequency.

There's fewer fires than you'd expect. Even places you'd expect to soon catch fire without human intervention are still standing, undamaged. Campfires can be lit but with difficulty: something is keeping them from burning as they should. Even if you pour kerosene on a campfire it'll barely grow, it's like something sucked the energy out of everything.

All the locked buildings are still locked. Alarms don't sound if you break in (understandable, given the power situation), and of course no one comes to investigate. So The Empty World is your oyster: you can break in wherever you want (provided you can physically do it: some doors are pretty hard to pry open even with tools), take whatever you want, and bring it back here.

Everything resets when you leave. You always enter The Empty World like it's your first time there, like this just happened and you're late to the party... but the party keeps getting rescheduled. You can even take something multiple times if you want.

When you enter The Empty World you get there at the same relative position as you are on this world. If you're in New York, you show up in the empty New York. If you're in Topeka, you show up in empty Topeka. So you have to travel around this world to get to where you want, and you can't just appear in the middle of a bank vault... unless you break into the vault from this world. (So it's great if you work at a bank and want to steal from your employer without repercussions, but not so useful otherwise).

You don't just have to take things, you know. You can take computers and files and books and diaries. You will have to deal with recharging laptops and breaking through any security when you get back, but it's doable.

So, imagine you've just gotten access to The Empty World. What are you going to do with it? What will you take, and where will you go?

Solar Panels to Power Security Cameras - A Comprehensive Guide

With advancements in renewable energy and wireless technology, solar-powered security cameras have become an increasingly popular choice for homeowners and businesses. These cameras offer an eco-friendly and cost-effective way to monitor properties without relying on traditional power sources or extensive wiring. In this blog, we’ll explore the benefits of using solar panels to power security cameras, how they work, and tips for choosing and installing the best solar-powered security camera system for your needs.

Why Choose Solar-Powered Security Cameras?

Solar-powered security cameras combine the benefits of surveillance with the sustainability and independence of solar energy. Here are some reasons why solar-powered systems stand out:

1. Off-Grid Operation: Solar-powered cameras do not rely on the electrical grid, making them perfect for remote areas or locations without nearby power sources. You can install them in rural properties, construction sites, or distant parts of your yard or business premises.

2. Eco-Friendly Surveillance: Solar power is a clean and renewable energy source. By choosing solar-powered security cameras, you reduce your carbon footprint and contribute to a greener planet.

3. Cost Savings: Once installed, solar-powered cameras run on free solar energy. You avoid ongoing electricity costs and potentially expensive electrical work, such as digging trenches for wiring or connecting to the grid.

4. Easy Installation: Solar-powered cameras are wireless, which means there is no need for extensive electrical wiring. This makes them easier to install, move, and maintain compared to traditional wired security systems.

5. Continuous Monitoring During Power Outages: Since solar-powered cameras operate independently of the electrical grid, they continue functioning during power outages. This provides reliable security, especially in areas prone to blackouts or natural disasters.

6. Scalability: Solar-powered camera systems are modular and can be expanded as needed. You can add more cameras or solar panels without extensive infrastructure adjustments.

How Do Solar-Powered Security Cameras Work?

Solar-powered security cameras operate by converting sunlight into electricity, which is then used to power the camera and charge a battery for nighttime use or overcast days. Here’s a breakdown of the main components and how they work together:

1. Solar Panels: These are mounted on or near the camera to capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. Solar panels are sized according to the energy needs of the camera, with higher-wattage panels being necessary for more power-hungry cameras or cloudier regions.

2. Rechargeable Battery: The electricity generated by the solar panels is stored in a rechargeable battery. This battery ensures the camera operates during the night or on days when sunlight is insufficient.

3. Security Camera: Solar-powered security cameras are equipped with features like motion detection, night vision, two-way audio, and remote access. They often connect to your smartphone or home network via Wi-Fi or cellular networks, allowing you to monitor your property from anywhere.

4. Charge Controller: A charge controller manages the energy flow from the solar panel to the battery, ensuring the battery is not overcharged or depleted too quickly. This helps prolong the battery’s lifespan and maintain system efficiency.

Types of Solar-Powered Security Cameras

There are different types of solar-powered security cameras available, each designed for specific needs. Here are the main types:

1. Wi-Fi Solar Security Cameras: These cameras use your home or office’s Wi-Fi network to send video feeds to a connected device, such as a smartphone or tablet. They are ideal for areas with good Wi-Fi coverage and can be monitored remotely.

2. Cellular Solar Security Cameras: Cellular solar cameras are perfect for remote locations without Wi-Fi access. They use 4G or 5G cellular networks to transmit video footage and alerts to your smartphone. These are commonly used in rural or off-grid areas.

3. Fixed Solar Cameras: These cameras have a fixed lens and are designed to monitor a specific area. They are simple to install and are suitable for smaller properties or locations where continuous surveillance of one spot is required.

4. Outdoor Solar Cameras with Floodlights: These cameras come with integrated floodlights for enhanced night-time surveillance. The floodlights are powered by solar energy and are often motion-activated to deter intruders.

Key Considerations When Choosing Solar-Powered Security Cameras

When selecting the best solar-powered security camera system for your property, there are several factors to keep in mind:

1. Power Requirements: Different cameras have varying power requirements. Check the wattage of the camera and make sure the solar panel is capable of providing sufficient energy, especially in low-sunlight conditions. For high-energy cameras, opt for larger solar panels or multiple panels to ensure continuous operation.

2. Battery Capacity: The camera’s battery should be large enough to store sufficient energy for nighttime use or cloudy days. Look for systems with high-capacity batteries to ensure uninterrupted surveillance during periods without sunlight.

3. Weather Resistance: Since solar cameras are typically installed outdoors, they need to withstand various weather conditions. Look for cameras with an IP65 or higher weatherproof rating to ensure durability against rain, wind, and extreme temperatures.

4. Camera Features: Consider the camera’s features, such as night vision, motion detection, two-way audio, and resolution. A higher resolution (1080p or 4K) will provide clearer images, while night vision and motion detection ensure reliable security 24/7.

5. Storage Options: Some solar-powered security cameras offer cloud storage for video footage, while others come with an SD card slot for local storage. Cloud storage offers remote access to footage, but local storage is more private and does not require a monthly fee.

6. Connectivity: Depending on the location, choose between Wi-Fi or cellular cameras. Wi-Fi cameras are ideal for homes and businesses with existing networks, while cellular cameras are suitable for off-grid locations where Wi-Fi is unavailable.

7. Camera Placement: To maximize efficiency, position the camera and solar panel in a spot that receives direct sunlight for most of the day. Avoid placing them in shaded areas, and ensure that the camera’s view covers the necessary parts of your property.

Solar-powered security cameras are an innovative and practical solution for modern surveillance needs. By harnessing the power of the sun, these cameras offer cost-effective, reliable, and eco-friendly security for homes, businesses, and remote locations. With easy installation, scalable options, and uninterrupted operation, solar-powered cameras help you keep your property safe while reducing energy costs and environmental impact.

Whether you’re securing a rural property, monitoring construction sites, or adding extra security to your home, solar-powered cameras provide a smart, sustainable alternative to traditional security systems. Explore the options available and choose the best solar camera system to meet your specific needs!

From that day forward, we became the couple everyone adored. Fans began sharing videos and photos of the kiss, turning it into an iconic moment.

As the weeks passed, our relationship was the talk of the town. But it wasn't long before the news of our little family surprise came to light.

It was late, the dimmed lights in our living room casting soft shadows on the walls as I paced back and forth. The small plastic stick in my hand felt heavy, like it held the weight of the world. My heart pounded as I stared at the two pink lines that confirmed it—I was pregnant.

I had imagined this moment so many times, rehearsing how I would tell him, but now that it was real, my mind was a blur of emotions. Excitement, fear, happiness—everything at once.

Lewis had just gotten home from the gym, his usual easy smile lighting up his face as he stepped inside. He dropped his gym bag by the door, not yet noticing the turmoil in my eyes.

"Hey, love. Everything alright?" He asked, walking over to kiss me on the forehead, his hands automatically settling on my waist. But as he looked down at me, his brow furrowed in concern. He knew something was up.

I took a deep breath, feeling the warmth of his hands on me, grounding me. "Lewis, I… I need to tell you something."

His eyes softened instantly, the worry easing away. He pulled me closer, concern still flickering in his gaze but now mixed with curiosity.

"You’re scaring me a bit, babe. What’s going on?"

I bit my lip, the words almost stuck in my throat. My heart raced as I reached for his hand, slipping the positive pregnancy test into his palm. He looked down at it, confusion crossing his face for a brief second before realization hit him like a wave.

His eyes widened, flicking from the test to me and back to the test again. "Wait… are you serious?"

I nodded, tears springing to my eyes as a nervous laugh escaped me. "Yes, Lewis. We’re going to have a baby."

For a moment, it was like time stood still. He stared at me, his mouth hanging open in disbelief. Then, without warning, he scooped me up into his arms, spinning me around as a wide, joyful laugh escaped him.

"Are you kidding me?!" He was grinning from ear to ear, his excitement so contagious I couldn’t help but giggle, too. "We’re having a baby?!"

"Yeah… we’re having a baby." I nodded, my heart swelling as I saw how happy he was.

Lewis set me down gently, but his arms stayed wrapped around me, his forehead resting against mine.

"I can’t believe this," he whispered, his voice full of awe. "You’re going to be the most amazing mom, you know that?"

"And you’re going to be the best dad. Our little one’s going to be so lucky." I smiled, feeling the butterflies in my stomach.

He pulled back slightly, looking into my eyes, his expression soft and full of love.

"This is the best news I could’ve ever imagined. I love you so much."

"I love you too," I whispered back, my voice catching with emotion.

Lewis placed a hand on my stomach, still grinning like a kid on Christmas morning. "Our little secret," he said, his voice hushed, as if speaking too loud would make it any less real.

As the initial shock and excitement settled in, Lewis and I spent the rest of the evening curled up on the couch, talking about everything that lay ahead. The glow in his eyes hadn’t dimmed one bit; if anything, it had grown brighter with every moment.

"I still can’t believe it," he whispered, running his fingers softly over my stomach. "We’re actually having a baby."

I laughed, leaning my head against his shoulder. "It’s real, Lewis. You’re going to be a dad."

"You know, now that I think about it, when do you reckon we… you know, made this little one?" A playful smirk spread across his face.

I rolled my eyes at his cheeky tone. "Really? That’s what you’re thinking about now?"

"Well," he chuckled, nudging me slightly. "It’s not every day you find out you're going to be a dad. I’m just curious." He paused, tilting his head as if considering the options. "I mean, we’ve been busy lately…"

I snorted, shaking my head. "Busy is an understatement. We travel all the time."

Suddenly, realization dawned on him. His eyes widened, and I saw the gears turning in his head. "Wait… what about Monaco? You remember? After that podium…"

I froze for a second, my mind flashing back to that night. The celebration had been wild—Lewis had just gotten his first podium in a while, and we were on cloud nine. The champagne, the excitement, the adrenaline… and later that night, when we finally got back to our home…

I fele my cheeks flush. "Oh my God, Lewis."

He grinned like a Cheshire cat, clearly putting it all together. "That’s when it happened, didn’t it? The night of the podium celebration! No wonder the timing makes sense."

I covered my face with my hands, laughing as the memory came flooding back. "I can’t believe this! You’re right. That’s when it happened."

Lewis burst out laughing, clearly delighted by the connection. "No wonder I felt so invincible that weekend. Turns out, we had a little extra reason to celebrate!"

I playfully swatted his arm, though I couldn’t stop laughing either. "We’ll never live this down, you know. People are going to figure it out, and the teasing is going to be relentless."

He shrugged, still grinning like a fool. "Let them talk. They can tease us all they want. As long as I’ve got you and this little one, I don’t care."

I smiled, leaning into him, feeling the warmth of his words. "You’re such a sap sometimes, you know that?"

He chuckled, kissing the top of my head. "Only for you, love."

As we sat there, wrapped in each other and in the realization of what was to come, I couldn’t help but think about how crazy our journey had been so far. And now, with a baby on the way, it was about to get even crazier. But with Lewis by my side, I knew we could handle anything—even the endless teasing from our friends and fans.

"Just wait until the guys hear about this," he said with a wink, already anticipating the chaos to come.

I rolled my eyes again but smiled. "Oh, I’m sure they’ll never let us forget it."
