Rather than depending on lunatic Putin for Russian gas or lunatic Trump for American gas, perhaps Europe should develop its own domestic power supply and be free of lunatics entirely.

One of the stories that makes me the saddest out of this ICE invasion is one out of the Minnesota Star Tribune today about ICE agents eating at a little Mexican restaurant in the small town of Willmar, Minn, —and then, when they were done, arresting some of the workers.

I still remember Ma telling me five years ago that if these insurrectionists on January 6th were Black, then they would be dead. Five years later, they are almost all alive, out of jail, and their guy is back in the White House. If that’s not White privilege, then I don’t know what is.

Switzerland has just approved export credits for the 1,336 MW Kozienice gas project in #Poland. This saddles a country rapidly turning towards renewables with dirty, expensive power and exposes the Swiss position at #COP30 as a hoax. My comment at swissclimaterambles.substack.com/p/switzerlan....
