Refrigerated #trailers are hauling your fresh food from the farm to your local market – the problem is that they pollute like crazy, powered by red-dye #diesel gensets that run around the clock. Rooftop solar emits no CO2 electrek.co/2026/02/14/g... #solarpower #renewables #ActOnClimate

I would have more respect for “Wuthering Heights” if it cost $750,000 to shoot. To put quotes around the title to hint it’s “unfilmable” and “-a- version of the adaptation not -the- version” is annoying false modesty if they spent 80 million to make it. COMMIT!

Stephanie Ruhle: This bridge will take toll money away from another bridge that connects Michigan and Canada, and that bridge is owned by a big Trump donor who, on Monday, had a meeting with Howard. Lutnick. Immediately following that meeting, poof, we no longer want this new bridge.
