Prosecuting whistleblowers

vendredi 13 avril 2018 à 02:00

The bully is continuing Obama's practice of prosecuting whistleblowers as "spies".

As we learned in connection with the threat to Snowden, this kind of prosecution denies these heroes the chance even to present the defense that public interest justified their actions. This injustice is inexcusable regardless of the specifics of any particular case.

Urgent: Criminal Justice Bill

Renewable electricity

jeudi 12 avril 2018 à 02:00

Some countries are getting close to 100% renewable electricity generation. Portugal had a surplus of renewable energy last month and exported some. Costa Rica used 100% renewable energy for most of the past year.

The main obstacle to spreading this world-wide is the resistance of the planet roasters, who work behind the scenes to decrease investment in renewable energy.

The article doesn't mention deforestation and agriculture, big sources of greenhouse gases. However, if we got rid of electricity, industry and transport as sources of greenhouse gases, that could be enough to avert disaster. We will still need to end deforestation and reduce production of beef, for other reasons.
