impermanen_ 🕊️Burning stuff for fuel isn’t just dirty, it’s expensive. 95% of new energy production is now renewable. But sure, we can keep calling <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/wind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wind</a> and <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#solar</a> “alternative energy.” After all, it took a lot of fancy words to keep early death from smoking normalized for as long as we did.
