Fossil fuels
Bear in mind the marshmallow check? Little children have been put in entrance of a marshmallow, and instructed that if they might watch for 10 minutes earlier than consuming it, they might get a second marshmallow. The children who have been in a position to wait apparently did higher in life.
The Herald editorial workers (“Bay Staters nearly caught a break on power prices”) wish to eat the primary marshmallow, immediately. They need extra of the fossil fuels that now we have proper now, and that lobbyists inform us style so good.
Bemoaning the stalling of a invoice that will permit Massachusetts to throw out the local weather targets that the legislature handed, they advocate for extra fossil gasoline, much less help for clear power. This ignores two information. One is the appalling expense that local weather change goes to convey, for all of us. The opposite is the truth that clear power – photo voltaic – is now the most cost effective type of power obtainable, and that a lot of the rising price of power represents the fixing of outdated fossil power techniques. Clear power brings value stability, long run lowered price, and much more – good jobs.
All of us need power to be reasonably priced, however Massachusetts residents are sensible sufficient to attend for the second marshmallow. Don’t seize this primary chew!

Democrats
As as a veteran of international wars, and the son and grandson of veterans of international wars, I can’t say simply how embarrassed and disgusted I’m by the political show at the moment being placed on by a gaggle of Democrats together with our personal Consultant Maggie Goodlander. This group of politicians are utilizing intentional subversion of the army for his or her political positive factors, and it shouldn’t be countenanced by any self-respecting, patriotic American.
This sample of subversion of our president by radical Democrats is just not new. Individuals like John Kerry, Mark Milley, and Anthony Blinken having clandestine conferences with world leaders undermining our government’s authority, the leaking of labeled paperwork by James Comey, John Bolton, and others, the entire Article 25 sham from the identical individuals who would later cover Joe Biden’s incompetence from the American folks, these are simply nasty, power-mad folks, and so they have to be held accountable.
