Will solar PV soon be the cheapest source of electricity in most places around the world? This @NatureComms paper says yes. Most surprisingly this is AFTER including short- and long-term storage costs for renewable energy sources. nature.com/articles/s4146…

How the world has evolved over the last century in terms of: - Child mortality - Life expectancy - GDP - Women's education - Basic water source - Basic sanitation [📊 toddrjones]


This is why #CleanAir should have been the 18th #GlobalGoal

Shenzen is the first city in the world to all its public transportation electric. 16,000 buses, 20,000 taxis all without combustion engines. Who's next? We have so many solutions. Dump fossil fuels and implement them. #ActOnClimate #Climate #Energy #Evs #renewables



#Anxiety and depression now adversely affects the wellbeing of more than 25% of the UK population. But this report makes clear the main cause is NOT mental illness, but widespread economic insecurity. The cure we all need is #BasicIncome @scottsantens bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

Brexit remains such a dumb decision. Nobody got what they wanted out of this. The nation collectively is worse off. The European community was weakened. Thank you @JosephPolitano for this chart.

Most UK growth since 2010 was result of net migration. "GDP per capita has grown by a mere 4.3% over the past 16 years." All politicians need to recognise that further advances in UK quality of life will come not from growth, but by reducing waste #Lean theguardian.com/business/artic…

The notion that jobs are the only marker of contributing to society belongs in history's dustbin. Imagine a society where caretaking and exploration are as valued. That's the potential of universal basic income - it liberates us from the 9-5 model to pursue what truly matters.

For centuries #TheGlobalRace has been drawing family trees upside down - asserting genetic superiority to perpetuate #ThemAndUs thinking. But once we understand that we are ALL descended from the SAME ancestors we finally see the truth - that there is only one "us". #GlobalGoals

Do not confuse welfare with UBI. If you get $1k in welfare does it make sense to take a $1k job, lose your welfare and end up with the same $1k? No. If you get $1k UBI, does it make sense to take a $1k job and up with $2k? Yes. This is why so many pilots show increases in work.

Republicans tried to put a stop to this basic income pilot in Iowa where they've now banned public funding of pilots without work requirements. One year into the 2-year pilot of $500/mo, here's how it's going and how it will continue with private funding. desmoinesregister.com/story/news/202…

This is the correct take, and he even includes that it radicalizes both the far right and far left. This is the kind of thing I think about when people say universal basic income costs too much. We may pay for the lack of UBI with the loss of our democracy. Put a price on that.

Obama really drives home the point that we got to adapt our safety nets to make sure our democracy stays strong in the face of automation's massive impact. We need #BasicIncome, an updated safety net in a time of automation.

Europe/EU lags far behind USA and China in #TheGlobalRace for IT companies. This piece asks why?

1/ Europe doesn't have a tech industry. But why is that the case? The short answer: it's not because of regulation. 🧵A thread:
