In a twist that would leave even the most hardened political observers raising their eyebrows, several prominent figures close to Donald Trump are making the surprising claim that solar power is actually the “energy of the future.” This shift comes as former house speaker Newt Gingrich, former GOP official Katie Miller, and a few other notable names begin to publicly promote solar energy, a topic Trump himself has labeled a scam in the past. Perhaps the rising electricity bills have finally caught their attention, reminding them that there’s more than one way to flip a switch.
Meanwhile, in Oregon, a dedicated group of volunteers is going above and beyond to ensure the local northern red-legged frogs safely navigate their way across a dangerous highway to reach their breeding grounds. These “frog taxis” are a testament to what communities can accomplish when they band together for a cause. It’s both heartwarming and hilarious to imagine a bustling highway filled with frog crossings, all while some big-name political figures are adding solar power to their repertoires. Who knew frogs and solar could unite people across the spectrum?
