I needed this today! Europe is SO far ahead of us in renewable energy, removing plastics/garbage from the ocean, etc. Someday, I hope we will be able to join them in these efforts instead of accelerating environmental destruction, which this regime is determined to do in the name of profit.

some positive news here about renewable energy (and without the carping, at least so far, from the naysayers).

The plastic cleanup efforts are also v gratifying.
