America’s Failing Water Infrastructure - If You Don’t Know, Now You Know

Almost like we should install huge conduit all over the country to make updating our infrastructure easier, and in the process bury our power lines, run fiber optic, and replace plumbing in said conduit...

Heck, and while we're at it maybe we could put bike and walking paths over the top when we're done?

How many problems would that solve? IMO it would be worth trillions to the economy...

Despite 'Splashy' Net-Zero Vows, Big Banks Dumping Trillions Into Fossil Fuels.

"With Wall Street banks leading the charge, these financial institutions are directly complicit in undermining a climate-stable future for us all."

https://www.commondreams.org/news/2...vows-big-banks-dumping-trillions-fossil-fuels

Flouting their public vows to put themselves and their clients on a path to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, the world's 60 largest private banks have provided a total of $4.6 trillion in financing for the fossil fuel industry since the Paris Agreement entered into force in 2016.

This is truly sickening.

West Virginians Lead Blockade of Coal Plant That Made Manchin Rich

"This is what the fight for a habitable planet looks like in real time."

https://www.commondreams.org/news/2...ns-lead-blockade-coal-plant-made-manchin-rich

Hundreds of campaigners participated in the blockade of Grant Town Power Plant, which receives coal waste from Enersystems, the company owned by the West Virginia senator's son. Manchin earns $500,000 per year from Enersystems—"making a very lucrative living off the backs of West Virginians," said Maria Gunnoe, an organizer of the action, this week.

Making money off of destroying the planet that we all live on. Sick.
