@wllbarness Btc using oil and gas that otherwise would’ve been flared makes fossil fuels more competitive and works against clean energy, by my understanding

[Jesse Simmons @JesseLuca]

@wllbarness The quote “You can think of bitcoin as the ultimate energy subsidy” was meant to be a compliment, but idk. There’s plenty of demand for energy - Q for me is btc making clean energy more competitive and is it not cannibalizing electricity (from any source) from existing demand?

[Jesse Simmons @JesseLuca]

@wllbarness Thanks for sending! Think it’s perfect alongside Krugman’s recent piece. The quote “When they get on a plane, they’re not buying carbon offsets” drives me crazy, b/c I can’t fly to Boston with #btc Any premise that starts with seeing crypto as some necessary public good loses me

In Maine, we have no voter ID laws, we have same day registration, we have no-excuse absentee voting, we have mail-in voting, we have early voting, we have 24/7 drop boxes.

And we have virtually no fraud.

Expanding ballot access doesn't encourage fraud; it encourages VOTING.

One lesson of covering policy over the past 20 years is that whatever Elizabeth Warren is thinking about now is what Washington is going to be talking about next. https://t.co/sfITJ2j8P2
