Today, the energy markets in most states in the USA are what are called regulated monopolies, meaning consumers only have one choice for where they get their electricity. This setup has its roots back in the early 1900s, and the US energy market has operated under regulation since that time, although numerous changes were made along the way. The energy market became dominated by monopolies ...
The primary need of any system is an input of energy and information that will allow it to maintain its existence, its pattern or structure, despite entropy. Systems have developed, have become more complex, over billions of years in order to address this need. Live forms are systems that have developed an extraordinary variety of methods of meeting this need, and these methods themselves are ...

Many of our world leaders have remained almost silent about the UN warning that we have just 12 years to halt a climate catastrophe.
