Love the name she gave the project! Of course she is using solar powered floodlights to illuminate what corporate interests are doing to undermine climate action.
Thanks for telling us about another knot being tied in the web of reason and resistance: each connection in the web strengthens it and allows others on the web to feel a tug when another fly gets caught.
I admire that you, along with Emily Holden, pushed back against the argument that climate journalists need to avoid making people uncomfortable in order to be effective. I think the opposite is true: if you provide people with a clear-eyed assessment of the problem, it will make them uncomfortable, but that discomfort is more likely to effect the widespread change to the infrastructure we need. I'm reading McKibben's _Falter_ right now, and am so impressed that he doesn't sugar-coat the crisis we face (and he's so nice!) We need journalists to tell us the truth, even if (momentarily) it might make us want to lie down on the floor and moan. That's what we have pets for, so they can come lick our faces in these moments. Love me the Fish pics :)
Emily, I am so impressed with your work, and that of Emily Holden. But I am most impressed that you, a one-person (so far) shop covering climate change would promote and herald the work of one of your major competitors. That's collaboration! Good on!

Like the idea of getting into local communities like that! It makes good sense. The piece Emily A did on Cal Gas in San Luis Obispo was instructive and helped us look at them in Santa Barbara too.
Fish leads a wonderful life. <3
Also, I always find the Fish pictures uplifting. So thanks for always sharing them.

Thanks for the link to Floodlight
That initial story in Floodlight is similar to what Dr. Leah Stokes wrote about in Short Circuiting Policy.
Glad to have both you Emilys reporting and advocating for better climate policy.
Awesome so fricking awesome thx for sharing how your and Holden’s work is collaborative and complementary. ESSENTIAL.
