From Joe:
We all want cleaner, more renewable energy. But when it comes down to it, the energy of the future is going to be the cheapest energy. So in this video we compare energy production by the Levelized Cost of Energy, or LCOE - the formula that will determine our energy future.

COVID-19 Vaccine Tracker via WaPo
I love me some data.
WaPo is doing us all a favor and providing a (free to view) tracker on the rollout of the vaccine. The goal is to get 100 million people vaccinated in Biden’s first 100 days.
So far, we’re 22% of the way there with 91 days to go.
Here’s a look at the percentage of vaccinations by state:
Where I reside in DC, here’s a look at how the city (soon to be state) is performing:

How Francis Suarez Is Making Miami Better for Small Business
The most admired guy right now in Silicon Valley is not Elon Musk or Chamath Palihapitiya, it’s Miami mayor Francis Suarez.
He’s been the reason so many from the valley having been hyping up Miami as the spot to be in. His new program EStart is extremely important. It shortens the business formation process from months to days.
EStart's goal is to reduce processing time for entrepreneurs from several months to several days, or perhaps even faster. To achieve this, the city applied process improvement techniques such as Lean and Design Thinking to streamline user experience. They learned lessons from the city's 2018 launch of ePlan, a system that digitizes and speeds up applications for building permits. As a result, eStart consolidates the application process onto a single form, so entrepreneurs only have to provide their data one time, up front, instead of submitting multiple forms. Consequently, they can get decisions faster and more definitively, before making expensive business commitments. EStart also provides entrepreneurs with step-by-step maps of remaining procedures.
