It provides politicians with a slush fund to spend on virtually anything vaguely climate-related. It has funded electric vehicle incentives and a high-speed rail project that — at least during the construction phase — boosts the release of pollutants. But now it’s just

  By MATT SEDENSKY, Associated Press
  NEW YORK (AP) — For years, it was a daily McDonald’s trip for a cup of coffee with 10 sugars and five creams. Later, it was Starbucks caramel macchiatos with almond milk and two pumps of syrup.
  Coffee has been a morning ritual for Chandra Donelson since she was old enough to drink it. But, dismayed by rising prices, the 35-year-old from Washington, D.C., did the unthinkable: She gave it up.

  I appreciate the practicality of cabbage. Store it properly and it can stay fresh for two weeks in the refrigerator. Long after more perishable greens are kaput, cabbage is crisp, ready to use in a wide range of hot or cold dishes. And it is often sold at bargain-basement prices.
  Not as high in vitamins and minerals as its Brassica cousins (Brussels sprouts, broccoli and bok choy), it still weighs in high in fiber and vitamin C, with 1 cup of chopped cabbage offering 54% of the Recommended Dieta
