Utilities choosing coal, solar, nuclear or other power sources have a lot to consider, beyond just cost
To really compare different electricity sources, you also have to look at the roles they play in keeping the lights on and their drawbacks.

We've figured out why our Sierra Leone solar vid has so few views. YouTube shadow-banned it as political content. We only found out because, in desperation, we tried to promote it. Apparently saving babies' lives is political in the US today. We have appealed, but WTAF!

Elon Musk is pouring millions into the WI Supreme Court election to buy Brad Schimel’s seat on the court and gain even more power. We can't allow MAGA billionaires to control our elections or our future- vote for Susan Crawford by April 1st.

The people now in charge of the Office of Personnel Management apparently don’t know how to scrub PDF metadata, and have exposed the original authors of the guidance they’re publishing. Two, Noah Peters and James Sherk, have links to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.

Appalling cruelty beyond comprehension. Trump is ordering an immediate, unlawful shutdown of PEPFAR, potentially denying life-saving HIV medication to millions of people. This guarantees a lethal, global resurgence of the HIV epidemic. Just unfathomable sadism.

This is a public health nightmare in the works. Nobody voted for this. "The Trump administration has instructed organizations in other countries to stop disbursing H.I.V. medications purchased with U.S. aid, even if the drugs have already been obtained and are sitting in local clinics."

For 150+ years, the 14th Amendment has protected children born on U.S. soil. Trump’s attack is a direct assault on democracy. If you have reps who are doing the right thing, thank them. If you have reps on the fence, demand they do the right thing. 👇

Trump’s proposal to strip birthright citizenship from those born in this nation is unconstitutional. In Illinois, we follow the law. This is only the start of attempts to undermine the rule of law, and Illinoisans can count on me to stand against unconstitutional actions.
