Many seem unable to face reality on UK gas Do you A: Fantasise about North Sea licensing (yellow sliver in chart) + Texas-on-Thames, continue to rely on gas heat/power, then cry as gas imports surge >>2x (hatched area) Or B: Shift to clean energy & cut gas imports by two-thirds

Government efficiency is when every federal agency has to send a daily emergency email to its workers telling them to ignore another daily email from a different department trying to fire them without knowing what their jobs are.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

The US House of Representatives has drafted a budget plan that would order up to $4.5 trillion in tax cuts. But all the firings etc would only pay for half of it. The other half would have to be funded by more debt. - Bloomberg

I find this update from @freeourfeeds.com interesting as most of the donations seem to have come from individuals so far, with the largest single donation being 1.2k from a single dedicated person. Given that this is a systemic problem I wonder when/if we'll govt support for it. /1

Dear #energysky - my intuition is that this study is useful for America, and from the POV of dismantling the argument for building new gas in the USA, v exciting. I'm less clear on how applicable it is in other parts of the world tho - do grids in Europe run with less of the needed 'slack' ? /1

I finally got round to listening to this, and I am so glad I did. If you’ve been paying attention to geothermal, the progress is astounding, and Tim is candid about the economics in a way, that is not hype-y but still legit exciting if you can follow them. Made my day listening to it 💯

imho the play for renewables is to lean into the off-grid, libertarian, fuck-the-govt aspect of residential solar/wind like, the water heater in your SHTF bugout bunker is dependent on your local gas utility? absolutely statecucked for this reason I propose to you: 'conservative energy' 🔌💡

Incredibly disappointing to witness so many of the clean energy bros on here and irl immediately begin to advance AI uncritically at a time when it feels extremely obvious that tech does not advance in a political vacuum! New load growth is not a neutral good.

When we expanded funding for IRS the CBO calculated it would reduce deficits by nearly $300B over 10 years because it would begin to close the tax-cheat gap. The Trump WH is now choosing to reverse that and blow up the deficit. AND... www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
