Climate BreakRerun: Public Utilities Commissions, with EarthJustice’s Jill TauberWhat are public utility commissions (PUCs)? In the transition to clean energy, state public utility commissions (PUCs), which regulate electric, gas, telecommunications, water and wastewater utilities, play an increasingly important role in achieving energy efficiency, enabling renewable energy, and implementing policies for greenhouse gas emissions reduction. PUCs play a pivotal role in determining the energy mix, setting rates, and deciding on investments in infrastructure, such as electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), for example, has to balance safety, reliable utility service, and reasonable rates through the regulation of various large investor-owned electric, nat...2025-07-2301 min

Berkeley TalksHow the tobacco industry drove the rise of ultra-processed foodsIn the early 1960s, R.J. Reynolds, one of the largest and most profitable tobacco companies in the U.S. at the time, wanted to diversify its business. Its marketing strategies had been highly successful in selling its top brands, like Camel, Winston and Salem cigarettes, and executives thought, Why not apply the same strategies to, say, the food industry?So in 1963, R.J. Reynolds acquired Hawaiian Punch. It marked the beginning of the tobacco industry’s entry into the food sector. In the following decades, R.J. Reynolds and Philip Morris expanded aggressively into the...2025-06-2757 min

The Sound Mind#28 Redefining Success as a CreativeIn this episode, I dive into redefining success as a creative and why external markers like getting up early or being constantly busy aren’t the key to growth. I talk about the disconnect between time spent and output, the importance of getting out of the “busy mindset,” and how to focus on what actually moves the needle. I also share my approach to backing vocals, advice for getting into production, tips on time management, and thoughts on finding the right management, label, or agent. Plus, how being more intentional with your creativity can lead to deeper, more fulfilling work.2025-02-1725 minClimate BreakPublic Utilities Commissions, with EarthJustice’s Jill TauberWhat are public utility commissions (PUCs)?
