The so called "peace" negotiation is one big scam to delay help to Ukraine, give Russia time to build up its forces, get sanctions lifted etc. Still many seem to take them seriously. That is very hard for me to absorb.

EV charger funding. Tax incentives to buy EVs. Permits for wind energy projects. All gone. But tax incentives to extract more oil and gas were expanded by Trump and GOP-controlled Congress.

Federal records we dug up showed that after these questions emerged re groundwater impact, Hamm and other oil bosses hired their own consultant who did a report concluding no major groundwater impact will happen as 5,000 new wells are drilled. Guess what happened next?
