I really, really hope that more Americans choose to focus more on their local political landscape over the next few years.
There are now at least 400 communities in the USA that have banned clean energy. I think that if more people paid attention to things happening in their states that this could be avoided and reversed which would be a valuable use of time imo.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) took aim at Vice President Harris’s foreign policy chops on Monday, saying Harris does not elicit fear in the country’s adversaries overseas. “The only person that our adversaries fear less than Joe Biden is Kamala Harris,” Johnson said in an interview.
Don't forget that Moscow Mike blocked aid from going to Ukraine for over four months!

I think it is horrible that China and Iran helped the Kremlin to attack Ukraine with one hundred and sixty missiles and drones last night so there's just no way you can convince me that those governments deserve any benefit of the doubt on any issue.

Be prepared for a new round of gaslighting about how dangerous EVs are.
A fire broke out at a parking lot at Rivian Automotive’s manufacturing facility in Normal, Illinois late on Saturday damaging many of its electric vehicles, the U.S. startup said on Sunday.
The fire was at a parking lot on the north side of the four-million-square-foot factory, located 130 miles (209 km) south of Chicago, and the assembly plant was unaffected, the Normal Fire Department said in a statement to Reuters.

Offshore wind is finally happening in U.S.!
The U.S. wind energy pipeline as of May 31, 2024, includes three fully operational projects. The first commercial-scale offshore wind power plant in the United States—the 132-megawatt (MW) South Fork Wind Farm—began delivering power to New York in November 2023 and was fully commissioned on March 14, 2024.
As of May 31, 2024, 15 offtake agreements have been signed, which
are associated with 12,378 MW of contracted capacity.

Traditional airplanes pump out about a billion tons of carbon dioxide every year. Electric planes produce no emissions at all, and that's only their first advantage.
"Every year, batteries get better and better, about seven percent per year," Beta's CEO and founder Kyle Clark said. "That means in seven years we'll double that. And another seven years, we'll double that again."
He believes that, in the-not-distant future, we will be flying on electric-powered jetliners.

Now I'm not going to assert that I'm any kind of expert on Telegram let alone the French legal system, but there have been a lot of recent sabotage and outright terrorism attacks on NATO countries that have been coordinated on Telegram and I know that the Russian military seems to utilize it a lot.
This bust of Telegram's CEO could have a major impact on transnational criminal organizations.
I assume it can continue operating without CEO since the Kremlin seems to run it though I suppose.

Conservative outlet the National Review executive editor Mark Antonio Wright weighed in on the disarray of the Republican ticket.
"Trump isn’t losing because Kamala Harris is being hyped by the press and fluffed up to kingdom come. He isn’t losing because the press is being unfair to him," Wright observed. "He’s losing because he’s a weak, unpopular, undisciplined candidate running at the head of a weak, minority electoral coalition. That’s the truth, whether anyone wants to hear it or not."

This is cool news about a hot process.
A new titanium plant in West Virginia is making waves in the clean energy space, thanks to its use of solar power to run.
The Timet plant will be taking over the site of a former aluminum smelter, which closed its doors in 2009. The move will further reduce the environmental impact of the project, as the site is already developed for industrial use.

One last thing, at the "press conference" prior to today's "press conference" Trump promised to hold a "press conference" explaining his position on the abortion amendment on Florida's ballot.
Will our legacy mainstream media treat him on that like they have been Kamala Harris over not having a press conference this month yet?

In its place I suppose. I'm not a fan of invasive species.

2024-08-09 18:38:01

There’s an invasive species of worm making itself known in Texas once again—the hammerhead flatworm.
These worms are toxic, hard to kill, and dangerous to native critters like earthworms.
Experts encourage people to kill these worms on site, and to avoid touching them directly, as the toxins they produce can irritate skin.
If they're cut in half, both halves regenerate though.

New Hampshire will be the 16th state in the U.S. to go coal-free – with New England being the second coal-free region in the country.

Six U.S. senators, including Senate banking committee member Elizabeth Warren, penned a letter to JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon, demanding clarification on the bank's climate commitments. Concerns regarding the bank's intentions started to arise in early 2024 when Dimon announced a policy shift that suggested a weakening of environmental goals.
"If JPMorgan Chase has misled investors and the public, both Congress and regulators have a range of tools to respond as necessary," Senator Warren said.

I was just over on that foul site seeing what some of the never-Trump Republicans were talking about. Unsurprisingly people like Joe Walsh are trying to dissuade MVP Harris from choosing Pete Buttigieg to be her VP by saying that Democrats will surely lose if she does.

Yes, Republicans have had some huge wins for themselves and their corporate cronies lately especially because they control the SCOTUS, but also because they have control over the Speaker's gavel too.
So, it's going to take winning the majority back to Democrats in the House alongside a substantially more difficult task of getting a large enough majority in the Senate to get rid of the filibuster.
It might be hard to do, but it's just what has to done along with protecting Joe and Kamala.

Our veterans working for our defense contractors are not only mercenaries, but they're also the best people to help protect international rules and norms in the conflicts we're forced to be involved in.

The only special gene I have that helped me to avoid getting #Covid is the one that also seems to make me so lonely.

I see people complaining about #Covid in the same posts as they're discussing their trips on airplanes. Why do you think these people have never heard about or why they don't care as much about our #ClimateCrisis ?

Do you want to know one of the biggest outbreaks of Dunning-Kruger ever?
It's all of these people proclaiming that they know how to run a campaign better than Joe Biden does.
His experience is what makes him the best person for the job at this point in our history people!

A Nevada judge (not certain if Republican or not) dismissed an indictment Friday against six Republicans accused of submitting certificates to Congress falsely declaring Donald Trump the winner of the state’s 2020 presidential election, potentially cutting from four to three the number of states with criminal charges pending against so-called fake electors.

If you want to know about Dunning-Kruger affliction let me tell you. Besides having studied in the best schools of east Russia I've read the wikipedia page so I can certainly correct all of your misconceptions.

New York is launching a program offering homeowners up to $14,000 in total rebates for energy-efficiency upgrades to their property, and more states are expected to follow suit by summer's end.
The rebate programs are part of the federal Inflation Reduction Act, the largest piece of climate legislation in U.S. history, which President Joe Biden signed in 2022.
Seventeen states had applied for Home Energy Rebates funding as of June 14. New York was the first to roll out funding to consumers.

Senator Steve Daines (R-MT), a member of Senate GOP leadership, wants to pass into law a campaign pledge by former President Donald Trump to eliminate taxes on tipped wages.
Can someone explain it to me like I'm a first grader why teachers should pay taxes on their income but bartenders should get a free ride from the rest of us?

America officially banned exports in 1975. It came two years after an OPEC oil embargo that banned oil sales to the U.S. had sent gas prices skyrocketing.
That changed after American voters allowed Republicans to retake control of Congress during the Obama administration.
Now look at how much of Texas' fossil fuels are exported versus keeping prices low for American consumers.

Katie Porter teamed up with James Comer to craft a White House ethics bill that the Republicans could use to help them target the Biden family.
Now she's complaining that it got pushback from Democrats.
She's bitter that her career in D.C. has taken a hit after the latest redistricting is what it seems like.

The council members wrote in the letter that on Friday violence broke out at the funeral of the young man who died in the shooting at the birthday party.
So the City of Akron has called off all large weekend events after eight City Council members expressed safety concerns following that June 2 shooting that left one dead and 28 injured at a birthday party.
They say that the events should be canceled because tensions are still high, people are still grieving, the shooter is still at-large.

This time last year I was worried that Ron DeSantis might be our next POTUS. I'm glad that didn't pan out.
I'm also glad that I snagged this cool @npub1w3p…pa78 cover art though too.

One out of every four cars sold globally last year was an electric vehicle.
After the batteries are too depleted for driving, instead of taking the batteries apart to get the valuable materials inside—a complex and expensive process—some companies are finding simpler ways to give them a second life.
This startup is using the used EV batteries to build EV charging stations in a win/win!

It's in storage. No great big deal in the scheme of things. Sometimes I think my ex-wife was the wisest by leaving it all to me to deal with while she went on to a fresh start.

Oh, I've heard that's a terrific book. I'm going to admit a sad fact now that I can't recall if I read or not. Another frustrating factor of not having access to my library at the moment.

I wish that we would join forces to wage a war on our worst enemies. Here's some of their stock market symbols.
Once we've made these companies go bankrupt than we could resume our fights amongst ourselves.

You'll see far-leftists that have fallen for fossil fuel disinformation say that Biden has expanded oil & gas drilling on federal lands whereas the exact opposite is true.
Meanwhile in related news, Donald Trump told Senate Republicans Thursday he would restart oil drilling in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, reversing a move by the Biden administration to cancel leases in the frozen wilderness.

If people are willing to assert that Ben-Gvir represents Israeli public opinion than it's fair to say that Hamas represents the Palestinian public opinion. I don't think that's a good road to go down.

Chrome’s century-long reign as that added bit of flash and glamour on new cars may be coming to an end. For least one major auto maker, environmental and serious health concerns are outweighing its aesthetic appeal.
Stellantis – the company that makes Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Fiat, and Maserati vehicles – among others, is committed to doing away with chrome on all its new models.

Chief Justice John Roberts' court's corruption could easily be related to the tens of millions of dollars that his spouse and children have received from corporations with cases before the SCOTUS.

Now along with telling me that I'm uneducated about my country's history as well as being responsible for it, you've decided to lecture a climate science on climate and energy policy.
I hope the Kremlin gives you a bonus for that.
