-National Parks Conservation Association sues Interior Department’s decision to allow renewed mining in Mojave National Preserve, alleging the government skipped required environmental review
I dunno about y'all but I'm fairly sure we were sold out. Everybody involved needs to be held accountable for this, and the data centers need to be held not just to the same, but to higher environmental standards.

Peterol and diesel carmakers today might as well be investing in typewriters and rotary telephones.
The electrical revolution is happening - across several domains - faster and further than almost anyone dared predict. And any country that does not embrace it will be left in the fossil age.
What the Trump regime is doing to the US Forest Service is not a "reorganization"; it's a dismantling. They're doing it in broad daylight, but in the shadow. Help illuminate the shadow: See "What You Must Do Right Now" at end of article and do before it's too late.

Woot! Woot! Let’s do it again!!
The pressure campaign is working. The USDA Forest Service just spoke out, attempting to explain what they’re calling “fact vs. fiction.” Don’t trust this administration, all they do is lie. They know they’re losing businesses are pulling away, and everyone is speaking out.
"The administration is not seeking efficiencies or savings, ... they are seeking a more expansive, more profitable path for special interests through the exploitation of public goods like our national forests. Industry only profits from horizontal trees, not vertical ones."

I feel like the surrender of the global electric vehicle market to China is one of those things that will, with a couple of decades of hindsight, be vastly consequential. Scaling benefits, technology development, supply chains... A lot of incumbents that depend on export markets will be screwed.
Look at the second map in this article.
