It’s a time when emotions run in extremes. Expressions of fabulous warmth and generosity bring us joy. Callous indifference to others’ suffering makes us sad. Greedy profiteering in emergency conditions makes us angry.
At least that’s how this doctor reacted, and it’s hard to disagree.
This never should be happening in the United States–and especially not now.
Here’s a compilation of interviews with people coming out of a church service a couple of days ago in Ohio–one to which she had brought her little kids. (more…)
For some reason, there is an enormous amount of fake news in the renewable energy sector. Why? Who benefits? (more…)
Think about this. You’re driving along an unlit road, and your car passes one of these lamps, creating the gentlest of breezes that creates a tiny, almost imperceptible bit of light, shining on the road–behind you. Does that seem practical?
Anyone driving to the grocery store can see that COVID-19 has dramatically reduced demand for gasoline and diesel. That, coupled with low oil prices, has caused the fossil fuel companies to cut their investment in renewables and other carbon mitigation strategies. (more…)
