"China has overtaken Detroit as the center of the global auto industry. America can embark on an all-out push to rebuild world-class manufacturing and supply chains, or our carmakers can hide behind tariffs, continue making gas-powered trucks and S.U.V.s and fade into irrelevance."

"We need to trade in the language of limits for the language of leverage."
Don’t say “sustainability.” Say “stability”: in supply chains, in local economies, in your energy bills.
Don’t say “renewables.” Say “American-made power.”
Don’t say “clean energy transition.” Say “next-gen infrastructure.”

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
To all my teacher friends: Need a dose of hope? Join us for this amazing webinar featuring Dr. Luvelle Brown and Dr. Sheldon Berman and a panel of courageous educators from around the world: Thurs., March 27 | 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm EST www.academyforhumanrights.org/teaching-wit....

A street is orange from flames and you can see the high winds in the palm trees. Sparks fly down the street
A fire truck is engulfed in parks and flames are seen on the hill. The entire photo is red and orange from the fire
A fireman with a hose runs across the front of a house in flames in the background
The inside of a house is a ball of flames. The only visible thing inside is a burning Christmas tree
These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.
These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

Los Angeles received just 0.16 inches of rain since May 2024, the second-driest period on record.
Wildfires are now engulfing the city in January.

Gas is 87% carbon by weight, so a 6 pound gallon of gas has 5.5 pounds of carbon in it. If that C was converted to graphite (which is pure C), it'd look like this:
