@TimothyDSnyder Absolutely justified the recommendation. Vance investor Thiel & his company Palantir have plans & ideas that look like they are fully in motion … Replace the state & politics with technology & infuse everything with Palantir Kill-Chain (Quote: CEO Karp) cruel-tech. That's
NEW: A former Palantir employee is sounding the alarm. Peter Thiel’s company rose to prominence working with military, law enforcement & ICE. They capitalize on fear and unrest to make money. Now they want you to pay them to build the “government’s central operating system.”

A country that is pushing the limit the most here is Norway. Thanks to massive hydropower, their electricity mix is 99% renewables. This abundance of electricity means they use it for everything they can, and they boast an incredibly high (outlying) electrification rate of 47%.

Australia's Grid CEO. “Our old coal-fired power stations are breaking down...They're getting replaced by the least-cost energy, which is renewable energy, backed with storage, connected. We'll have a bit of gas there for the winter doldrums." https://t.co/ya39E6oafT

Australia has put itself on a realistic path to achieving what climate activists around the world have long dreamed of: running its power grid entirely on renewable energy. The Australian Energy...

Why is China betting on solar AND wind? 🇨🇳☀️🍃 One reason: their output is complementary across the year. Solar output is higher in the summer, wind output is higher in the winter. Across seasons this gives a relatively flat profile over the year 🧵

NextEra SVP Petter Skantze says battery storage is now “the cheapest form of new capacity” in the US w/ “order of magnitude” faster deployment than gas w/ more modularity & flexible siting to enable higher system utilization & large load integration — #GridFWD in Monterey, CA

Our authoritarianism is run on clichés borrowed from the Eastern Europe of twenty years ago. Paid protestors, disloyal cities, evil Soros, vast conspiracies — it was all tiresome then and there, and now it’s pathetic.
Trump: "They're, like, insurrectionists, they're terrible people. But you really wonder why. Why are they doing it? What are they gaining? Other than they're obviously paid. They're paid a lot of money."

NEW | Solar and wind OUTPACED global electricity demand growth in the first half of 2025, leading to a slight fall in fossil fuels compared to this time last year ☀️🌪️ Record solar and steady wind growth is reshaping global power as renewables OVERTAKE coal for the first time.

Your regular reminder that there is actually a negative (albeit not quite significant) correlation between utility scale renewable additions and increases in electricity price across states over the past 24 years:
California is #1 in solar and #1 in price increases. Nevada is #2 in solar and #50 in price increases. Maybe... just maybe... it's NOT the solar that makes California expensive.

Die Unionsfraktion beklagt die Regelungswut der SPD Ministerien, der Kanzler will der Gesetzgebungsmaschine in Brüssel ein Stöckchen in die Räder stecken, um gleichzeitig die Veggie-Wurst und das Gemüse-Schnitzel zu verbieten. Aber man muss ehrlich sagen: Nicht alles an dieser

Wir als FDP im Europäischen Parlament haben natürlich gegen diesen Unsinn gestimmt, den andere Parteien unterstützt haben. Wir trauen den Menschen zu, dass sie klug genug sind, zu wissen, dass im Veggie-Burger kein Fleisch drin ist. Und im Leberkäs kein Käse.

Oregon National Guard Commander: We're the home team. Our job is to protect Oregonions. If Federalized, my advice to Title 10 (federal) Commander is that they should protect protesters at ICE facility.

New research from @ChristianOnRE @UniLUT shows how to manage multi-year storage in systems running on 100% RE. It concludes that a little overcapacity (e.g. 3.5% extra) is a LOT cheaper than increasing long term storage. https://t.co/6GtaCTPiU8

Since early 2023, the Russian military has constructed a learning ecosystem to not only adapt to war but institutionalize its combat experience. It remains a flawed organization but it is preparing for the future. My latest @ForeignAffairs

Merkels government allowed China to get acces to High-Tech German technology. Kuka was one of the largest and most advanced producers of industrial robotics worlwide, sold for scraps to China. Merkel has sold Germany and Europe out.

Wir leben in einer Persiflage. Milei fährt die argentinische Wirtschaft vor die Wand, sackt $20 Milliarden US Steuergelder zu seiner Rettung (Wahlen) ein, veröffentlich ein Buch zu seinem vermeintlichen Wirtschaftswunder und bewirbt es in einem riesigen Konzert. Trumpisten, die
