A normal thing

They want to withhold federal money for a state’s infrastructure if the state has a law that protects its residents from the downsides of AI.

Gasoline starts to degrade after a few months and is almost worthless after a few years

Climate change is a threat multiplier.

The US military used to say so when is was telling the truth.

Because
1. they aren't being vaccinated
2. they aren't being fed
3. when they are fed, it's a lot of crap
4. they're being shot
5. diseases are allowed to run rampant through their schools
6. one by one, their safety nets are being dissolved

The Monongahela incline is a banger

Gonna go into my way back machine here and shout out the South Jersey to Philly PATCO line or the Trenton-Camden NJ Transit River LINE

How you gonna go on this DIA stan thread without dropping it in the meat market chat

Trump Returns to Gasoline as Fuel of Choice for Cars, Gutting Biden’s Climate Policy

This will raise how much you pay to drive your car for the next ten years. Every time you fill up at the pump, the price should've been lower, but it won't be, because of this. Also more kids and elderly people will get sick from air pollution. Analysis: Seems bad. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/c...

Just think of the potential for Spirit Halloween stores to use all those vacant data centers

Hey, rocks are great! I’m just saying technology has evolved far past something that was developed in Victorian England, and digging up/crushing rocks to burn is expensive and makes power plants break down.

Xcel, Colorado agencies propose extending life of Comanche 2 coal unit Xcel’s 750-MW, coal-fired Comanche 3 is offline until at least June, and Colorado peak demand forecasts are rising quickly.

Seems like ratepayers will be on the hook for keeping 2 open to make up for 3 being broken down www.utilitydive.com/news/xcel-co...

Comanche 3, Colorado’s newest coal plant has already been broken down *two full years* since it began burning crushed rocks in 2010. Now it will be offline another year.

Thanks for sharing :)

Yes, the article is only about the US

Coal’s Not Coming Back 19th century technology can’t compete economically with 21st century clean energy

Coal’s Not Coming Back 19th century technology can’t compete economically with 21st century clean energy

"The cost of running coal plants rose 28 percent from 2021 to 2024, nearly double the rate of inflation over that time, forcing consumers to pay $6 billion in unnecessary energy bills," writes @energyinnovation.org's @silviomarcacci.bsky.social: thepowerline.substack.com/p/coals-not-... 🔌💡

It’s always projection with these people

You are right, and I am glad for this reminder of hope

Enviro group that helped lead Keystone Pipeline opposition suspends US operations The group will keep three U.S. positions open in hopes of reviving operations in the future.

Rest in power.

Hard to overlook that the groups being killed off under the Trump administration are the ones that fight large-scale oil infrastructure.

Amazon just sued one of the largest power companies in Oregon after it failed to power up two data center (one without enough power and one with no power at all) campuses that were meant to be ready *in 2021*. Sure hope this isn't an industry wide problem!

Honestly can’t believe this gif is available

Bill Gates gave $3.5 million to fund notorious climate denier Bjorn Lomborg, who says "climate change is not an existential threat."

Bill Gates just wrote that climate change is "not the existential threat some would have us believe."
