Conflict Over A Blockbuster Farm Chemical
Not since DDT was introduced to U.S. agriculture to kill insects after World War Two has a farm chemical been as important to American crop production, and come under more scientific, political, and legal scrutiny as the weedkiller Roundup, and its active ingredient, glyphosate. With the election of President Donald Trump, the conflict over glyphosate’s risks and benefits entered a new realm of confrontation that has the potential to alter its stature as the favored chemical tool in agriculture, the largest user of fresh water in the blue economy of Michigan and the Great Lakes.

Transco plans another natural gas pipeline project for Virginia
The pipeline would run north from a Chatham compressor station to "serve the power-hungry Virginia market," the developer says.

I just canceled our Amazon Prime membership, and we're going to be okay.
It seems so trivial, but it feels good and at least we've got another $14.99/month. Gonna need it the way things are going.

You can't hide from climate change or from CO2 emissions.
Trump-Doge preparing to end the Keeling curve monitoring (that has tracked atmospheric CO2 since 1950). This attack on science would amount to a crime against humanity I think!
