Top Three Ways Solar Power can Help Low-Income Families
By Galen Barbose, Eric O’Shaughnessy, and Ryan Wiser | – Until recently, rooftop solar panels were a clean energy technology that only wealthy Americans could afford.

Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – There are no races. Human beings are all mixed up, and genomic history demonstrates this principle better than any other approach.

Biden’s Green Energy Plans are just Market Wisdom: Norway’s Investment Fund just Dumped $6 Bn. in Oil Stocks
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – Some have questioned how realistic Biden’s plans are to move the US rapidly off fossil fuels. In fact, it is the fossil fuels that are unrealistic.

Israel faces legal – and practical – obligations for including Palestinians in vaccine success
By Yara M. Asi | – As nations scramble to vaccinate populations against COVID-19, one country has been ahead of the rest: Israel. By late January, Israel had vaccinated more than 30% of its population – more than double or triple the rate of other high-income states like the U.S., the U.K., France and Germany. […]
