Autoblog4 myths about green energy being pushed by GOP candidates
When Yahoo Finance interviewed former Vice President Mike Pence on Sept. 26, he referred to President Biden’s energy policies as the “Green New Deal.” Biden actually opposed the Green New Deal (GND), which was a fanciful plan hatched by liberal Democrats in 2019 to overhaul the energy and transportation sectors and remake much of the US economy. There was never a chance it would become law, but progressives such as Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) hoped the GND would serve as a vision document for future efforts to combat global warming.

Elon Musk's X headed for 'rule of law' clash with EU, warns Twitter's former head of trust & safety
The former head of trust and safety at Twitter has warned the platform now known as X is charting a collision course with the European Union's rebooted digital rulebook, the Digital Services Act (DSA) -- which carries penalties of up to 6% of global annual turnover for confirmed breaches of the online governance regime. Speaking during an on-stage interview at the Code Conference this week, Yoel Roth pointed to X's decision back in May to withdraw from the EU's Code of Practice on Disinformation, as well as citing recent remarks by commissioner Vera Jourova which singled out the platform as the worst for the spread of disinformation -- predicting a clash with the bloc's regulators is now "inevitable".
