A friend writes:

I get called out by farmers for using the word “sustainability” because nature is dynamic and doesn’t hold to a level. The word they prefer is “regenerative” as it is closer to the complex system of nature and its energy exchanges. I don’t have an argument for or against it.

I don’t think I’ve ever run across enmity to the would “sustainability,” which is strange, because I’ve been at this for 17 years, and I’ve incurred the wrath of an uncountable number of people, especially climate deniers. I laughed out loud when a caller into a radio show on which I was being interviewed called me a “cockroach.”

I would say that “sustainable” and “regenerative,” while certainly not mutually exclusive, are actually two different things.

There are dozens of different ways to define “sustainability,” but the one I use is: “A society’s meeting its needs without making it impossible for future generations to meet theirs.” From the perspective of farming, normally this is called “sustainable agriculture,” but calling it “regenerative” works just fine for me, and adds more depth of understanding.

At left we see an example of how the rest of the world views Trump and the United States of 2026.

A blend of pity, contempt, and ridicule.

At the top of the news is the Trump’s administration’s day-long prayer event featured speakers from President Trump’s cabinet and a program that drew connections between the nation’s founding and Christianity.

However, as shown below, there is in fact no such connection.

I spend a decent amount of time on social media–enough to see the 5- to 10-fold increase in posts that are essentially long-debunked myths about solar and wind that has taken place over just the past few months.
