Green energy in the UK is paid fixed contract prices unrelated to the market price for energy. Those contract prices have typically been higher than market prices.

Tesla delivered 336k last q1.
It is possible they may drop below 300k this quarter.

and maybe a year to get my strength back. I won't know for another 3 months whether the treatment has worked.
I posted this because my cancer was caused by the HPV16 virus, for which we now have a safe and effective vaccine.
Get your kids vaccinated.

The sore throat and swallowing problems start after about one week of treatments and gradually get worse. The skin in the neck area starts to peel and blister around week 4.
This gets worse until two weeks after treatment is done. It will be six to eight weeks for things to return to normal....

started a few weeks later after MRIs and CT scans and fitting of a mask to keep me in the right position during treatment. The radiation doesn't hurt but the side effects are horrendous. I soon lost the ability to swallow and I have a tube placed directly into my stomach for feeding....

I recently completed a course of 35 radiation treatments for tonsil cancer. I was diagnosed last November, the first step was to have a tracheostomy to provide me with a means of breathing in case my throat became blocked. That was 17 days in hospital, I tested positive for COVID. The radiation ....

Why did it take 13 years for the DMV to prosecute a simple open and shut case of Tesla ignoring regulations?

It will pay off only if they can do an IPO and dump the garbage onto gullible retail investors.

How many of the SpaceX investors were also xAI investors who agreed to this to save their investment in xAI?

How would the starry eyed investors get a return on their investment in this "city on the moon"? I can't imagine anyone paying to live there, and I don't envisage any profitable pursuits coming out of it.
It seems the starry eyed investors would be supporting a massive cash furnace.

He can only be elected twice. If he can prove that he won in 2020, then he will have to step down because he would not have been eligible for 2024.

The damage will take a long time to fix, but the first step has to be getting rid of Trump. The longer he stays, the worse it gets.

The HPV vaccine is not just for women. The vaccine also protects against HPV related tonsil cancer in both sexes.

I am currently undergoing treatment for HPV related tonsil cancer. Believe me, it is no fun.

Get the vaccine.

Screenshot of a TikTok video with error message at top saying “your video is under review and can’t be shared right now.”

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

The gun photo released by the DHS is a copy of a photo posted on X five days ago.

You might also ask why they used a photo of a gun that had been posted on the internet five days prior to the incident.

No it isn't. Read David Turver's substack. He provides carefully researched real information that clearly shows wind and solar cost more than gas,even after gas is burdened with a carbon tax.

Wind farms are paid fixed contract prices for their electricity. They can bid low prices into the wholesale market knowing that those prices will be topped up to the contract prices by subsidies.
There is no relationship between what wind farms bid into the market and what users pay for electricity.

It also provides $30 billion for SpaceX to support xAI and buy more cyber trucks. Not bad for 2% of the company.

SpaceX is proposing a $1.5tn valuation but is only placing $30bn of shares in the IPO.
Existing shareholders will hold 98% of the shares. By limiting the number of shares on the market, they may be able to slowly sell off without tanking the share price, leaving the retail rubes holding the bag.

It's very fitting that they are shown suspended precariously at a great height, where just one false move can result in a disastrous plunge.
