A good example of one of the ways in which the "good old days" were terrible:

In the 1880s, the average US rural housewife had to haul water into the house 8-10 times a day, 36 tons of water a year. And also haul out ashes & waste. (From “The Rise and Fall of American Growth”).

Solar in 2025 grew 19x faster than experts at the International Energy Agency predicted in 2015.

Solar is now the fastest growing electricity source in human history.

Wind and solar have now beaten fossil fuels in Great Britain for a record 15 months in a row

Just a decade ago, fossil fuels were generating four times more than wind + solar

Now that's flipped: Since the Iran war, wind and solar generated twice as much as fossil fuels

planners should stop trying to match jobs and residents to encourage short commutes. some urbanist "15 minute city" types keep trying to do this

never works in practice, and actually encourages job sprawl

Today the bottom half of Wuhan's monster ring metro line opened. This bottom section is 35 km long, fully underground, with 23 stations and uses 6 car Type A fully automated metro trains. This extension pushes the 21 year old Wuhan Metro to over 550km long. Video by 丶文 吇

Potentially hyper-cheap sodium batteries are becoming commercially available and are getting LFP battery specs. This is nuts! This could lead to *incredibly* cheap batteries!

Often the smartest transportation investments aren’t the most expensive ones. Villo!, Brussels’ public (e-)bike system, has one of the lowest barriers to entry: €1.50 per day or €3.50 per month for unlimited half-hour rides (starting at just €4 per month for electric bikes).🧵

Bicycling is the most efficient mode of transportation.

Humans on bikes burn the least amount of energy per gram of weight per kilometer of travel any other animal or technology.
