The survival of humans and the ecosystem at large depends on our transition to renewable energy.

Jessica Orsini

Sustainable power and a long-term subsidy to the folks owning the land? What's not to like?

Randy Wheeler

Any thing to lessen reliance on coal and gas is a good thing.

Some county residents have spoken against wind turbines at public hearings. Their objections include the noise and the size of property setbacks.

They can charge Columbia's E-scooters with them.

Will Mason

They are giant, noisy, bird murdering machines.

I have had 59 wind turbines built right across from our beautiful farm in Iowa. It was horrible. Causes migraines and cows just up and died with no explanation. Just think what it does to humans.

Defund all welfare programs. Make people responsible for their own actions.

SNAP is primarily funded by the U.S. federal government through congressional appropriations, with the USDA providing the funds, and states administering the program and covering their share of administrative costs.

Trump won this. SCOTUS ruled in favor of Trump.

Trump basically has no say in this, it's on the shoulders of Congress. Might want to study what all the 111th Congress did back in 2009-11... this is all about payback.

Zaos Gonzolez

Spend the money on something else. Send missiles to israel instead.

Toasty

Its all a game both sides are playing with real people in the middle. Trump should step aside and tell congress this mess is all theirs.

Max

Schumer knows this is all on the backs of the democrats.

There was a world series?

Fat Guy Outdoors

I haven't watched a baseball game since the late 80's. Just not my thing.
