Sign the petition: Global Plastics Treaty In 2018, health expenditures in the U.S. soared to $250 billion, attributed to the presence of harmful chemicals found in plastics. Reclaim control over our health and support the Global Plastics Treaty.

How do you turn wasted plastic garbage into useful glue? While investigating methods to develop better plastics, researchers at @ORNL discovered a process to make a versatile adhesive that even works underwater:

Cybercab production may be getting ready to ramp up & a big clue are these rear quarter inner structures manufactured in the plastics section at Giga Texas. These inner structures are bonded to the RIM outer glossy gold panels & give strength, stability plus mounting points to the outer panels, similar to how the @Cybertruck outer stainless panels have bonded inner panels for attachment & stability. These (along with other, similar inner structures for other body panels like the rear hatch & front hood) will be needed in large quantities to support a big ramp in production … a good indicator to watch for!

"We know the healthiest thing for an American economy is an America that makes what it needs." — Missy Rogers, President, Noble Plastics, and chair of the board of directors of the New Orleans Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. In Grand Coteau, Louisiana, American manufacturing is making a comeback — driven by two companies who never stopped believing in it. Noble Plastics builds the junction boxes that power modules made at our Louisiana factory — American parts, made by American workers, for American-made solar technology. It's a partnership that means jobs and economic investment for the local community from both ends of the supply chain. Watch how two companies are building America's industrial base, together. 🎥👇 #AmericasSolarCompany# #AmericanManufacturing# #MadeInAmerica#

Oil and gas is the foundation of our economy. It quite literally drives our whole economy, feeding and clothing our families and even producing plastics and medicines. But Talarico and Radical Rosenthal have declared war on Texas energy and seek to end Oil and Gas. We can’t let that happen. Help me protect the Texas Miracle by donating today:

Millions of years from now, the traces of our lives will be buried in Earth’s layers. Plastics, silicon chips, concrete, and other technofossils may offer future archaeologists a record of how we lived, consumed, and reshaped the planet. 🔗
