Canada not on track to hit any climate targets: report A new study published Friday by the Canadian Climate Institute says Canada is not on track to meet any of its climate targets.

A solid wrap-up of the latest @climateinstitute.bsky.social report by @thecanadianpressnews.ca.web.brid.gy's Nick Murray: the Carney government is taking us ever further away from meeting out climate commitments (and our performance is the worst in the G7)

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

You can repeal an endangerment finding.

Puerto Rico hasn't had reliable power in a decade.

The grid sends occasional surges through the wires that fry appliances.

Electricity rates are among the highest in the entire U.S.

Heat waves are getting intense in the summer, and outages mean A/C is no guarantee for an aging population.

I was 16 when I went to see the Darkness on the Edge of Town tour. The Boss became my north star. That has never changed.
Springsteen says it's time to kick the fascists "in the teeth."
Today he is a north star for democracy and the people of the north star state.
