We have to support one another against all odds as we seek liberation and equity. Black History Month, for me, means embracing my Blackness, discovering what brings me Black Joy, whether it’s staying at home binge-watching a Netflix series or being physically in the streets making sure the message I’ve been trying to convey for the past few months is heard: Black Lives Matter. Black people don’t need direction on what brings us Black joy. Black people don’t need to be silenced in decision-making. Black people don’t need seats at any table because we’re constructing our own ineradicable, platformed table. Black people are creating spaces for themselves and ensuring inevitable change is in favor of the Black community.
The gospel of hydrogen power
Ever since Musk called fuel cells staggeringly dumb, there has been a fierce rivalry between lithium-ion and hydrogen backers

In December, the California Fuel Cell Partnership tallied 8,890 electric cars and 48 electric buses running on hydrogen batteries, which are refillable in minutes at any of 42 stations there. On the East Coast, the number of people who own and drive a hydrogen electric car is somewhat lower. In fact, there is just one. His name is Mike Strizki. He is so devoted to hydrogen fuel-cell energy that he drives a Toyota Mirai even though it requires him to refine hydrogen fuel in his yard himself.
