Everything we need to do to stop climate breakdown, we also need to do for national security. Energy saving, more renewables, more electricity storage and interconnectors, electrification of transport, heating, cooking and industrial processes, plant-based diets. We win on all fronts.

So the Send to Kindle via email and desktop app doesn't let you send .mobi files, the Kindle's default format, to your Kindle. So I have to use Calibre to convert them to epub so I can then send the book to my Kindle, which will convert them back. What a waste of time.
