California seems to be building a massive amount of renewable energy and storage while not building a massive volume of new data centres.
That seems to be having the effect of actual drops in greenhouse gas emissions, particularly as batteries cut deep into gas

Solar and Batteries Are Squeezing Out Natural Gas in California
The state's power emissions fell 8% last year, even as they rose almost everywhere else.

Texas operates the most competitive and freest generation market in the USA!
What is that market doing?
Wind, solar & storage dominate new generation, despite the big TX fund to subsidize gas plants (gas socialism) & no state RPS.
Why?
They're cheaper!

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Not regime change, not democratization, not a US-friendly coup, not even successful resource theft. Regime decapitation with no follow-on plan, creating instability and nothing else.

Create more space for drug traffickers. Prompt more migration. Even stealing oil makes no sense. And the US isn't even trying for democratization or helping Venezuelans.
