Los Angeles Lakers small forward LeBron James, who is no fan of former President Donald Trump, is now a part-owner of the Boston Red Sox.
Several news reports on Tuesday this week noted that James will join Fenway Sports Group as a partner. He will have some sort of an ownership stake in the company's subsidiaries including the Boston Red Sox, Liverpool Football Club, Roush Fenway Racing, and NESN. The 36-year-old already owned 2 percent of Liverpool FC, a Premier League soccer team in the United Kingdom.
Eliminating carbon emissions from cars and trucks in Massachusetts right away would require taxing gasoline at more than $14 a gallon, a study from the Beacon Hill Institute has found.
Such a proposal is not on the table. But the authors suggest the numbers point to a harsh reality: Pursuing longer-term climate-change benchmarks toward net-zero carbon emissions will be harmful along the way and ultimately unattainable.
