in his first term he didnt actually do anything for the industry however he seems now more focused on keeping his promise do you think he might actually do it
I’ve worked as a safety professional in the construction industry for over 10 years. During that time, I’ve had to fight against OSHA in court over the wording in our training documents. I’ve also dealt with a former employee suing my employer, claiming they weren’t trained properly because certain topics were missing from our training materials. From those experiences, I’ve learned how important it is to have detailed training documents to protect a company.
The problem is, creating these documents can be really time-consuming and stressful. It’s easy to miss something critical, like a safety requirement or a cleaning procedure from a manufacturer’s manual. To make sure your training materials are complete, you end up reading the entire PDF manual. But even if you miss one small detail, it could put your company at risk—for example, through OSHA fines, injuries, or lawsuits.
That’s why I want your honest opinion about this idea for new software. Imagine you could upload a manufacturer’s PDF manual into the software. In just a few seconds, it pulls out all the safety procedures, how-to-use steps, cleaning instructions, recommendations, PPE requirements, and “do not” warnings. Then, it creates a Word document for training.
You can choose if you want the document to be one or more pages. The training document would include your company logo and a title at the top. At the bottom, there would be a place for both the employee’s and employer’s signatures.
This software could help create training documents for all kinds of equipment: industrial, office, medical, fitness, outdoor, restaurant, scientific instruments, firearms, agricultural machinery, power tools, and even construction systems. It’s designed to work for every industry.
The software isn’t built yet, but I’d love your feedback. Would you recommend any changes? And if this sounds like something you’d use, please let me know by upvoting.
Solar stocks are facing turbulent times as the potential repeal of the Inflation Reduction Act looms under Trump’s administration. Companies like Sunrun and Sunnova Energy, heavily reliant on residential incentives, have already seen significant stock declines, while utility-scale players like First Solar remain more insulated.
Will the solar industry adapt and thrive, or is a major downturn inevitable?

Hey team,
I am a financial consultant with an engineering firm- my background is in economics. I am considering a longer term career path in the energy sector beyond my current work that includes solar feasibility, lifecycle cost, benefit cost analysis. I like the analytical side of my work but it is quite separate from the commercial/decision making side of the business. To advance in the sector, I am considering a few future roles as next steps:
Ultimate goal would be to run/own a business in the space- tech agnostic but likely renewable based. I have a BA+MA in Econ, 3 YOE. Any advice on charting a course in the field? Thanks!
My house is 2000 sqft and has 100 AMPs total. We don't have much high energy appliances other than the standard AC, fridge, and washing machine. With this in mind, can we support a NEMA 14-15?
