“What we’re learning is … battery storage is not like building a power station with (all that) complexity. You put one down, and you multiply that by 1000s, just like Lego bricks that you stick in & plug in, and instantaneously they work"

"It’s cheaper to build a new solar farm in India than to simply keep buying the coal for an existing coal-fired power plant." Bill McKibben.

India is out performing China at the same stage ..

USA's FF policy is an outlier. A domestic hold-out against a global switch to renewables.

Where's the outrage we saw when Angela Rayner, who paid the wrong amount of tax on a property for her disabled son, & followed poor advice? She had a single breach of code for an amount ~10% of what Farage has tried to tax dodge.

When is he going to be made to resign due to media pressure?

By design! Trump is in office to solve the problems of autocrats. Wrecking America so thoroughly it will take generations to recover and clearing way for dedollarization is part of this.
So much for America winning. This headline should devastate any presidency.

Border Patrol agents are very sad that everyone in Minnesota hates them.

“At each gas station where the agents stopped to use the restroom, groups of agitators appeared, yelled at them, stalked them, and even tried to prevent law enforcement vehicles from leaving…”

No Republicans today disputed Jack Smith’s findings.

He issued an entire report and none of them disputed that Trump engaged in conspiracy to try to overturn the 2020 election.

The leaders of Albania & Azerbaijan were filmed mocking US Trump for claiming he ended a war between the 2 countries, even though they have never fought each other.

The world thinks that the occupant is a joke.
He’s destroying our country. Congress must act.

Trump’s polls are in the toilet, he was a laughingstock at Davos, forced to surrender on Greenland, nobody wanted to join his Bored of Peace club, late-night comics are picking on him, Gavin is stalking him, Melania sleeps in a separate house, & nobody will give him real prizes.

I'm old enough to remember when Republicans beat Democrats over the head with the charge that Dems had turned the United States into a "pitiful helpless giant."

Turns out they wanted that honor for themselves.

Politicians complicate things. This isn’t complicated. If you want heavily armed, masked federal agents roaming our streets terrorizing immigrants & citizens, then vote Republican in November. If you don’t want them roaming our streets, vote Democrat.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
