Would love for all media spending time on gas prices to give 3x the coverage to renewables. Interview local people with heat pumps, solar panels, battery storage, EVs.

There is so much misinformation and disinformation to dispel.

Sorry, he's saying it "weakens our warfighting capabilities" to ensure our soldiers don't get the flu all at once—taking them off the battlefield?

Make this make sense. It seems reality is the *opposite* of what he describes. Sounds to me like he just wants anti-vaxxer troops to flood our military.

The Israeli public overwhelmingly favors continued expansion unfortunately.

At this point in history, even if they didn’t have tapes they could make an AI video that would be impossible to tell the difference. We live in very scary times.

The ‘market’ is a bunch of billionaire hedge fund traders trying to goad less sophisticated investors into doing something stupid based on lies and half truths. The buy low, sell high trade has on the other side someone who sold the dip and bought the peak.

Absolutely.

Trump already thinks, “Jesus is weak on crime.” Which may actually be true…since his teachings are about grace, redemption and loving your enemies.

In a nutshell. 😊

MASSIVE 600 ton Liebherr mining excavator converted from diesel to electric Lloyds Metals and Energy have successfully converted a massive, 650-ton class Liebherr R 996 excavators from diesel power to electric.

If a 600-ton excavator can be converted from diesel to electric, pretty much anything can.

And thanks to Dementia Don and the oil crooks pulling his strings, the world is now - finally - scrambling to break decisively with fossil fuels.

How come having UBI would make us all lazy, but billionaires are supposedly hard-working and highly motivated?

Average new UK electric car price is now lower than petrol vehicles Autotrader says average EV cost is £785 cheaper, in an important milestone in the move away from fossil fuels

Forget "total cost of ownership." In the UK, the average EV is now cheaper than the average ICE vehicle, up front. Sticker cost.

And of course the savings just keep accumulating after that.

Some Dems did during the pandemic. Corporate Dems stopped them.

I would say instead of getting them off social media, which is probably close to impossible, we need to educate people so they can tell their elderly friends not to believe the slop either. We need all hands on deck. If we abandon the spaces where people are…

I have yet to find answers to this question.

Critical Atlantic current significantly more likely to collapse than thought Scientists say finding is ‘very concerning’ as collapse would be catastrophic for Europe, Africa and the Americas

Can we not just focus on the climate crisis.

The ‘beauty’ of AI microtargeting is that you don’t need to flood the space to everyone equally. Soon (already, probably) there will be a psychological profile of each of us that will be targeted. The question is only whether the fascists win this race (eg Grok) or hopefully less fascist directives.

It is absolutely nice, and I'm in no way minimizing it by saying that it also highlights just how our society is bonkers. That we have to claw and scrape to get a tax on

Second homes of the ultra wealthy
But only if 5+ million
And only if owned by carpetbaggers

Then we can grudgingly tax a little.

‘Wind turbines cause cancer’ is still out there and MAGAland is fine just letting that pass as knowledge…

Oil Price Shock Drives 140% Surge in China's EV Exports to Record High | OilPrice.com China's EV exports hit a record 349,000 units in March, up 140%, as $100 oil sparked a global rush toward electric vehicles.

Yes. www.cbc.ca/news/world/s...

Would be nice if these fascists running these superpowers realized that fact. One scary thing about self sufficiency through electrification and clean energy that I have never heard mentioned is- 'If fascists still keep being elected, will self sufficiency embolden them even more at some point?'

No, true, they are electrifying as fast as they can, but in the meantime, more Russian oil is probably preferable to war games. Europeans are still taking some Russian oil and gas during the Ukraine war. Truly crazy days. Compared to WWII, the World is a million times more interconnected.

Both. China has had ships going through from the start of the war for instance, but media reporting is really bad.

Haven't seen whether Russian oil can fill all of the shortfall, but it wouldn't surprise me if it could fill a lot.

Defense contractors and oil company executives need their fifth mansion. Have a heart…

Or they could just pay them…

Yes. It’s hard to imagine anything good coming out of the current idiocy, but this is it. Any semi-rational country will speed up their transition to electrification and renewables.

What Israel is doing to Lebanon is obscene, carpet bombing civilians, massacring people in their hundreds, total disregard for human life. Truly plumbing the depths of evil. The single greatest source of violence and instability in the region and it's not even close.
