Oh hey cool, an op-ed I wrote is now published!
TLDR: we need *fewer* satellites, each with *longer* operational lifetimes. Engineers: that's your challenge.
Thousands of satellites with incredibly short lifetimes are being sent up into low Earth orbit. When they fall back down they're fireballs of pollution — and what doesn't burn up hits the ground.
We've seen plenty of bad tech bills in recent years, often cloaked in vague language about "online safety." But Florida’s SB 868 doesn’t even pretend to be subtle: the state wants a backdoor into encrypted platforms if minors use them, and for law enforcement to have easy access to your messages....
If you want to stay warm in the winter, move to the city of Västerås in Sweden. Because when energy runs out, they have a battery that can keep the entire city warm for two additional weeks. Not an electric battery, but a cave with 100,000 cubic metres of water, used for storing heat.
This project has delivered energy security while cutting CO2 emissions.

Remember Friends:
You cannot both have secure end-to-end encryption to protect your communication AND also have a backdoor/key/access only for "the good guys."
This is not possible.
Do not believe anyone telling you otherwise.
End-to-end encryption protects us all,
we must fight to keep it ✊🔒
