I hope it's clear to everyone that if Trump had been president in 1941, Philip K. Dick's novel "The Man in the High Tower" would be fact, not fiction, with the Nazis in control of the East Coast and the Japanese in control of the West Coast.

Failure guaranteed as long as buses mired in traffic jams created by cars.
What transit experts generally tell you is: the highest use of scarce resources is making transit service more *frequent & reliable*. That's what actually boosts ridership.
Everything else -- free point-of-use fare, electric buses, fancy new trolleys, architecturally fancy stations -- matters less.

Trump's attempts to force us all to use coal will fail.
Coal is not only dirty and devastating for the environment, but it costs more, is less reliable, and is simply bad for business.
Whether Trump likes it or not, coal is the past — clean energy is the present and future.

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

Pritzker is as high on cropaganda as any other midwestern politico (Obama was too btw). The issue is that the land grants + agribusiness have got so good at growing corn and farming the government to find uses for it that everybody is afraid of getting off the (fossil-fuel dependent) gravy train.
The expansion of corn ethanol-based “sustainable aviation fuel” in Illinois threatens our future on multiple fronts: it would deplete water resources, increase agricultural pollution, drive up food prices, and block the path toward a more equitable and sustainable farming economy.
Illinois is leading the nation's clean energy industry.
Today, Avina Clean Hydrogen joins that legacy by selecting our state for a $820M investment in Southwest Illinois to produce sustainable aviation fuel.
Creating jobs, reducing emissions, and supporting our green economy.
