In North Dakota, coal gets the credit for creating the long-enjoyed security of knowing that the lights will come on whenever we flip the switch.
It has become so reliable that we donât even think about it any more. We just take for granted that the furnace will keep us warm through the hostile winter months, that the refrigerator will preserve our leftovers until tomorrow, and that all our electronic devices will keep us connected to our friends and family around the world.

Approximately one-third of all U.S. counties do not exempt grocery foods from the general sales tax, which means the lowest-income families living in those areas are most susceptible to food insecurity.
A new study co-authored by Harry Kaiser, the Gellert Family Professor at the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, finds that even a slight grocery tax-rate increase could be problematic for many.

Grocery taxes that rose by just one percentage point led to a higher risk of hunger in households.”
