TheVoiceOfJoyce The Hantavirus may not be an isolated case. The last time we had an outbreak of the Hantavirus, it arrived with El Niño. Unfortunately, we’re no longer prepared to combat new viruses. Trump has understaffed major preparedness, while wasting money on frivolous no bid contracts and a War. Meanwhile, we’re coping with an environment that caused dissension over Vaccine use that helps people and doesn’t harm them. People have died because the Trump administration withheld evidence that the Covid and Shingles vaccines are safe!

TheVoiceOfJoyce Energy is profitable for the Trump family, lobbyists and the Republicans who made $105 million from stifling green energy in America. The rest of the World is piling into green energy, since no one can live with the closed Straits of Hormuz. The Energy transition is accelerating. Even in America, March was the first month to use more renewables. Green energy will power our World and create twice as many jobs. Remove Trump Et al and restart making a living wage with Universal Healthcare. We can do it!

The War in Iran has convinced the World not to rely on Fossil Fuels. Everyone is going wind, solar, batteries & nuclear. We’re being held back by Trump’s regime, but the States are moving into green energy in spite of him. Green energy provides twice as many jobs without making you sick!!!

TheVoiceOfJoyce Nashville is finally thinking about buried power lines. They’re not alone in their resistance. However, underground lines will protect houses and businesses from future climate extremes. With our pro fossil fuel policies, expect more violent storms. Georgia fires have not been abated and over 120 homes have been lost. Investment I infrastructure and teachers pays off. Reconsider your options

April 27, 2026

The main debate in Nashville is the cost of burying NES electrical wiring. I’ve listened to this debate for 30 yrs up North and it never happens. One thing is absolute, storms are becoming more frequent and intense. How much is your life and property worth?

TheVoiceOfJoyce Let’s pivot to climate news. It’s the reason we must change course in November, El Niño will cause the Planet to surpass 1.5 degrees Celsius and that’s the beginning of worse weather patterns and man’s inability to cope with weather extremes. Why are we allowing small oil producers to avoid cleanup? Why aren’t pipelines spills plugged and monitored for safety? If regions are experiencing drought who’s at risk ? Crops? People?

Time to pay attention to our weather and dirty oil and lithium battery toxic waste sites. Disposal? Cleanup? El Niño temperatures exceeding 1.5 degrees Celsius.

TheVoiceOfJoyce It’s interesting the Economists can’t understand why we have poor consumer confidence in prices we’re paying. I don’t understand their conundrum. We were told we’d have lower food prices and we’re not seeing them at the grocery store. In fact, when I can purchase all the items on my list , they’re 30% higher. Recently, many items requested aren’t available. Trump’s chaotic policies: tariffs and Wars are effecting our ability to manage household expenses. Why don’t the Economists understand?

April 17, 2026

Paul Krugman is trying to explain that the actual index doesn’t justify our sour mood on consumer prices. When you have a limited budget, increases in spending for necessities hurts. We have a right to be concerned. With Trump’s policies, it’s unlikely prices will go down.

TheVoiceOfJoyce So much is happening in Nashville. Want to know how the latest EPA LAWS are effecting their toxic Coal Ash removal and on going practices, there will be public hearings for the next 60 days. Few folks picked up by ICE were violent criminals and no one, not even their Priest can visit detention centers? and if your sneezing and have got itchy eyes, Nashville’s pollen count is 11 on a 12 point scale. I’m thinking there’s a lot going on in Nashville. The EPA Ruling must be reviewed, ICE is still unaccountable and because we’re getting hotter faster, allergies are more severe! These events aren’t affecting only Nashville. The EPA, ICE and allergies affect all of us.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Even the music industry of Nashville is considering AI and they’re using it for songwriting profits. Song writers are no longer going to be ripped off by studios. You might want to follow their example and save your creative industry from AI? There’s local news too. The folks letting water drip to avoid frozen pipes aren’t being reimbursed and many are angry. Plus, the airport will be partially closed for renovation. Local news, deep dives and national news at the NashVillager.
