Why are no Democrat senators placing a blanket hold on any DOE or EPA nominees until the agencies confirm that payments of contractually obligated grants and loans are resuming under regular process? Why would Democrats let any of these people be confirmed under current circumstances?

some ways to generate electricity
A) use sunlight to drive photosynthesis in plants, let plants die, wait ~100 million years, dig up fossilized plants, burn plants, use heat to boil water, use steam to drive a rotating turbine, use generator to make electrons

After visiting #Montreal this fall and feeling the reverence that the city had for its hockey team I have adopted them as my Eastern Conference team to follow when the #MNWild aren’t playing- they are on #Hulu all the time- such a young dynamic resilient team that is so fun to cheer for #GoHabsGo 🏒

NEW: The prospect of a wave of mega data centers in Minnesota is now possible. The first is under construction by Meta in Rosemount. But I found at least 9 others in various stages of development.
They could need as much power as every household in the state. www.startribune.com/mega-data-ce...

The early returns on Marco Rossi's microstats are phenomenal.
* Looks like Robert Thomas in terms of shot/shot assists
* Toe-to-toe with Brock Boeser/Cole Caufield in terms of generating+setting up scoring chances
* No one tracked makes both more high-danger passes and shots off HD passes
