The winter solstice is fast approaching, and this is the first morning in a month that has felt like winter. Bring on the snow I say! Highlights from this morning’s roundup include a floating city outside of San Francisco, Nissan calls coal-powered EV pollution “bullshit,” and water-powered rocket boots.
