Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
The gutting of clean energy projects has contributed to a 13% jump in electricity bills since Trump returned to the White House, the report found, as the US increases its dependence on foreign oil.
Insanity of trying to actively trying to rely on anything but clean energy when its far more ethical and practical.
Hey why not invade Venezuela for some oil liberating?
It's an extinction burst. No one wants the oil, and so before giving up we had to really go big on getting the oil
They bet on inefficient, polluting and nonrenewable, and we lost.
When this happens in other countries it's worded much differently. Six months without electricity is not a modern civil society. Sounds like third world problems.
The US is a third world country with a first world paintjob
"Third world country with a Gucci belt."
It's a first world country that's been left to decay for a out 50 years at this point while also being balls deep in about 5 disasters that could cause total imperial collapse. You ever see pictures of rural Soviet villages that were clearly still primitive but improving slowly back in the post WW2 reconstruction period and then you see a picture of that same village and it's somehow gotten worse? That's the US right now.
All my light bulbs are LEDs, I keep my house at 82 in the summer, my appliances are less than 5 years old, etc. so why did my electric bill double under the Trump administration?
Mexico! /s
"It was biden and the immigrants fault. Not mine. And it was those tranny people too. They all stole the electricity for all their surgeries and things. But I'll have the economy fixed in two weeks™ ..."
