Ted Cruz is the #1 lifetime recipient of fossil fuel money in the entire U.S. senate, receiving over $1 million from the oil and gas industry in the 2024 cycle alone
Now he's proposed a bill to give the fossil fuel industry lifetime legal immunity from climate lawsuits

In 2025, renewables overtook coal in global electricity generation for the first time in over 100 years.
Renewables: 33.8%
Coal: 33.0%
Coal fell below a third of global electricity generation for the first time in history.
literally every day my wife or I go outside with our daughter people go out of their way to be friendly, offer aid or a kind word, no matter where we've traveled. it's nice to remember that hostility as default mode of interaction is not destiny, much as it benefits some to pretend it is
The trio of GB News, Facebook and the Daily Mail/Express is radicalising old, lonely people
Big moment for UK transport as the average price for an electric vehicle drops below that of a fossil fueled car for the first time plc.autotrader.co.uk/news-views/p...
After a review of coverage by nine legacy UK newspapers, J. Painter, S. Cocks, and S. Hayes find that media framing is playing a significant role in shaping political debate around Net Zero, often without balanced evidence. See their new paper below. www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1...
One of those bellends is so laughably miserable and ill-informed that he inspired a headline generator for people to play around with: stirring-fox-7e1fab.netlify.app
She comes across terribly in the book and I'm not at all surprised
Graph showing driving 100 miles is cheaper than any time since 1990
Anyone supporting the Lib Dem calls for fuel duty cuts seriously needs to stop and think
People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.
Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.
Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.
He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.
The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.
The French government has announced the measures of its plan to accelerate electrification:
- a ban on gas boilers in new houses from the end of 2026
- increased support for replacing old heating with heat pumps
- 100 regions will pilot comprehensive heat transition plans to phase out gas by 2030
Such a good chart.

Definitely the tweet you'd expect to see from the sane leader of a victorious super power. I was starting to doubt his claims of victory but this dispelled any doubts
South Korea's President: “South Korea must swiftly transition to renewable energy.”
“Relying on fossil energy is extremely dangerous for the future. We do not produce these resources ourselves, and chasing imports has led to the current crisis.”

We could've phased out fossil fuels the gradual, smart and painless way starting in the 1990s
The fossil fuel industry decided we have to do it the painful, unfair and cruel way instead. because that gave them an extra few decades of super-profits
Fifa has signed as an official World Cup prediction market partner a UAE-based crypto firm that got a Gibraltar gaming licence less than a week ago and does not have (and seems never to have had) a website. It has also never tweeted from its (one month old) account.
Chart of relative energy costs since 2010 shows a steady decline in wind and solar vs wild oscillations in the price of oil due to geopolitical events like the current war in Iran.
An economist friend passes along this graph of energy costs. He says, "Given this history, it is more than a little ironic that renewable energy is derided by fossil-fuel proponents as 'unreliable.'”
Both changes to food production AND food consumption are necessary to end deforestation and stabilize the climate
University of Oxford : maximising oil and gas extraction here would only save UK households up to £82 (€95) per year. A UK fully powered by renewable energy, would save households up to £441 (€510) a year on energy bills.

They were trying and failing to get people to subscribe at $20/mo and each 60 second video was costing the company $15-18 in costs to make.
That’s it, everybody, right there. That’s the Economics of AI. Visionary stuff.
The 'green' fuel market supplying Europe with used cooking oil, appears to be rife with fraud.
An investigation by SVT has uncovered that the world's largest producer of biofuel for aviation, Neste, is likely receiving virgin palm oil instead of recycled frying oil.
This is not some lefty, hippy, environmentalist point of view. It's what investors are saying. www.ft.com/content/4696...
For the OPs argument to be consistent, they'd have to also claim ashworth was pivotal in the signings Man United made whilst he was there and those signings were atrocious. Ironically it appears man united have had more success by just copying who Newcastle are after
'Three men were found guilty in 2025 of dumping 26,000 tonnes of waste at illegal sites (avoiding more than £2.7m of landfill tax). The clean-up is estimated to cost the taxpayer more than £3m. Between them, the men received fines of just £65,000. Only one...received a custodial sentence.'
GB News has turned into the Reform channel.
After a New World investigation found hundreds of breaches of the rules on accuracy and impartiality, Ofcom has failed to do its job and act.
We've seen what Fox News has done to politics in the US. We can't let it happen here.
It’s time to buy all the Chinese solar and EV Europe can.
The only real choice is for the developed world to build out solar on a scale previously unimaginable to do 10m bpd of demand destruction the good way. I get that is far beyond the uk’s power but it’s the position we should be advocating for early, instead of the EU tariffing Chinese solar.
