Worse than the worst War on Terror drone strikes. By innocents killed, worse than multiple of the worst drone strike errors combined.

Per The Economist/YouGov, half of Americans support ABOLISHING ICE.

Literally, "abolishing."

Trump's war is bad because people are dead who would be alive today if Trump had not chosen to start a war.

Oppose war for whatever reason you want, but for me, it's the killing, the destruction, the ruination of lives on a massive scale

That's why I oppose Trump's war

My thoughts on Fox News Sunday after the first 24 hours of war with Iran: This is a war of choice. We all want a free and democratic Iran. But overthrowing authoritarian leaders with force has not historically led to democratic, pro-U.S. governments rising in their place.

Good morning with good news: Solar, wind & batteries will be 93% of US record-high new utility-scale capacity additions in 2026!

Gas additions of 6.3 GW will be less than 6.4 GW of gas & coal retirements!

Solar adds will be ~50 GW, with small solar included.

Why Spain & Portugal are Still Outperforming the Rest of Europe
YouTube video by TLDR News EU Why Spain & Portugal are Still Outperforming the Rest of Europe

The Keys to Spain's economic boom are:

1) Allowing lots of people to immigrate and become citizens and

2) Building a lot of clean energy.

Someone should tell Congress

Solar and Batteries Are Squeezing Out Natural Gas in California The state's power emissions fell 8% last year, even as they rose almost everywhere else.

California seems to be building a massive amount of renewable energy and storage while not building a massive volume of new data centres.

That seems to be having the effect of actual drops in greenhouse gas emissions, particularly as batteries cut deep into gas

Texas operates the most competitive and freest generation market in the USA!

What is that market doing?

Wind, solar & storage dominate new generation, despite the big TX fund to subsidize gas plants (gas socialism) & no state RPS.

Why?

They're cheaper!

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

Coal power generation falls in China and India for first time since 1970s β€˜Historic’ moment in biggest coal-consuming countries could bring decline in global emissions, analysis says

Coal generation falls in both China and India in 2025!

Coal down 3% in India.
Coal down 1.6% in China.

"The simultaneous fall in coal-powered electricity in the world’s biggest coal-consuming countries had not happened since 1973."

Wonderful!

Paramilitary forces reportedly on Venezuela's streets, as the US State Dept tells Americans to leave the country.

Not regime change, not democratization, not a US-friendly coup, not even successful resource theft. Regime decapitation with no follow-on plan, creating instability and nothing else.
