I’m staying in a hotel where this large conference is happening. It’s hosted by the Independent Medical Alliance, which has advocated for various unapproved, dubious, and ineffective treatments for COVID-19, according to Wikipedia.

I am energized (pun intended) by taking part in a clean energy workforce event in Southern California. 100+ K12 and college administrators met with energy industry leaders. Educators are excited to develop pathways for students to build the skills they need to get jobs in the clean energy industry.

Trump: The EU was created to “screw” the US.

My thought is how much energy it took to transport and then store gallons upon gallons of sugar milk that nobody is buying - except a few brands and flavors. Do we really need this much choice?

Tree fell on my neighbor’s house this morning after one day of rain. This is only the beginning of the rainy season. Luckily, nobody was hurt. The house is red tagged.
