My unsolicited environmental recommendation of the day: this episode of "Why Is This Happening?"

The conversation between @drvolts and @chrislhayes is accessible to those who know little about the power system, and it's smart, funny and quite profound. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/powering-the-grid-with-david-roberts/id1382983397?i=1000510291170

OPINION: Despite the governor's shortcomings -- most recently, the rollout of the COVID vaccine -- none of the state's Democrats show any interest in challenging him in 2022. https://wbur.fm/3k9W2nf
