More and more international researchers I talk to are choosing not to visit the US in the current political climate. Over time, I think this will complicate information exchange between US and international researchers, slowing the process of scientific discovery.

In Texas, just an hour ago, the grid hit a 2025 peak demand record at 82,566 megawatts. Solar was providing 30% of the power, and wind was about 16%. The cost of wholesale power in Texas was $22 a MWh. No conservation alert, no shedding or shutdown – just abundant affordable power. Shine on.
