Energy moves the needle
Energy moves the needleThe fall in sky-high energy prices gets much of the credit for the lower inflation readings.

Prices at the pump hit a symbolic threshold on Thursday, falling below $4 a gallon fo...

In recent months, there has been some cause
In recent months, there has been some cause for optimism on this front. The surge in e-waste has led to increased pressure on manufacturers to ease restrictions on fixing devices for individuals and independent repair shops in a push known as the "right to repair" movement.
