Michigan Natural Resources Commission opposes Consumers Energy dam sales.
Consumers is trying to offload negative assets, plain and simple. If Consumers isn't comfortable managing them to prevent failure, they should all be removed. Full stop.

It’s not even satire….👏👏👏
I remember a study from around 2017 that showed the populations of American blue states have worldviews more aligned with European countries than the worldview of Florida. I think about that a lot.
He can commit genocide and face universal derision from our allies, or he can escalate beyond what he promised and get American troops killed in an extremely unpopular, illegal war, or he can sit in his own shit with the Strait of Hormuz closed as gas prices skyrocket.
I am unspeakably glad Trump didn’t commit genocide.
It was also very predictable he was lying because he’s a blowhard and a fraud. And now he’s put himself in a place where he can’t restore the status quo that he himself broke and claim victory like he usually does.
“It was tens of thousands of pounds of industrial plastic called “nurdles” which sat unnoticed next to a Lake Michigan tributary for three weeks while […] (EGLE) […] didn’t even know they were there.
The Michigan Department of Transportation knew, but didn’t tell its fellow agency.”
The biggest problem with the food system is that it is no longer a *food* system.
More than half the calories we grow on croplands aren't food; they're lost in inefficient feedlots or to biofuels.
Project Drawdown scientists highlight this disturbing trend:

Never forget, a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.
ALL ROAD USERS.
What about painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.
For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.

I’m old enough to remember when supposed left-wing media was melting down because an elected official dropped an F-bomb in disgusted reaction to the state murdering its own citizens
The 12-month running average temperature for the Contiguous U.S. is now the highest on record. Thanks humans! 🔥🔥🔥
5-year-old son: What are you reading?
Me: There was a problem on Artemis II. The toilet failed.
5-year-old: Was it an emergency?
Me: Well...
Hard to get our brains around this, so to put 100,000 miles in context, that's about as far as you can reliably drive a GMC Acadia before it breaks down
Zing!
If the carbon sink collapses due to animal agriculture, the game changes.
The world is in chaos, but the Artemis program demonstrates the best dedication, innovation, and hope that humanity has to offer—a peaceful, global, scientific and exploratory endeavor.
I think we all needed that right now.
It's been said before, but
For people that like to take a very squishy, interpretative reading of the 2nd Amendment and ignore several clauses, the writing in the first sentence of the 14th Amendment should be pretty damn easy.
No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Fourteenth Amendment, Section 1
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
“Beef production was the largest source (39.7%) of calories lost from converting feed to food, while only providing 9% of calories from animal source calories produced with crop feed (excluding fish).”

There are lots of problems with commercial data centers. They eat up power, water, and land while creating all kinds of other impacts.
But this unpublished study is complete nonsense. The headline-generating conclusion would violate basic thermodynamics. CNN should know better.
@flowinguphill.bsky.social on the heatwave: Ridge amplification was driven by upstream heat from condensation in an atmospheric river from Hawaii's Kona low. "A warmer atmosphere holds more moisture..more water vapor is available for latent heat release in the cyclones driving ridge amplification."
