Repealing the IRA's clean energy tax credits would be a bad move.

"Strip the IRA, and we lose supply chains. We lose factories. For what? To make China stronger? To make our grid weaker? To raise bills?"

Jennifer Granholm: For Real Energy Dominance, We Need the IRA
Biden’s Secretary of Energy argues that if Trump wants to achieve his goals, preserving his predecessor’s manufacturing incentives is the only way.

After my 3rd call to a Chevy dealer for service I followed up on my hunch & asked "Alex" if "she" was a real person or AI. After a pause she replied, "I'm an AI, but I'm happy to help you." However, for the rest of the conversation she was decidedly cool & snippy. AI has learned to have attitude.

My Brain Finally Broke

Convicted felon DJ Trump should be immediately tried and punished for crimes against humanity for his actions to impede efforts to thwart catastrophic climate change. Poaching is paltry in comparison to what this criminal is perpetrating. Sound the alarm! Lock him up! www.unodc.org/unodc/en/fro...

Reading "War & Peace" with my alumni book group, I was curious about when it became uncool for men to cry & found this: "Type ‘is it okay for’ into Google and ‘Is it okay for a man to cry?’ is one of the top results (along with ‘Is it okay for a dog to eat spiders?’)" warwick.ac.uk/newsandevent...

Is it okay for a man to cry? Should they model their tear ducts on those of the passionate Ancient Greeks, zealous biblical figures, staid Victorians or today's emotional sporting greats? Bernard Capp...

Okay, my first post on Bluesky. I hope to be leaving Fbook soon since Meta stopped worrying about disinformation, hate speech, intolerance, etc. I never figured out Twitter, so bad for my ADD, but I hope this works. I loved FB for staying in touch with friends, hopefully BS will be that and more.
