It's going to be a question of manufacturing costs, but any method that reduces our need for petroleum is welcome. Seriously, it's reaching the point we either come up with alternative packaging plastics or we'll be forced to switch back to glass.

Developers want to build 51 data warehouses, each the size of a Walmart Supercenter, in a Pennsylvania town of just 7,000. And they are refusing to tell the community what technology firms will occupy the buildings. Is it any wonder why a nationwide backlash against AI data centers is brewing?
washingtonpost.com
A town of 7,000 planned so many data centers, it’s like adding 51 Walmarts
Developers plan to build six sprawling data center campuses in Archbald, Pennsylvania, covering about 14 percent of the town’s land. Residents are fighting back.

We're looking back at some of our top stories of the year. In April, Henry Culvyhouse reported that Sens. Shelley Moore Capito and Jim Justice said they wouldn’t vote to kick West Virginians off Medicaid, then voted to slash billions of dollars from the program. buff.ly/UM4jHIw

West Virginia Republicans said they wouldn’t cut Medicaid. Then they voted to cut Medicaid.
Key votes by the state’s US Senators could threaten Medicaid, the health insurance that one in three West Virginians relies on.

The White House has been caught. The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims. In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

As someone who has suffered several miscarriages this is a big fear of mine since Roe fell. When someone miscarries a wanted or accepted pregnancy they will always question if they did something to cause it.I punished myself harshly and having to prove my losses would have made healing impossible.

It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research… Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don’t deserve to be stigmatized by a weird nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service members don’t deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can’t serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.
