Lithium-Ion Batteries Need Help To Enter The 21st Century, Manganese May Be It
With a 4th generation nuclear plant finally getting built in the U.S., 30 years after the federal government blocked all advanced energy research, there are so few old environmentalists still in power that alternative energy wishful thinking can make way for science. They aren't going without a fight, though. Solar and wind haven't improved in 50 years but have still gotten $4 trillion in subsidies - all to change conventional energy share by 0.1%.Does Air Quality Cause Postpartum Depression?
New mothers are under a lot of pressure. They are told they have to breastfeed and if they don't, the formula they use may cause their child to have worse grades in school. And if the government shuts down formula factories for no coherent reason and imports aren't allowed because the identical product in Europe hasn't spent a billion dollars and 10 years to get FDA approval, that is a worry.The Whiteness Of Boomer Environmentalism May Be Why Lakes In Minority Communities Get Little Attention
Prior to the takeover of environmentalism by Earth Day's overt communist malcontents (1) it was devoted to clean water and neighborhoods in cities, where the poorest lived.To get attention and money from other wealthy elites, it pivoted to rural rivers and streams and minorities were marginalized in the rush to control government that would control conservation and "endangered" species(2) and clean water for people of colors stopped being important.
Government Created High Insulin Costs, But Here Is How One State Got Around It
American health care is expensive as are drugs. Both are due to government involvement. If a company is forced to spend 10 years and a billion extra dollars in clinical trials that don't improve safety, they are just placebos so government can say they held companies "accountable", that raises costs for everyone.Other countries exploit America that way. They wait until the costs are incurred and approval is set in the US, and then tell the company they can only sell in that country for less. The company has to get its biggest profit in the country that made the success possible and Americans pay the cost so Canada can get cheaper drugs.
WHO Extends Its Highest Emergency Level For…Monkeypox?
The World Health Organisation, the last major body to accept that COVID-19 was a pandemic, is out in front extending its highest emergency level over, of all things, monkeypox.We now know WHO held off on declaring COVID-19 an emergency because former President Donald Trump said it was an emergency and we should cut travel from China. Then he instructed FDA to prepare emergency use authorization standards for a vaccine they believed the private sector could create fast if government got out of the way.(1)
Astrologers Deduce Personalities As Poorly As Anyone Else
Astrology is one of those things that makes no sense to literate people. The position of stars a billion light-years away determined your personality, but if you are in the eastern world that personality could be completely different than if you were born 2000 miles west? See: I was a Virgo this morning, now I am a Leo! I totally feel different.European Glyphosate Constituents Aren’t From Agriculture, They’re From Laundry Detergent
Activists who just happen to take donations from competitors to normal farming - e.g. organic industry trade groups, corporations, and foreign nationals laundering money through offshore donor-advised funds - get paid to claim farming is a problem.(1)Just Correlation, Not Science: Ozempic ‘Leads’ To Less Dementia
If epidemiologists were held accountable for the high costs, drug shortages, and food and chemical misinformation they cause, nonsense like claiming a type 2 diabetes drug that is popular off-label for weight loss in rich people also prevent dementia would stop.Yet the reason so many "studies" by epidemiologists are being pushed onto the public now is because it is a fad. Fads, creating them or capitalizing on them, is big business for lawyers on one side and corporations on the other, and epidemiologists capitalize on that.
More State Run Liquor Stores May Prevent Suicides
Suicide is the runaway leader in gun deaths in the United States and a new demography paper says more government control of the alcohol business might provide a solution for that, and homicides also.This was a statistical analysis, so only EXPLORATORY, but they correlate more restrictive alcohol laws with a reduction in specific states’ homicide rates. The authors at RAND used the Alcohol Policy Scale index, which measures state-year alcohol policy environments, higher is more social authoritarian, lower is more freedom, plus vital deaths data (total homicides, total suicides, firearm homicides, and firearm suicides) drawn from the National Vital Statistics System.
