The Senate is about to destroy clean energy to give tax cuts to billionaires The bill could pass within the next 24 hours.

The new Senate bill doesn’t just gut renewables. It includes massive giveaways to the fossil fuel industry.

The Medium is the Massage by Marshall McLuhan
McLuhan's observation that "societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media by which men communicate than by the content of the communication" is undoubtedly more relevant today than ever before. @bookshop.org
