Surviving on Trump's Dangerous Planet Yet another war, and yet another argument for an end to oil

"Iran has the world’s second-largest reserves of natural gas and the third-biggest pool of oil"

The Questions Never Asked Because no one is just a cog.

I wrote about the tragic death of Nurul Amin Shah Alamin Buffalo. I explain how complicity can be the cumulative result of many small decisions in which people abdicate their basic obligations to other humans -- the rule of law can't exist without empathy asharangappa.substack.com/p/the-questi...

The DIY solar hack arriving in US homes Americans are embracing easy, plug‑and‑play solar units that slash energy costs — even as Washington tries to slow the clean‑energy shift.

The Affordable Solar Act currently moving through the 2026 MD legislative session in Annapolis would enable residents to install these portable, balcony/plug-in solar panels.
