The EPA made a surprise move that could protect the world's largest salmon fishery -- CNN

Here Well, this is a good surprise! What's up here? "In a surprise reversal, the Environmental Protection Agency announced it is withdrawing its plan to suspend environmental protections for an area of Alaska that is home to the world's most valuable wild salmon fishery.

[The EPA proposed last year to "reverse clean water safeguards" for the Bristol Bay watershed, paving the way for a massive gold and copper mine to be built in the region.]"

Trump's Solar Tariff Is Bad, But Not a Huge Deal -- Bloomberg

Here  "Bloomberg Gadfly’s Liam Denning reports that the tariffs will set the cost of solar electricity back by only around one year -- bad, but not much of a bump for a technology undergoing exponential growth."  

So, whether Trump mainly wanted costs to go up for solar to help his moribund pet coal industry, or wants American solar panel companies to make more profit and market share, it's a bump in the road. The horse has already left the corral for clean energy, and Trump ought to get with the desirability of local, clean energy for all the right reasons too. The rest of us are.

LeBron James on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

Elevated thoughts and positive mojo. Take notes Mr. Trump. This guy is burying you in the 'ought to be a leader' category. You should #resign and go back to being a full-time con man.


LeBron James honored King's memory today:

For us to stand here even though we're trying to be divided right now by somebody, today is a great day for people to realize how America was built and how we all have to stand united in order to be one…

Especially as Americans because we believe, we all know and we all believe, this is the greatest country in the world…

The state of racism will never die, but what we cannot do is allow it to conquer us as people. We can't allow it to divide us…

The guy in control has given people and racism, and negative racism, an opportunity to be out and outspoken without fear… 

But he's allowed people to come out and just feel confident about doing negative things…

We can't allow that to stop us from continuing to be together and preach the right word of living and loving and laughing and things of that nature... 

We are in a difficult state right now as Americans as well with the leader of our country…

But no matter the religion, no matter the shapes and sizes, we all have to continue to come together and shine a brighter light on ...

I don't want to use the word stupidity, but that's basically what it comes down to...

And because we've built such an incredible country and for us to be able to live free lives and be able to work and work together, no matter the color of skin tone or things of that nature. Or religion…

And we have to continue that…

To continue to keep people involved...

And giving the youth an opportunity to be as creative and as aware as they can be.

Coldest Winter Week in 150 Years in Quebec

Historic wildfires still barely contained after a month in California.

Trump, sold out to GOP fossil fuel trolls, teases of the cold ‘where is that global warming’?

I see the two headlines below, Dec. 5, 2018.

Surely this can’t be happening.

Happy New Year 2018!

Hope it was a beautiful holiday season to you. Hope the season was restorative. And hope that 2018 brings warmth, kindness and goodness to you and yours. And extends in circles beyond that too. Happy New Year!
