Plunging equipment costs and higher electricity prices are making solar projects viable in places once considered too dark or cold.

Solar’s Boom in Europe Is Reaching Places Once Deemed Too Dark

For decades, Europe’s renewable energy map looked straightforward: solar was mostly used in the sunny south, while the north relied on wind. But plunging equipment costs and higher electricity prices have made solar projects viable in places once considered too dark, cold or remote to pay off.

BREAKING: Todd Blanche has released what he calls a rescission of the slush fund (left). The last lawsuit he mentions is mine (Gill v DOJ). This doesn't change the fact that the "settlement" setting up the fund is still in effect. On the right, Blanche is LEAVING IN PLACE Trump's tax immunity.

James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."

NATIONAL CENTER FOR EDUCATION STATISTICS American adult literacy is going backward The federal government tests adult skills every few years. The 2023 score was the lowest since PIAAC testing began in 2012. AVERAGE LITERACY SCORE, ADULTS 16 TO 65 271 → 258 2017 2023 A 13 point fall, and the first statistically significant drop on record.
