Little-known Christmas fact: To legally fly from house to house tonight using a foreign-made sleigh and non-US reindeer, Santa Claus must certify with the US govt that he won't pick up ANY new presents along the way. All presents must originate & depart from the North Pole.

Renewables and market design are easy targets during power failures, but they are inadequate explanations The simpler truth from @JinjLee: Texas isn’t used to the cold and isn't prepared for it, a problem in an era of climate change and extreme weather

This is @WSJ's story on the environmental toll of the border wall Construction is speeding up, especially across federally-protected wilderness. That means bulldozing cactus; blasting into mountains; building in habitat home to dozens of endangered species
