I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

How much hydrogen should Europe produce by 2040? Our analysis suggests that targeting around 25 Mt of hydrogen in 2040 enables a 90% emissions reduction—across a wide range of plausible future scenarios. 1/n

This story requires a great deal more attention. The Trump administration is doing everything it can to get Russian gas back into Europe. This is Washington and Moscow now in full strategic alignment via a shared vision of a fossil fuel future.
Exclusive: US, Russia explore ways to restore Russian gas flows to Europe, sources say
With a frost covering Europe's energy relations with Russia, officials from Washington and Moscow have held discussions about the U.S. helping to revive Russian gas sales to the continent, eight sources familiar with the talks have told Reuters.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Nice, short piece arguing that stranded assets are about much more than just fossil fuel reserves -- here, for example, commercial property. And if investors hope promised policies will not be carried through, they are taking on a lot of risk.

While these results on the local social cost of wind turbines are interesting, the underlying framework should also be of interest to energy system modelers and anyone working on assessing renewable potentials.

Wind power has considerable benefits for the Austrian electricity systems but also comes with social and environmental cost. Our new paper (doi.org/10.1016/j.en...) quantifies the local social cost that policy makers attributed to wind turbines in Lower Austria's wind power zoning enacted in 2014.
