Tesla US sales drop to nearly 4-year low in November despite launch of cheaper versions: the company's total sales fell nearly 23% to 39,800 vehicles from 51,513 a year earlier.

New York just doubled down on clean energy in a big way.
The state's Power Authority approved an ambitious update: 5.5 GW of renewable capacity including solar, wind, and innovative compressed air storage. That's 2.5 GW more than previously planned.
The goal? Help develop 15 GW total to hit climate targets while keeping costs down as demand surges.
Et ainsi périssent les ennemis de la république !

I wrote a story. It starts:
He woke up, looking forward to finally fishing. He’s retired, even though he feels like he could keep doing the work, and now, finally, he has the chance to go out on his boat, with a beer and his rod to catch something.
