Decommissioning and restoration of those mining landscapes back to their original pristine condition is not in the cards in developing countries. Recycling of worn-out turbine blades, solar panels, and EV batteries, in wealthy countries is also not in the cards. -
Silicon Valley Bank Was a Woke Bank, and Wokeness Is What Brought it Down

Opinion -Twenty-three states have now sued the EPA over its so-called “Waters of the United States” (WOTUS) rule, because once again, the agency is asserting federal authority over water not covered under the law.

How to Separate Fact from Fiction
Opinion -The State of New Jersey recently enacted a law that requires K–12 students to learn “information literacy.” Stated plainly, this is the skills to determine what’s true and what’s not. The law is allegedly the first of its kind in the nation.

Given the track record of the U.S. education establishment, this could be an epic mistake. -
