Pourquoi la géothermie, solution durable à la crise énergétique, peine à décoller : l’explication en quatre graphiques
La consommation énergétique française est très dépendante des hydrocarbures qu’elle importe, comme le montrent les effets du blocage du détroit d’Ormuz. Pourtant, il existe dans notre sous-sol une source d’énergie décarbonée et peu exploitée : la géothermie.

I wanna jump one more time on the whole "distraction" framing, because this is a point that needs to be hammered home (and I need a reminder to write something longer).
Attacks on trans youth are not a distraction from other types of coercion, they are central to it. Attacks on trans youth come from a conceptualization of children as property, which is literally patriarchy in the Roman sense of the legal objectification all people who share a household as belonging to a man. This legal structure, Roman slave law, continues to be the root of property rights and therefore the foundation of capitalism.
But colonialism also extends from it through the infantalization of colonized people as a justification for oppression. This can also be turned inward again manifesting as the justification for police (that is, some people "can't handle themselves and need external authority to act right").
The #Epstein stuff isn't some weird thing that rich people get away with, it's core to how wealth works. Money isn't useful by itself, it's a proxy for power. One manifestation of power is being able to violate laws that constrain others (this is the "freedom of the monarch" that Graeber talks about in Dawn of Everything). The war in Iran, especially the threats of nuclear weapons and genocide is not a distraction from the #EpsteinFiles, but rather a manifestation of the same thing.
Power must be demonstrated to affirm that it is real. War is a demonstration power. Violating the law without consequences is a demonstration of power. The most taboo things are using nuclear weapons and child sexual abuse. He has already done one of those, and he is going to do everything he can to do the other.
These are not distractions, these are all manifestations of the underlying thing that we need to fight. But we need to make sure we're fighting it as a single thing. We have to tie these things together, because if we do not then we risk reproducing the same thing again but worse.

Okay, I need the prog supervisors to have a charter amendment ready to go to require BOS confirmation for mayoral appointees that fill vacancies. If it doesn't have six votes now, so be it, just have it ready for that final vote the minute Chow/Gee or Brooke are seated. It is very unusual and obviously prone to corruption that SF lets its mayor fill vacancies unilaterally
