Leon Black was one of Epstein’s biggest clients, and he’s a good friend of Trump. He’s been approved by Eby to build LNG in BC

Trump treats Congress as a nuisanceβ€”just as Rome’s Senate once ceded power to generals with β€œimperator” status in wartime. Repeatedly bypassing Congress weakens democracy. In Rome, it ended with an emperor. In America, it must not. #RuleOfLaw #DemocracyMatters #TheSteadyState

I tried writing a Wikipedia page about a renowned musician. I failed. So: 1. Go through the training. The training describes what are reliable sources and what are not reliable sources. Example: The New York Times was a reliable source. A small town newspaper was not a reliable source. 2. Fail.

It's astonishing how wide the battery curve has gotten in California.

Last Tuesday, batteries consistently supplied more than 20% of demand for 4 hours from 6pm to 10pm.

Price signals are working well.

too many people only ask one question when they see the impact of disinformation

(how do we stop this disinformation)

when you should really ask a second

(how do we stop the sentiment that made these people seek out disinformation and accept it uncritically)

Sen. Whitehouse Launches Investigation into Industry Groups’ Influence on Endangerment Finding Repeal - Inside Climate News The climate hawk is asking 24 companies and organizations for documents tied to the EPA’s proposed rollback of the key 2009 finding that is the foundation of its regulation of greenhouse gases.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) announced a probe on 9/16 into business interests' role in the repeal of the "endangerment finding." The finding, issued in '09β€”but revoked in Julyβ€”was the basis of the EPA's regulation of gas emissions for over a decade. #resist

while the use phase is the most obviously damaging, the energy use and environmental harm from extracting, refining and transporting fossil fuels is enormous. oil tankers are generally petroleum-powered and the size of a skyscraper; they use a lot of fuel

He can silence the media. He can silence elected and appointed officials and federal employees, he can silence nonprofits and citizens. But he still won't be able to silence the condemning, mocking, sadistic voices in his memory.

@Ben Barclay, that mobility, price difference, public/private status may depend on the laws of the state. In California, industry pays more, not less, for electricity. centerforjobs.org/ca/energy-re....

Oh, honey - we don't call Econ the dismal science for nothing. My old man was an economist, he ruined life for working people around the planet as co author of Reagan's tax cut. When you say "Economist," tell your companions "Excuse me, I'm sorry."
