Trumps Burn baby burn, drill baby drill

"The administration is pushing for $40 per barrel crude oil, and with tariffs on foreign tubular goods, [input] prices are up, and drilling is going to disappear," one survey respondent said. "The oil industry is once again going to lose valuable employees."

As a green energy booster... this is the day I've been hoping for.

On the water, crude tankers at sea are now holding more than 1 billion barrels — a figure that has steadily risen over the past few months as sellers have had a harder time finding buyers willing to take the oil.

The owner might be glad to have Trump "I guess we keep it" take it off their hands.

Maybe Trump better think twice about SEIZING tankers loaded with oil.

But these top down numbers can hide a lot of interesting details. Having the "right" kind of jobs in the right places is what families need. A hiring boom where they don't live or soaring wages in jobs they don't do isn't helping how they live.

plastics that are supposedly recyclable but don't actually get recycled!

Go back to GLASS bottles then! We CAN solve these problems if we choose to.

Trump is getting that sweet sweet revenge on his enemy! Collateral damage to workers? "things just happen".

Long term investments vs Whimsical political "leadership". Ford is fucked either way!

But the Trump administration has rolled back those emissions rules along with the financial support for EVs, and is challenging states’ authority to set tougher rules.

Different President...

Ford and other automakers invested heavily in EV plans in anticipation of stringent environmental regulations put in place during the Biden administration. They also expected some states to follow the lead of California and ban gas-powered vehicle sales within a decade.

Knows he can't catch up and surpass the Chinese EV.

Ford CEO Jim Farley admitted he has been driving a Xiaomi SU7 for six months and said he "doesn't want to give it up."

The scientists estimate that while LUCA was a simple prokaryote, it likely had an immune system, meaning it was already fighting off primordial viruses.

4.2 BILLION years ago and already fighting a virus!

retraced the physiological characteristics of living species to understand what LUCA must’ve been like 4.2 billion years ago—and the results gave some surprising answers.

amazing what we know

Life on Earth had to begin somewhere, and scientists think that “somewhere” is LUCA—or the Last Universal Common Ancestor. True to its name, this prokaryote-like organism represents the ancestor of every living thing, from the tiniest of bacteria to the grandest of blue whales.

In areas that are vulnerable to hurricanes, resilience requires a real focus on building materials and methods.
