White House: $8.2B for 10 major rail projects including US' first high-speed rail
  • TBH I think the best case scenario is auto manufacturers get into the train business. Sure it’d take a while but it makes sense from a mechanical and supply chain perspective.

  • Michigan ends marijuana testing for some government job applicants

    Michigan has altered rules that previously barred all state workers from employment if they failed a preemployment drug screen for marijuana.

    Michigan ends marijuana testing for some government job applicants

    Marijuana testing will remain in place for a large swath of government employees, including health workers, state police and Michigan Department of Corrections officers. But effective Oct. 1 eliminates the requirement for office staff and those applying for positions that don’t require driving, operation of heavy machinery or handling of hazardous materials.

    In settlement with critics, DTE Energy agrees to faster coal phase-out | Bridge Michigan
  • It’s going to be natural gas…. But I wish the answer was more solar. Natural gas is critical in the northern hemisphere for safety. Until there are significant investments for power storage from solar we are going to need gas.

    Whitmer population council adds youth, lowers average age of members to 52 | Bridge Michigan

    The average age on the council now a ripe young age of 52. Something tells me these people don’t actually care to understand why younger generations are leaving.

    I support this initiative but having decrepit lawmakers decide what to invest in for the future seems like a joke.
