German Solar + Wind Record … Tesla Model 3 Book … Boring Machine + Electric Sled (Top 30 CleanTechnica Stories)
Crazy week last week, eh? If you got a bit too caught up in Donald Trump’s shocking decision to fire FBI Director James Comey (because, apparently, Trump was sort of sick of seeing Comey discuss the FBI investigation into potential collusion between Trump’s campaign team and Russia), perhaps you missed some of our top stories.
Interestingly, the top story of the past week got shared by Bernie Sanders* on one of his Facebook pages (his US Senator page), but the big burst was thanks to a reader submitting it to reddit, where it rose to the top of the reddit homepage for quite a few people.
Naturally, Tesla flew in to steal several of the top spots. In this case, however, other automakers may be happy about that.
Since I sort of forgot to run a “top stories of the week” article last week, though, below are the top articles of the first half of May (not just the past week). Check out these 30 popular stories for some fun and … well, fun:
