Farmers panic as Trump threatens $1 billion in grants — that they've already spent
Martin McGuinness died on 21st March 2017. He was a former IRA commander and Sinn Fein political leader who helped negotiate peace in Northern Ireland after decades of sectarian violence, and became a senior official in its power-sharing government.
Hey current #orangeintheOval #regime! Why is #tsmc coming to #arizona?
Thanks to the #CHIPS act that’s why! we have semiconductor manufacturers coming to the States. Not because of something you thought of yesterday. Just exactly how stupid are the people who voted for Donald Trump? The 22.7% of the population who did? I think a subset of you are just cynical and greedy, larger than the subset who are gullible believers.
Thank you Gina #Raimundo and congress that Passed this…And the #ira.
In deep-red #HardinCounty, #Kentucky, #workers are trying to #unionize a new electric vehicle battery plant. If #DonaldTrump scraps the #IRA, it may cost thousands of his supporters safe, well-paying #jobs.

Great news from expert outlook for clean energy this year- really!
93% of new power plants will be renewables: solar, battery storage, wind
Total electricity produced by fossil gas will *fall*. Gas is the main fossil fuel producing electricity in US now (not coal)
Multi year trend accelerating, Biden-era investments and legislation paying off
Nobody tell

Final tally on #cleanenergy win:
Americans bought 32% more clean air-source heat pumps than fossil gas furnaces in 2024.
Biggest margin ever!
20 year trend, aka much bigger than
Got big bump from Biden's #IRA tax credits, also normal trend of how new tech is adopted.
Heat pumps for housing are major part of states' climate plans

Harrison Ford, Brad Pitt – „Vertrauter Feind“ (1997)
Aus einem zusammengestümperten Skript, das Jahre in der Entwicklung war und dabei ein halbes Dutzend Autoren (alles Männer) verschlissen hat, noch einen Blockbuster zu machen, das gelingt nicht vielen. Alan J. Pakula hat es dennoch irgendwie hinbekommen – und dabei noch zwei Superstars und deren Egos soweit unter Kontrolle – dass doch ein ansehnlicher Polit-Thriller dabei herausgekommen ist.

The #retirement system in the #US almost by default ties our livelihoods to the successes of #oligarchs. Have a #401k or #IRA? You're probably invested in the businesses of #Musk, #Zuckerberg, and #Bezos not to mention #bigoil companies.
