The terrorist state keeps on terrorizing. A ceasefire to them pretty much means an opportunity to slaughter a few more Palestinians without interruption!

Texas geothermal energy is booming! Interesting. I think there is also a lot of geothermal in Iceland, but possibly the country has too small a population to make the chart.

Carney and the Canadian Government are tolerating and abetting Israeli genocide and ethnic cleansing in Israel. Not to mention Israel's slaughter of tens of thousands of civilians. This shames us and it shames Canada!
