This is true, I have been told my pain was from “stress” and prescribed antidepressants by many doctors who refused to believe me. I lost my job as it got debilitating over time. Decades later I get a surgeon who tells me I have been suffering from a back injury due to arthritis since my 20’s.

In a First for the U.S., Renewables Generate More Power Than Natural Gas
In March, for the first time, renewables supplied more power to the U.S. than natural gas, a milestone in the transition to clean power. However, rising power demand is complicating the shift away from fossil fuels by extending the lives of many aging coal power plants.

Esp. as I read about record oil price increases, this is such a bizarre statement to make: "Luxon says fuel crisis ‘not Covid 2.0’: ‘People are not going to be sitting at home baking sourdough’". Other leaders are taking this far more seriously, and are responding with policy, not facile punchlines.
