Honestly, is he the ONLY person who can take on Mills? Surely there a couple of other people who would be good candidates and did not accidentally get a Nazi tat or broadcast horrid stuff on social media. Let him serve in some other capacity.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

From the early 1700s to now, education has never been neutral for Native people. It has been a weapon, a battleground, and — in recent years — a site of reclamation

Hey, just want to mumble that this is wildly illegal and inappropriate and would prompt impeachment proceedings if we still had a functional Congress instead of one run by a blind, deaf and mute Renfeld wannabe.

A friend's rural electric co-op worsened their already bad policies on solar. So he got a whole house battery & is now off grid. More & more ppl will happily cut the cord. Particularly galling that RECs are doing this. Should be helping more go solar. No longer co-ops. Munis should also be ashamed.

‘monthly charge imposed by the city of Bowling Green’s municipal utility…roughly $56 per month…roughly doubles solar system payback…$4-per-kilowatt monthly charge…net metering rate of 7.5¢/kWh vs charge of ~13¢/kWh’

Why one Ohio couple is suing their city over rooftop solar fees

The city's utility says the charge is only fair to customers without solar, but the couple argues it’s an illegal penalty. The dispute echoes a nationwide…

Something like 80% of the used lithium-ion batteries in the country go to Redwood Materials for recycling. So they had a thought: what if we hook all these used batteries up as grid-scale storage until they're completely tapped out, and *then* recycle them? Thus was born: Redwood Energy.

Can "second life" EV batteries work as grid-scale energy storage?

Colin Campbell explains how Redwood drains every drop of capacity from used batteries before they are recycled.

On Friday, I'm talking with a transit expert about the authority governors have to shift the final year of Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill funding away from highways, to EVs, transit, & pedestrians. Many governors do not know they have this authority! And this year is a crucial window!

Questions?

States Have More Power Than They Think to Fund Sustainable Transportation

States have the authority to fund trains, buses, bike lanes, and sidewalks with money that would otherwise be used to build more highways.

I'm happy to watch former MSM journos on Substack, but imo too many are swishing around in the same limited pool of guests or guesting on each other's programs. Let's honor & thank the original indie media news show @democracynow.org & Amy Goodman. They actually cover the news & real newsmakers.
