"Fossil demand has been flat for industrial energy since 2014, for buildings since 2018, for road transport since 2019, & may peak for electricity this year. 2/3 of countries have already seen peak fossil demand in end-use sectors, & half the world has seen a peak in fossil fuels for electricity."
The Electrotech Revolution | Ember
The annual slidedeck from Kingsmill Bond and the Ember Futures team unpacks how electrotech is rewriting the economics and geopolitics of energy.

Who imposed tariffs?
Who cut immigration, destroying the ag workforce?
Who undermined the Fed?
Who halted renewable energy?
Who's running deficits?

Mike Johnson: "That's the reason the inflation is up, the cost of living is up so high -- because of the policies of the previous administration. Now, we're working to root those policies out and implement our own, but it takes a little time."

This isn't "internal recriminations." It's voters expressing overwhelming opposition to what the people they elected to represent them are doing, and anyone--either in journalism or politics--who characterizes it as infighting is either not seeing and hearing what's right in front of them or lying.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

America's political elite has decided that climate change is no longer that important or worth talking about, but rest assured, it's still happening, it's extremely bad, and yes, it is going to affect you here in America.
What Climate Change Will Do to America by Mid-Century
Many places may become uninhabitable. Many people may be on their own.

This is a really brilliant animation, showing how global warming has increased the probabilities of extreme heat. Note how it's not just a matter of a shift in the mean -- the distribution has gotten broader. Probably not enough data yet to tell if the tails have gotten fatter.
Exactly! Which makes the real climate shift way scarier. Like shown by the data from svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5452/

the shoe is on the other foot. but the idea that the whole thing was simply fake didn't bear scrutiny eighteen months ago either. purchasing power for lower deciles has been falling for decades. there WAS a big inflationary shock. Yr analysis wld be better if you didn't pretend those don't exist.

Well, the loan sharks come in when you are trying to fund those heavy expenses. Don't do drugs and gamble, kids.
But one thing we can see is how US economy evolved, from the 70's, finding ways to maintain consumer demand while forces acted upon it to cheapen labor.
