Decommissioned coal plants have the energy interfaces to support wind and solar power for grid integration. Miniature nuclear power plants can be safely installed and changing our methods of farming can all contribute to decreased carbon and methane emissions. Three Federal programs dispersed funds to States for renewable energy, employ more people and implement sustainable energy projects, now!

The rate of cancer would increase dramatically in any community exposed to the refinery process. EPA continues to recommend processes and chemicals that are Fossil Fuel based or contain PFAS, a known toxin that is unnecessarily added to clothing and fabric. When will the EPA stop harming citizens and ban products and processes containing toxins? Lawsuits and protests reverse ingrained policy decisions.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce If the people were polled, over 60% would vote in favor of easy access to an abortion. Mifepristone is used safely, in conjunction with misoprostol, to terminate pregnancies up to 10 weeks. It was developed in France in the 1980’s (RU 486) and is used extensively throughout Great Britain and the EU today. Why are State’s attorneys general interfering in Women’s Reproductive Health? Why is a women’s health legislated by a politician, rather then her physician?

However, we need a 7% reduction in emissions to halve emissions for the decade. There has been major investments in renewables, heat pumps and EV’s. Our warming planet, also cut down the need for Fossil fuel energy. Let’s keep up our investment in sustainable energy. Why not intersperse Solar panels in agriculture and create a cooler wetter environment for crops to grow? Many Europeans are employing these sustainable methods.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Fascinating, Alzheimer’s may be caused by the Herpes virus infecting us. A study out of Oxford, Great Britain will culminate in 2024 with more definitive results. If Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), can cause Alzheimers, there’s a simple remedy; the Shingrex Vaccine. The Vaccine is a two shot regimen, administered for free in the US, up to a maximum of 4 months apart. Some bacteria may be causal as well and we know some who have gotten Covid are prone to dementia. Amyloids are necessary to protect our brain from inflammation. Too many plaques, may be a function of old age and/ or a poorly functioning immune system. It appears people who get herpes and are treated with an antiviral are 9 x’s less likely to get Alzheimer’s. #ScienceUpFront

TheVoiceOfJoyce Major Cancer breakthrough: Dr Chang at Stanford, working under a major scientific research program, the Cancer Grand Challenges, coordinates scientific disciplines from the Cancer Center UK and US National Cancer Institute, has uncovered an extra chromosomal DNA , that is unattached to cells and functions to turn on cancer cells. The ecDNA, as it’s called, has the ability to evade detection, until the body is most vulnerable and then produce cancer/ tumors. Now that they’ve found ecDNA, researchers are working on ways to disrupt this protein. Once this protein is disrupted, tumors can be destroyed with existing methodologies. Researchers from many scientific disciplines are working towards destroying these extra cellular DNA particles. When they’re successful, they’ll be able to prevent cancer reoccurring.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Is bio electricity the new frontier of the 21 st Century? It’s a beginning. Our cells are charged particles that communicate with each other. In Defense, the brain is stimulated electrically for greater focus and accuracy. In cancer cells , an electric current , can disrupt their ability to metastasize. In Parkinson’s, two thin wires, inserted in the brain, slows the disease’s progression. Bio electricity is in its nascent form, all potential. Further experimentation is required to determine our understanding of body electrical impulses. How do cells communicate? How does bio electrical impulses give shape to our formation? We know heart muscle can trigger synchronous behavior when placed next to stem cells; they’ll all beat in unison, as one.
