when evaluating protest action, i consider the following questions:
- do i agree with the ultimate objective the protest action is seeking to advance?
- does the action (in the cold light of day, seen as objectively as possible) effectively advance the objective?
- does the action seek to minimise harm to everything but the ultimate target of the protest?

would love to hear others’ ideas

I’m coping with the stress of finding all my favorite people on Mastodon by pretending they’re Pokémon. “Yesssss, just caught JordanLHawk! New one for the Mastodex!”

Hi all - I'm new to Mastadon and thought I'd introduce myself. While I have worked on almost all aspects of energy economics and modelling since the mid 1990s, I have been focussed on net-zero deep decarbonization since 2014, and specifically industrial decarbonization since 2017 (https://www.energypolicy.columbia.edu/dr-chris-bataille). Here's a link to what may be my last long Twitter thread, which might be
summarized as just say no to silver bullets 🤣 https://twitter.com/bataille_chris/status/1592240823382732800?s=20&t=9E1JLJI2fRXRASLCu_8MUA
