California shut down its last coal plant last week and nobody even noticed, it made so little little difference.
Meanwhile solar is up 17% and gas is down 17% from 2024. I have a few highlights... www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/ding-dong-...

The paradox is cruel. Puerto Rico—denied sovereignty and voting rights in Congress, constrained by an unelected fiscal control board, and still rebuilding from Maria—has no power over the defense or foreign policy decisions that shape its fate.
