Bike Lane Uprising® @bikelaneuprise
23K Followers 11K Following We're making it easy to report cars in bike lanes & hold violators accountable. Report obstructions with our mobile app anywhere in the USA & CanadaWe continue to see @ChicagoDOT failing to present designs that adequately protect pedestrians and cyclists, particularly at intersections — and their latest proposals for Division St are no different. Thanks @OnTheBlockChi for letting us share about what needs to improve.
Today is the last day to email public comment about this bridge. Please email this design concept and your other thoughts about Division St to [email protected]
Last night at the Division St Public Meeting I asked the bridge engineer if concrete bike protection loads could be added to the structural loads of the new bridge…to put it simply he said that he won’t be designing to that. Here’s my proposal, same exact loads:
So huge grocery shopping trips, daily commuting, Xmas tree pickup (and disposal) and camping have been achieved. BUT! Ferrying a human is still on the list. My wife wants nothing to do with it. Who wants to go for a ride on the LFP? Within a mile or 2 of Edgewater? DM me.
I found out about it this weekend because I listen to the dorkiest, most inside-baseball climate podcast on Earth, Shift Key. (If you want to actually care about climate change, this (and Volts from @drvolts) are the podcasts!) x.com/robinsonmeyer/…
NEW SHIFT KEY: The EPA’s rules on carbon pollution from power plants are finally here. @JesseJenkins and I break down how they work, what they mean for US climate goals, and why they depend so heavily on carbon capture. (It’s all about the courts.) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shi…
Now, do you think I found out about it when tens of thousands of people shared tweets about it? Yeah, of course not. The Sierra Club and NRDC and Earth Justice all tweeted excitedly about it and got...dozens of likes. Governor Jay Inslee GOT RATIOED OVER IT!
They worked for years to make a legally strong case that the EPA has the ability to regulate the majority of our power sector's CO2 emissions out of existence and it ALMOST DIDN'T HAPPEN and it's a testament to hard, smart, long work that it did.
The coal lobby has always said "Carbon Capture is the Future" so the Biden Admin is saying "OK, 2032 sounds like the future to me....here are the tools to get there. If it isn't the future, then stop emitting CO2 by shutting down."
But then the Supreme Court (with justices appointed by GWB) stopped the regulation from going into effect, and eventually said, "OK, you can regulate CO2, but you can't create a carbon market. You can only regulate individual power plants."
The Obama admin quickly interfaced with the EPA and attempted to do the obvious thing...create a carbon market where different sectors could trade credits so we could decarbonize as efficiently as possible.
It began in 2005 when the Massachusettes sued the EPA saying, "You have to regulate harmful emissions and CO2 is a harmful emission." The Supreme Court agreed and the EPA sent their findings to the Bush administration which REFUSED TO OPEN THE EMAIL and stalled until Obama.
This is a big deal that will dramatically increase our chances of hitting the 2050 target. The rules also say that this switch away from coal can't be accomplished by just building base-load natural gas plants (unless they are not emitting CO2.)
Coal plants are just 20% of our power mix right now, but because it's so dirty, it's still more than half of the power sector's CO2 emissions. The new rules say that coal fired power plants need to capture all of their CO2 by 2032 or close by 2039.
As the old slogan goes, burn ass not gas 💪

I don't have the time to do it, but I'll keep saying that someone should do a project like @chiwhobike that interviews & highlights people who bike in DC to humanize them & show that it's not just a bunch of "smug assholes" but people just living their lives, including families
Some people post pictures of a middle finger at an anti bike lane sign as examples of such terrible behavior. Meanwhile my inbox is full of crap like this. Want me to start outting these people too?
@chiwhobike He's basically saying the current infrastructure only works for those that are comfortable being uncomfortable and that isn't good enough to serve everyone. Another great interview video by you all. Keep these going, they're great!
