12 ships x $2 million per = $24 million dollars.

To Iran.

The Strait was open -- and free -- until Feb 28th

Summary (via a friend): They closed the strait again b/c war that isn’t a war that we already won has a ceasefire that isn’t a ceasefire that was just violated, now strait that’s completely open that will also open up naturally is closed but that’s fine we don’t need it also open the f---in strait

No caption necessary.

I Love It, We need to be off of big oil, and time for more renewables in the USA, wind, solar ... etc.

Oil Companies Accused of Massive Accounting Fraud in New Mexico Suit claims ExxonMobil and others underreported debts by $194 million, calling it “a playbook” for how companies dump old wells and expenses on states.

Orphan wells, AROs and accounting fraud. Dull stuff but could actually help knock Big Oil down a peg:

Trump's Iran debacle may not be your classic oil grab. But if the US wasn't awash in oil and gas, would it be happening?

‘Fossil-fuel imperialism’: Trump’s hankering for Iranian oil runs deep Experts say the US believes it is entitled to resources it desires – a perspective president has supported for decades

STUNNING revelation: Trump wanted to seize Iran's oil as early as 1988, when he said he would be “harsh on Iran” if he ever became president.

“I’d do a number on Kharg Island. I’d go in and take it."

First-rate reporting, as usual, @dharna.bsky.social @us.theguardian.com #oilimperialism

1 out of every 50 people in the U.S. attended a No Kings protest

Consider this: In a nation with a population approaching 349 million, the participation of 8 million people means that more than one of every 50 U.S. residents joined a No Kings rally.

Exactly! People may not care about the next expiring species of magafauna, but they always give a shit about $$$.

Why would Trump and his cronies erase the scientific proof that pollution poses a threat to human life? Because if they can kill the underlying science, they can kill the regulations for our cars, power plants, and air quality that 𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘧𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 of Big Polluters, Big Industry and Big Oil.

Congratulations @txsharon.bsky.social and all the frontliners blocking expansion of the fossil fuel stranglehold on a healthy future for our kids, and on our Democracy.

March 30, 2026 Trump's Iran War Costs: $36.6 billion And your gas prices are... In Massachusetts: $3.81 In the US: $4.01 Trump pointing: "Trump at the pump"

It’s been 31 days since Trump started his illegal war with Iran.

Here’s what it’s costing Americans:

Wow. I’m mostly well-informed but I missed this one: Lord of War Hegseth prayed in the Pentagon for God to "break the teeth of the ungodly.” Jesus was a carpenter and now a dentist too! 🤪

100%! Billionaires pay lower federal income tax than middle-class Americans - then use that wealth to influence politicians for their own benefit.

I think I’m post-anger at this point, but it still makes my eyeball twitch when I think about how the richest on the planet squirrel away their spoils in island tax havens while the rest of us get a hefty third or so yanked from our earnings to pay for war and AI sex bots.

Best thing I have read today

Thanks Andy! I marched #nokings this Saturday with my 87-year old mom and 10-month old daughter. It felt great! But also pretty easy (though mom may beg to differ re the 15K steps!). Pledging not to pay war taxes is a bit thornier and will likely prove to be even more so if IRS decides to focus in.

"Not paying taxes is a scary thing to do. Nevertheless, many war tax resisters never face consequences," writes @claravondrich.bsky.social.

Australia’s generation Alpha faces $185k bill over lifetime without urgent action on climate crisis, report finds Global heating consistent with current projections would cost average millennial $130,000 and $165,000 for gen Z, according to Deloitte modelling

Report finds climate crisis would cost the average millennial $130k over the rest of their lives, increasing to $165k for gen Z. Gen Z lifetime income could be $165k lower by 2070 without further action. For gen Alpha, the bill is $185k a person by 2070.

Just dwell on the fact that all of this is for one stage of the data centres running one piece of software generating inaccurate information, abusive imagery and videos for one shrinking 4Chan-style far-right social media site. I think that gives you an idea of just how stunningly inefficient and bloated this class of software is. I worked with an analyst (who’d prefer to remain anonymous) to pull together an estimate of what all stages of these data centres will look like when they’re operational: 11.3 MTCO2-e of annual emissions across 86 fossil gas turbines. Just the operational ones are currently at 5.1 MTCO2-e. Compare that to what Tesla claims its fleet of products (cars, solar, batteries) avoids every year: 32 MTCO2-e in 2024, and 20 MTCO2-e in 2023 (the 2023 numbers have been challenged as significantly overstated due to biased assumptions. Analytics firm Greenly looked at them and found it was probably more like 10.2 to 13.4 MTCO2-e). The most generous way to put it: once completed, the climate damage caused by Musk’s chatbot will undo the climate benefits of 35% of the entire global fleet of Tesla products for the year 2024. The less-generous presentation is that the fossil fuelled data centres will more than undo more than all the climate benefits from all of Tesla’s products for 2023 (the only year we have independent estimates).

The total annual emissions from the gas-fired power stations *just to run Grok* will, once operational, be greater than the total global GHG footprint of all global streaming on Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+ (208bn hours) 🧐

RELEASE: Home Insurance Regulation Blunted by Revolving Door Activity and Insufficient Resources. New Tools Highlight Scale of Problems | Revolving Door Project It’s a lot easier to be an ambitious, pro-consumer and pro-climate regulator when you aren’t trying to preserve friendships with profit-maximizing insurance CEOs.

NEW: Dwindling home insurance availability and affordability is a clear manifestation of fossil fuel-driven climate chaos.

Today, the Revolving Door Project published two tools to help illuminate aspects of this worsening crisis.

Tornadoes en route to DC, MD, VA. Prediction: science will soon link outbreak of🌪️ in strange places to climate change. Tornadoes spin up from atmospheric instability & wind shear. Warmer wetter air drives instability. Wind shear more tricky. Nature will clarify. #GlobalWeirding

Remove these subsidies and the fossil fuel industry is bizarrely uneconomic. Make this industry pay its own carbon damage costs and it’s a clown show financially. Factor in the costs of the wars it needs to sustain its supply chains and this industry reveals itself to be insane.

Energy prices skyrocketing in the theater of war.

Volatility, unpredictability — these are the hallmarks of fossil fuels.

No one can monopolize the sun or the wind, nor need it be ferried thru dark waters blasted by missiles.

Renewables + battery storage — the modern-day peace sign.
