Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) demands an investigation to establish whether Elon Musk or Donald Trump ordered the sabotage of Ukraine’s Starshield communications, warning that allowing Musk to dictate US foreign policy puts the country at enormous risk.

There is already more than enough fossil fuel being extracted to cover demand while we switch to alternatives. We should be accelerating the switch, not adding to the problem. And there is so much more the government could do, right now.

Approving the Jackdaw gas field solves none of our problems, while contributing to the existential crisis of climate breakdown. The government has privileged special interests above the general interest. It's a shameful, cowardly decision.
