"The same day Hochul approved the pipeline, she also approved a permit for a cryptocurrency mine in central New York, the fossil fuel–powered Greenidge Generation, which runs 20,000 computers nonstop to create new Bitcoins"
Big Tech’s Big New York Gas Pipeline - The American Prospect
Gov. Kathy Hochul justified a $1 billion natural gas project by appealing to affordability. But the main reason the state needs the energy is because data centers are hogging it.

Leave BlackRock alone -- they just want to take the politics out of pensions! 🙄

www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
BlackRock has scaled back “climate engagement in ways that put our investments at risk needlessly,” Lander said in a phone interview. “Climate risk is financial risk. You can see it all around you in increased number of flash floods and wildfires.” In response, BlackRock Managing Director Armando Senra wrote in a letter to Lander that he is alleging that the firm is “abdicating its financial duty and putting New York City’s pensions at risk. These statements are another instance of the politicization of public pension funds, which undermines the retirement security of hardworking New Yorkers.”

Juries are not perfect.

Many of the worst miscarriages of justice have followed jury trials.

But the merit of juries is not so much the power they have, but the power they prevent others from having.

They mean a judge cannot just nod-along with prosecution evidence and give a guilty verdict.
