The Civil War Between Science and Its Enemies
The meme to the left here suggests an interesting and important conversation. Yes, we live in a bizarre point in time in which American society has become so radically anti-science, yet even our complete idiots accept the legitimacy of things …

Good News for U.S. Workers–And On Labor Day, No Less
The solar and wind energy industries are growing at rates that even experts didn’t predict. Solar energy sector jobs grew at a rate 17 times faster (and wind jobs 9 times faster) than the overall U.S. economy in 2016. Of course, this …
