Some editor with energy expertise really needed to review the story and tell the reporter that renewables are also killing coal on cost. And also that plenty of government policies support natural gas.
Interesting @nytimes.com story on tensions over coal within the Navajo Nation, but I have to do some media criticism on this framing of renewables vs. gas.
Gas is "cheaper" than coal, whereas renewables — excuse me, "greener" forms of energy — are a product of Biden? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/31/b...

The tabs are saying Tom Cruise’s romance with fellow actor Ana de Armas is already kaput. We don’t know if that’s true, but once again #Scientology has tapped into Tom’s fame to help it convince members they must give even more than they already have for an 'All-Ideal USA.'
Tom Cruise single again? Scientology is ready to cash in again either way!
