NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The radical running to become Maine’s next Democratic senator has a plan for energy security. It’s called “surrender to China.”Graham Platner — the progressive oyster farmer and Marine veteran who had a literal Nazi tattoo, is endorsed by Vermont Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders and Massachusetts Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren. Polls say he is poised to unseat Republican Sen. Susan Collins and he recently explained his approach to America’s most dangerous geopolitical rival.”Our position towards China should be one of cooperation instead of one of opposition,” he said, calling a hawkish posture toward Beijing “absurd.”His rationale? We must join forces to address climate change. If we just work together with China on clean energy, the logic goes, we can make fossil fuels obsolete and usher in an era of peace, prosperity, and renewable power.SENATE HOPEFUL SAYS US SHOULD BE ‘FAR MORE COOPERATIVE’ WITH CHINA TO FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE It’s a farcical argument for an abundance of reasons. First, China is the worst polluter in the world and doesn’t care one iota about climate change. Second, energy wars of the future will focus on the components for clean energy technology, not on fossil fuels.…

Springfield Armory has just launched the Echelon Alpha, a more affordable version of the Echelon 4.0C.The Springfield Echelon 4.0C is one of the top concealed carry pistols currently on the market, but with an MSRP of $710, it’s pretty pricey. To make the 4.0C more accessible and affordable, Springfield Armory has just introduced a more budget-friendly version called the Echelon Alpha 4.0C.Thankfully, at its core, the Echelon Alpha is the same great pistol as its full-priced counterpart. That includes its serialized Echelon Central Operating Group that allows for interchangeable grip modules, its interchangeable backstraps, its Variable Interface System optics-ready slide, its 4-inch hammer-forged barrel and its 15-round capacity magazines. So, what did Springfield change to bring the price down? Not much. Namely, it has a simpler slide that deleted some of the aesthetic profiling of the original, and it ships with one magazine instead of two. Don’t worry, the slide still features aggressive forward and rear slide serrations.Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory, said this about the new pistol:At its launch in 2023, the Echelon immediately established itself as a top-tier, duty-grade 9mm … This new compact Alpha model expands accessibility to the modular Echelon ecosystem to…
