Today, in Utah, homeowners *or renters* can simply buy a solar panel at Costco, take it home, and plug it in to a wall socket, like an appliance. It just sits there & trims about 15-20% off a residential power bill. If you move to another apt., you can take it with you.

A depraved and decadent Trump WH dinner for MBS was a stunning low for an American ruling class that's stopped pretending to carry a moral compass
It was really a celebration of death - of democracy, of an overheating planet, and ultimately themselves. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/ceos...

I find the discourse about the Trump Zohran meeting disturbing. And the meeting itself. This isn’t a game where Zohran gets points by charming or trolling Trump. Trump is a rapist, criminal responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths. Humanizing him in any way is not good.

Kathy Hochul could bring down bills and protect our future by building 15 gigawatts of public renewables.
Instead, she's raising bills to build Trump's fracked gas pipeline and a crypto mine.
Is this why?

There is a thing going around that we shouldn’t talk about climate anymore bc Zohran won on an affordability agenda and I just really disagree with that assessment of his campaign and the *scientific* reality we live in
