DC needs to help states utilize built housing. In California especially developers are rushing to build all over b/c SB79 removes community say, greenlighting 6-story structures with no parking in R2 zoned neighborhoods. That's a lot of trees.
BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests
One billion board feet per year... 20 days to make your voice heard.
They filter drinking water for downstream communities. They hold soil on steep slopes above salmon streams that are already in crisis. They’re home to the northern spotted owl, the marbled murrelet, coho salmon, steelhead, and hundreds of species that evolved over millennia in conditions you can’t replicate by planting seedlings in rows.

@Reuters@JonahDispatch Okay. And Exxon Mobile researched climate change decades ago. And smoking doctors once appeared in cigarette ads. Corporations have never been on the side of consumers. And government is elected with money.
@CeresNews System wide carbon price. But please don't "keep me posted on the things I most care about." Quantify the physicsal and economic of harm to people and animals and make the case. For a systemwide steadily increasing carbon price. FFS.

I'm excited to share that H.R. 7409, the HEATS Act, has passed the House. This bill amends the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 to streamline geothermal energy projects by waiving the need for a federal drilling permit on some lands and exempting specific activities from the National Environmental Policy Act. This is a win for sustainable, clean energy development, helping us unlock geothermal potential while reducing bureaucratic delays.
