The chemical lobby and some House Republicans want to exempt plastics incineration from the Clean Air Act—letting toxic air pollution that causes cancer, birth defects, brain damage and premature death to escape regulation.

Good for the dang Wolves if they can get Coby!
The Timberwolves feel like they are a title contender and also a point guard short of completing that, so while they've kicked the tires on big-name items like Ja and Kyrie, White is a realistic option they can settle on. Will the sinking Bulls be willing to part with him, however?

A MUST READ to understand how wind energy was killed in the US (and how this “a lifelong conservationist” was at the center of it) by @fieseler.bsky.social for @canarymedia.com 👇
In Feb 2023, I attended a climate skeptics conference in Orlando. I was the only reporter.
David Stevenson told me there that the offshore wind industry would “crumble” before it reached South Carolina. And that he was leading the opposition.
I followed him for 3 years and wrote this story.

The man behind the fall of offshore wind
David Stevenson has solar on his roof and drives a hybrid. How did he become the leader of the movement that helped Trump crush offshore wind farms?

It seems like the bottom line is don’t buy a new Tesla, don’t buy a used Tesla.
Consumer Reports ranks Teslas as the least reliable used cars. "The best of the worst [ten] was Chevrolet at a score of 40. But Tesla makes that failing grade seem respectable with its absolute rock bottom rating of 31, trailing Jeep by just one point.” futurism.com/advanced-tra...

It’s bananas to me because republicans *do* have a platform- it’s lowering the cost of doing business for corporations at anyone and anything’s expense while lowering the tax rate on the wealthy, even if it’s subsidized by a higher cost burden on low-income families.

The affordability crisis is an inequality crisis. When prices spike in key sectors, it's not just inflation—it's a massive redistribution shock that hits poor households hardest.
