This would make a good laugh, except these twisted and hateful fundamentalist/fascist American Christian teachings are real. And they hate America, the Land of Liberty, because they want to control everyone's actions and thoughts. Never forget what these people really are: control freaks and bigots.

Three cheers for the New Fight for State Rights to Democracy from the Land of Lincoln! ...And for the governor of the Great State of Illinois for bucking this fake, country-wide, "emergency" gambit for permanent, minority-led, autocratic power.

From the NYT, July 14, 2025:

4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

Great article, reporting that solar has taken off, surpassing all other new power sources around the globe and dramatically reducing the carbon cost of electricity -- just in time for the anti-science Trump "administration" to lead us away from its adoption.
