The Climate Change Committee has modelled the likely impact of the war in the Middle East on energy prices & compared that to the costs to consumers of a full-tilt green transition towards net zero, and guess what:

the costs of shifting to net zero are a lot less than the costs of (continuing) disruptions to the supply of fossil fuels.

So, not only is a shift to renewables good for the environment, it also make sound geopolitical & economic sense!

Time to commit!!!

PSDI has sought input from key stakeholders and worked with different partners to identify community needs for in-person and self-paced training, guidance resources, webinars, and workshops that provide the opportunity for peer discussion and learning.

PSDI continues to work with the data curation community to identify future directions for our resource development and community engagement.

Reflect Orbital wants to destroy the night sky to deliver "sunlight as a service". SpaceX wants to destroy Low Earth Orbit to launch one million "AI datacentres"

The only way to formally protest these two ideas is to file a comment with the US FCC, which is horribly complicated, but the American Astronomical Society has detailed instructions posted here: https://aas.org/posts/advocacy/2026/02/how-submit-comments-satellite-applications-fcc

Comments due March 6 for SpaceX and March 9 for Reflect Orbital. Write! Write! Write!
