Thereโ€™s a global boom in solarโ€”except in the United States The economic case for solar power is stronger than ever.

Good to see that the rest of the World is moving on with energy. Too bad the US is reverting back to the 19th Century. arstechnica.com/science/2025...

Our country is currently an embarrassment to human decency. This is so tragic.

This needs to be taken very seriously. Republicans will float this over and over until it is normalized then the supreme court will nullify the 22nd Amendment and it will be a done deal with a sham election if we do not pushing back hard.

Took advantage of a beautiful day to wander up Longs Peak today. So many enjoying Rocky Mountain National Park. They might be the best idea the United States ever had. The view is looking south.

Mercedes unveils car with 20% efficient ultra-thin solar coating Mercedes-Benz unveiled its first car prototype with a silicon-free, 20%-efficient nanoparticle solar coating that powers the vehicle even when off and uses modules thinner than a human hair.

We might be digging in on coal, but the rest of the world moves on. www.pv-magazine.com/2025/10/21/m...

Laws don't apply to those who bend their knee to trump.

Trump strikes nerve with East Wing ballroom demolition The wrecking of part of the White Houseโ€™s East Wing to make way for President Trumpโ€™s ballroom is striking a nerve with his critics who see it as an overhaul of a historic building for a gaudy persโ€ฆ

So the White House destruction costs $200 M and he's extorting the people for $230 M. Wonder where the money is coming from to pay for the White House Vandalism? thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Don't forget his $230M extortion of the Justice Department.

If he were truly humble and remorseful, he'd serve his time and not beg his master for a morally corrupt get out of jail card.

The man seems insane to me. Bombing your citizens should disqualify you from being their leader.

Do the 500 who showed up to rally for Democracy in Louisville, Colorado hate America? This is what I saw at the rally.

Took advantage of a day off to hike up Mt. Lady Washington in Rocky Mountain National Park and got a nice look at the East Face of Longs Peak in the snow. National Parks should be cherished (and funded) by those in Congress.

Did some research. He's the guy who "wrote" the Bible that trump endorsed and Oklahoma tried to foist on its children. I'd likely not watch the Superbowl if he were the half time show, personally.

Amid government shutdown, Colorado nonprofits describe 'chaos' and a 'scramble to protect the places we love' Nonprofits that work closely with U.S. Forest Service have received mixed messages about whether volunteers can work on National Forest lands during the shutdown.

Hey is every day another example of how this administration is trying to destroy our community? It would be nice if the administration wasn't actively trying to harm Colorado. www.cpr.org/2025/10/10/g...

Trump critic and former national security adviser John Bolton to be charged soon, sources say Bolton would be the third critic of the president to face federal charges. New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey were recently indicted.

Mighty rich of the president to force prosecution of Bolton for his handling of classified documents. Why do people rally behind anyone with so little shame and such contempt for our country and humans in general? www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

An Oklahoma girls basketball team returned its championship after discovering it actually lost the title game Brendan King, head coach of the Academy of Classical Christian Studies high school girls basketball team, recounted every basket of the title game and discovered his team had actually lost.

Wouldn't it be nice if state (and national) leaders had this much integrity? www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/okl...
