India’s Record Aircraft Orders Ignore Climate Goals
Indian low-cost carrier IndiGo recently made headlines with its record-breaking order of Airbus passenger jets. The deal, worth an estimated $50 billion, is the largest single order in Airbus history.While the order for 500 of the A320neo aircraft is a major coup for Airbus, it is being termed a “setback” for climate action.

The EV Kool-Aid Acid Test
In his 1968 book The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, author Tom Wolfe portrayed Ken Kesey as a man seeking to create a new religion.

China Schemes, Biden Dreams
China’s long shadow looms across the global scene, extending far beyond its military presence stationed close by the Taiwan Strait. Barely 100 miles separate Taiwan from the Chinese mainland.

The European War On Food Ignores Water Pollution
According to the World Health Organization, 31 million Europeans have no access to public sanitation, and 48 million do not have piped water at home. At least 300,000 Europeans follow San Francisco’s practice of defecating openly – but in the countryside rather than on public streets.

The $200 Billion Electric School Bus Bust
The Beatles once sang, “All you need is love.” But will Kamala Harris’ professed LOVE for electric school buses—plus the $1 billion in taxpayer subsidies she announced last October—be enough to usher in the new paradise?Hmm. Let’s do the math. The $1 billion in rebates pledged is to help purchase 2,500 electric school buses in some 391 school districts around the nation.
