Lawmakers demand details of a Mar-a-Lago dinner where Trump promised to ease regulations on the oil industry while asking executives to steer $1 billion to his 2024 campaign.
Considering the very common practice of lobbyists drafting up specific legislation for politicians to use, i dont think this is the case. Or at the very least has zero enforcement.
Combustion is the breaking of carbon bonds to bond with oxygen, producing carbon dioxide and monoxide. There is no carbon based fuel that isnt 1:1 for energy released vs GHG emitted. Making fuels from plant mass doesnt change that.
In a Reddit Q&A, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman let slip that he wants the company to be able to generate “NSFW stuff” for users — and he has examples of just what kind of “stuff” he means....
Do you understand what i mean by self fulfilling prophecy? There is only one thing that is preventing a third party contender from being seen as viable: not being seen as viable. You’re never going to get a knight in shining armor that has a chance, because you yourself will make sure no one gets a chance.
The more you grow and eat at home, the less the food industry needs to burn fuel to ship. I know you folks in the US hate doing anything to help out with the world, but if you took the saying of be the change you want to see, imagine the tens of millions of acres being wasted on lawns being put to environmental and nutritional use.

You get to put waste paper and cardboard in there too instead of bagging it.

I wanna coin the term Mississippi self-awareness. I’ve grown up in rural Mississippi, and I credit it for my extremely left leaning political stances. Im surrounded by the awfulness of conservative mindsets. I hear coworkers complaining about fast food workers making too much money, with the knowledge that Mississippi has the highest rate of poverty in the country, and Im seeing why firsthand. The awful state of health, and the constantly espoused home remedies and junk medical advice that their diabetic mama swore by. So much talk about kids not getting hit enough nowadays. The gun worship, the truck worship, the Jesus worship despite not practicing a word of his teachings, yet no one here seems to be aware of the results of all these awful ideas.
a threat to US auto industry? You promise? Cus US auto industry is a climate killing powerhouse of gas guzzling SUV’s. Any politicians wanting to pretend to be capitalist, or to be in favor of the environment, let me buy this car.
The University of Cambridge’s wealthiest constituent college, Trinity College Cambridge, has decided to divest from all arms companies, Middle East Eye can reveal....
one thing I’ve been learning from these protests is that US colleges are apparently investment bankers? Why would a university be sending money to any arms manufacturer? The ridiculous tuition costs should be more than enough income.
