There's a well known refrain that Tesla is banned in Texas. That's somewhat true, but not completely. For example, you can buy a Tesla online and pick it up at a delivery center — many Tesla owners have done this, including one of CleanTechnica's writers

In early May the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) made headlines as the Trump administration announced that it will once again renew William Pendley as BLM acting director. This choice is disappointing to say the least, not to mention a potential violation of the Federal Vacancies Reform Act

We should not bail out oil companies. But we probably will since Trump is scrambling to do just that. As we know, the price of oil in the US fell below zero for the first time ever the other day

Yesterday, the price of oil dropped below the $0 line. For the first time in history, the price was negative. Bloomberg reports that the price reached minus $37.63 per barrel.
