An environmental non-profit organization is advocating for engineers and scientists to stay in the Rio Grande Valley as work continues to ramp up at the SpaceX Boca Chica facility.
A local branch of the American Conservation Coalition is pushing to have those scientists and engineers stay and work here. We definitely have talent here and we just need to hone what we have and encourage our youth to get involved and to get them to stay, Ibrahim Garza, president of the McAllen ACC branch said.

First Congressional District Republican Rep. Blake Moore, who represents Summit County in Congress, says the Republican Party cannot sit on the sidelines of the climate change debate and stressed the need for the GOP to “change that narrative” as the United States explores ways to lower carbon emissions.
Moore made the comments during a virtual town hall discussion Monday, co-hosted by the Citizens’ Climate Lobby and the American Conservation Coalition. Moore noted the Citizens’ Climate Lobby was one of the first groups he met with last year after winning the nomination for his congressional seat.
“It wasn’t big, just a dozen or so people who are very active in Utah, but it meant a lot to me,” he said. “It showed me how important this issue is to people and I’m excited to be a conservative voice in that space.”

(Reuters) â When a majority of Cornell Universityâs Republican club voted to endorse President Donald Trump in the 2020 election, many of its moderate members left the group.
After Joe Biden won and club leader Weston Barker wrote an op-ed in the school paper urging people to accept the Democrat as the legitimately elected president, pro-Trump members defected.
The club remains deeply divided months later, Barker said, with its members â like Republicans nationally â split on the best path forward as the party looks to regain some power in next yearâs midterm congressional elections.
