This reminds me of the shale methane situation with fracking in PA when it cost more to extract gas than the selling price. While fossil fuel fracking is expensive, there is no charge for sunshine and wind. It's (past) time to stop subsidizing fossil fuels and go all in for renewables.

A note for my upstate NY neighbors and others in the US: UK is much further north than the US with much less area for solar and wind installation. The US could power itself with wind, solar, and water plus storage and not rely on fossil fuels. We just need to say NO to the fossil fuel industry.

Great Britain pretty much powered by wind and sun right now. The place that literally launched the coal based Industrial Revolution - running on invisible stuff falling from the sky. And I make fun of religion…

At a time when we already spend more on the military than the next nine nations combined… At a time when everyone knows there is massive waste and fraud in the Pentagon… Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill increases defense spending by $150 billion. Outrageous.

Whenever you hear conservative politicians preach from the gospel of "fiscal responsibility," remember that one of the biggest drivers of deficits lately are the Bush and Trump tax cuts, which have added nearly $10 trillion to the national debt.

At a time of massive inequality, Trump's budget is breathtaking in its degree of cruelty. It slashes funding for health care, housing & education that the working class desperately needs in order to pay for more tax breaks for billionaires & the Pentagon. That is morally obscene.

Under Trump, Americans are relearning the lesson we learned about the oligarchy during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

No attorney general should ever speak like this. She's Trump's advocate, not the people's lawyer, which is what the AG's job is. Whatever state she is barred in should start disciplinary proceedings immediately. This isn't subtle or arguable, it's wrong.
