"Big Oil may give lip service to slowing climate change, but companies still won’t accept they must produce less oil and gas. If our elected officials allow these corporations to put profits ahead of the planet, investors may become wealthy, but we’ll be miserable."

There are so many of these articles urging investors to buy shares in fossil gas companies due to the data centre boom (naturally paired with some half-arsed brain-farts about CCS)

1 Energy Dividend Stock to Invest in the Data Center Boom Ruchi Gupta - Barchart - Sun Sep 1, 11:15AM CDT Natural Gas - Natural gas burnoff refinery by Leonid Eremeychuk via iStock Natural Gas - Natural gas burnoff refinery by Leonid Eremeychuk via iStock California Resources Corp. (CRC) is an oil and natural gas company involved in the exploration, production, and marketing of crude oil (CLV24), natural gas (NGV24), and natural gas liquids (NGLs). Additionally, it is also involved in the production and sale of electricity to the utility sector and wholesale power market, and has a joint venture with Brookfield geared towar n Aug. 21, Bank of America (BAC) analyst Kalei Akamine upgraded the energy stock from “Neutral” to “Buy,” while increasing the price target from $57 to $65. In a note to clients, the analyst cited CRC's close proximity to California's Central Valley, set to become an AI data center hub by 2028. Noting that "the best option for clean dispatchable baseload power in California may be natural gas with carbon capture," the analyst added that "[carbon capture and storage] development is still conceptual, but data centers may be the commercial opportunity to push this forward." CRC now has an average 12-month price target of $62.28, implying upside potential of 18.7% from Friday's close.

NEW: The Second Circuit revives Sarah Palin's defamation suit against the New York Times for a second time, ordering a new trial (via Josh Russell, Courthouse News) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
Excerpt. Follow link in post for full text. Despite the district court's Rule 50 dismissal, the jury was allowed to reach a verdict, and it found the Times and Bennet "not liable." Unfortunately, several major issues at trial - specifically, the erroneous exclusion of evidence, an inaccurate jury instruction, a legally erroneous response to a mid-deliberation jury question, and jurors learning during deliberations of the district court's Rule 50 dismissal ruling - impugn the reliability of that verdict. The jury is sacrosanct in our legal system, and we have a duty to protect its constitutional role, both by ensuring that the jury's role is not usurped by judges and by making certain that juries are provided with relevant proffered evidence and properly instructed on the law. We therefore VACATE and REMAND for proceedings, including a new trial, consistent with this opinion.

Handy reminder that:

A. The news is a first draft of history
B. First drafts are often overtaken by subsequent developments

Harris: 51%
Trump: 26%

It's been instantly and forcibly forgotten, but us regular people don't have to forget that our news media chose to print hacked campaign materials when it would hurt a Democratic candidate and have chosen to keep it secret when it is a Republican candidate.

My god the media has done an amazing job on their new policy to suppress coverage of hacked materials as well as candidate mental health and rape cases.
