free electricity is a great and achievable policy goal
Australians will be getting 3 hours of free electricity a day because of how many people have installed solar - this is seriously huge considering the massive solar uptake in Australia happened while the federal government delayed action on climate

Australian households to get free electricity three hours a day
Saying there is enough solar power for everyone in the daytime, the federal government will direct retailers to provide three hours of free power every day to consumers.

Black people held their own constitutional conventions before the Civil War and the Black Panthers held their own constitutional conventions in the 1970s; the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 started the march to the Equal Rights Convention; and the Abolitionist movement petitioned Congress.
Important piece by Prof. Kate Andrias. This is why treating SCOTUS as the only word on the Constitution gives away our power as citizens.

In light of the Court's decision to allow Slaughter's firing to stand pending review of Humphrey's, does anyone still think that the Fed would have been able to refuse to accept the trillion dollar coin if the President had deemed it necessary to prevent a constitutional crisis?
