The 2018 hurricane season is ending. Here is an op-ed that I coauthored with my wonderful wife @MaggieMonast arguing that NC needs to prepare for future storms and a carbon market could help fund the necessary investments. newsobserver.com/opinion/art…

More frequent NC hurricanes are on the way. Here’s how we can get ready.

We can prepare for hurricanes now. Or we can pay for it later.

Chickens That Lay Organic Eggs Eat Imported Food, And It's Pricey

Environmentalists say the government sought to protect the utility and that the delay is a ploy to buy time until the spill crisis fades.
