To those who have been with us since our inception in 2009, as well as to those who are just joining us now for the first time, here’s a brief summary of what we at 2GreenEnergy are all about. We offer:
• A platform on which we connect cleantech entrepreneurs with sources of investment capital. (more…)
My only problem with this is the U.S. Constitution, which clearly lays out the laws by which our elections will be conducted, i.e., it’s up to each of the 50 states to make and implement their own procedures.
Obviously, conspiracy theorists, at the direction of Newsmax and their peers, are convinced that there is a significant amount of voter fraud, but the fact is that there have been only a few dozen incidents of proven fraud out of the last one billion votes cast.
Yes, we could have an amendment proposed and passed into law that changes all of this, but until then, I’m going to support the U.S. Constitution, which has done right by the American people since its passage in 1789.
Yes, our atmosphere and our waterways will soon be seeing increasing concentrations of mercury, lead, cadmium, selenium, and arsenic, not to mention other neurotoxins like a wide array of radioactive isotopes, so that the Trump administration can placate billionaire donors.
But seriously, what are a few million agonizing deaths from these carcinogens compared with huge campaign donations?
You may be asking yourself why Missouri Republicans did this.
Well, what’s in it for these people to foster a generation of bright, literate youngsters with a thirst for learning?

To be successful, would-be fascists need as much ignorance in the population as possible.
Keep this in mind next time you receive news about the dismantling of scientific institutions and the destruction of public education.

If the American people want to ban birthright citizenship, they should elect representatives who will pass a constitutional amendment.
One of the most pathetic themes in modern-day American life is the way we get so upset about things that have essentially zero bearing on the quality of our lives.
Look, we do have real problems. Real problems: Environmental collapse, nuclear war, the devastation of public education, the growing chasm between rich and poor, people dying of treatable diseases.
But rooting out the (very few) trans people from the U.S. military should be of no concern to any of us.
Having a sociopathic criminal rewriting the Constitution sounds like a good idea to tens of millions of semiliterate Americans.
Or make it pay-per-view, at $100, all of which goes into — you name it — feeding hungry children, paying down the national debt, decarbonizing our transportation and energy sectors — whatever you want.
It would be the best $100 I’ve ever spent.
Thought I’d repost this.
Now’s a good time for us all to commit to being a bit brighter, kinder, and more enlightened than we’ve ever been in the past.
H. L. Mencken said: no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. And that was 100 years ago, so now this is true in spades.
