A #JustTransition must include communities that now make their living from #OilAndGas.

"Most #OilAndGas communities do not need economic stimulus policies that provide immediate relief. What they need are holistic economic development strategies that can cultivate new industries – building on their existing strengths – that will enable them to prosper into the future."

Luckily, most Black men haven't been shot by police. But this being dragged out of a car, or put in cuffs, or threatened with death or violence or trumped up jail charges? That stuff happens to millions of Black drivers.

"Tyreek should have just been polite! I'm always polite! As a Black man we always have to be polite!" That's how I think. And it is a broken way of thinking.

An electric Kei could be a game changer in cities.

Ignorance of how EVs work is holding back uptake, says survey

The survey "asked 1,000 UK petrol/diesel car drivers ten questions about electric cars, mainly focused on popular pieces of misinformation that has been pushed by the oil industry and other entities that oppose cleaner, better vehicles.

The survey found that this #misinformation is alive and well – and particularly alive and well among drivers who haven’t driven an #EV."

Boeing is dead.

"I have covered the space industry closely during the last 15 years, and during most of that time Boeing was perceived by much of the industry as the blueblood of spaceflight while SpaceX was the company that was going to kill astronauts due to its supposed recklessness.

Now the space agency is asking SpaceX to, in effect, rescue the Boeing astronauts currently on the International Space Station."
