Neue, gigantische Fracking-Projekte in den USA („monster fracks“) verbrauchen enorme Mengen Wasser, so dass die Öl- und Gasfirmen inzwischen auch nach Wasser bohren. Damit wird die durch Übernutzung und globale Erhitzung prekäre Wasserversorgung in vielen Gegenden der USA zusätzlich belastet. Analyse und Reportage in der New York Times, die herazusgefunden hat, dass die monster fracks in Texas inzwischen zwei Drittel der Fracking-Projekte ausmachen. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/09/25/climate/fracking-oil-gas-wells-water.html

Koordiniert von der Heritage Foundation wurde ein umfassender Plan für die ersten sechs Monate einer republikanischen Präsidentschaft erarbeitet. Er würde eine Regulierung der Energiepolitik und Dekarbonisierungsmaßnahmen durch die Bundesregierung sowie die Durchsetzung von Umweltbestimmungen unmöglich machen. Die Heritage Foundation hatte entscheidenden Einfluss auf frühere republikanische Regierungen. Viele US-Politiker werden von der Fossilindustrie mitfinanziert.

Many developed countries have national curricula and specific teacher-training standards, but the United States does not. Instead decisions on curricular and standards are created and enforced at the state and local levels, often by politically elected figures including governors, mayors, superintendents, and school boards.

This leaves early education in the United States open to a much greater sway of political influence. This can be seen in examples of Texas attempting to legislate the display the ten commandments in school classrooms in 2023, reading science being neglected in the adoption of Culkins' Units of Study curriculum, and other footballs like the supposed suppression of critical race theory in right leaning states.

Good to see GoDaddy paying continued penance for those dreadful ads a decade or so ago.

Perhaps not so funny, but I said this same thing yesterday in regard to the Texas law relating to abortion.

They just want physical power and control over everyone.

Derek Thompson. (2021, May 17). Weeks ago, Gov. Abbott made Texas the first state to abolish its mask mandate and lift capacity constraints for all businesses. So, what changed? Nothing. There was ~no effect on COVID cases, employment, mobility, or retail foot traffic, in either liberal or conservative areas.

This is good opinion/info to support my claim. If only Santa Anna had given mercy to the Texans, he could've used them against their side, and they could've helped him get more prisoners or win the revolution and continue his rein over Texas.

This is good to show how his execution of Texas soldiers wasn't working for him because everyone was willing to fight even harder, not going to die without a fight.

Sounds like MOOCs have been part of his role, at least in UT’s collaboration with edX. Which brings an interesting context to the piece, especially in view of what we might call “the end of the MOOC moment”.
