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.

Wow, Trump forcing Americans to pay 3521% more on woke taxes for buying solar panels.

As long as he doesn’t have to pay any more to fund those silly social programs like checks notes food safety and misconduct enforcement. That’s straight up woke bullshit. /s

The the thing. They are. Americans decided they want to be exploited again.

MAGA, let's go back to a time when saw dust was a food stuff.

MAGA, let's go back to a time when lead was used to whiten milk.

MAGA, let's go back to a time when the local druggist would sell me a magical exlixr to cure the stomach cancer caused by the last magical elixir.

Hey! What you look at that! Told you coal is cheaper!

Looks like the petro companies paid their bribes...I mean...inauguration donations.

The US oil industry is collapsing. They can’t make much profit.

Rig count

Peak oil

Production drop

Tariffs

All that really matters is the price of a barrel of oil. It went from $75 to $64 between April 2nd and April 8th. That makes it hard up make money pumping oil out of fracked horizontal wells. I think below $60 and the turn those off.

You’d think the face eating leopards would be getting full, but they seem to be just getting started.

Oh I’m well aware. I’m a victim of the 2015 downturn when prices went from 100+ to 60 dollars.

You're parroting, almost verbatim, dialog from the fictional TV show "Landman."

Never seen it but I suppose life could imitate art.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world is laughing as they accelerate their solar installations, because there is more availability with the manufacturers free of American demand, and America falls even further behind.

But don’t worry, everyone, coal will give us energy independence.

What an unbelievable own goal you goddamn morons.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago

In a decades time the rest of the world will be putting sanctions on the US demanding they improve their renewable game.

Good news! Solar panels from four southeast Asian countries just got a lot cheaper in Canada!

Mate of mine just got the keys to his first house, time to rub his hands together delightedly

It’s called a self-embargo

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

My god these people are so pathetic.

I GO OVER 9000% TARRIF NOW, THAT WILL TEACH YOU!

At this point it's just sad to watch, really
