@Gaurab 15 years ago a gas turbine generator that would partially power (takes a few) an LNG plant, ordered through GE and manufactured by Nuovo Pignone in Italy, would cost about $250M. Anyone know what they cost today?

You cannot buy a new gas turbine until 2030. Order books at GE, Siemens, and Mitsubishi stretch to 2029. Turbine prices have nearly tripled since 2019. Every AI data center needs power and every gas plant needs a turbine. And every turbine has one part that bottlenecks the entire industry: The blade. It has to survive in gas 500°C above the melting point of the metal it's made from and spin at up to 20,000 RPM under 10,000 g of centrifugal force. Each blade is grown as a single crystal of nickel superalloy, pulled through a vacuum furnace at 3 mm per minute. A set of blades costs $600,000 and takes 90 weeks to grow. The same metallurgy powers modern jet engines. Only 3 companies on Earth can build one. China spent $42 billion trying to catch up. They bought a Russian fighter engine, took it apart, and copied every part. Their copy ran 30 hours between overhauls versus 400 for the original. Modern Western engines run 4,000. You can reverse engineer the shape of a turbine blade. You cannot reverse engineer 60 years of metallurgy.

@TheCGATour 8-4 or 9-3, setting the table for the 2027 playoff team that has a heisman finalist

Oklahoma State fans… what’s your realistic football record prediction next season? I don’t want optimism, I want honesty. 😭 Drop it 👇

@DMichaelTripi @ramzpaul *YouGov survey conducted on Bluesky Social*

NEW: Majority of Americans now believe that Republicans pose a greater threat to free speech than Democrats according to YouGov data.

@LibertyCappy It aint Trump bro. If half a dozen corrupt RINO senators were to fall off the face of the earth tomorrow virtually all the major problems our country faces could be solved.

Trump has governed so poorly in his second term he is about to hand the entire country over to Democrats At this point you're blind if you're not seeing that Am I the only one that is extremely concerned we're cooked after 2028?

I mean does the shady shit only go one way? Why can’t he be “persuaded” by some maga blackops guys?

Sex with ghosts... A professor at Wayne State University in Detroit was giving a lecture on Paranormal Studies. To get a feel for his audience, he asks, "How many people here believe in ghosts?" About 90 students raise their hands. "Well, that's a good start. Out of those who believe in ghosts, do any of you think you have seen a ghost?" About 40 students raise their hands. "That's really good. I'm really glad you take this seriously. Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost?" About 15 students raise their hand. "Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?" Three students raise their hands. "That's fantastic. Now let me ask you one question further...Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?" Way in the back, Hamid raises his hand. The professor takes off his glasses and says, "Son, all the years I've been giving this lecture, no one has ever claimed to have made love to a ghost You've got to come up here and tell us about your experience." The Middle Eastern student replied with a nod and a grin, and began to make his way up to the podium. When he reached the front of the room, the professor asks, "So, Hamad, tell us what it's like to have sex with a ghost?" Hamad replied, "Shit, from way back there I thought you said Goats."

@FortyAcreVibes Too bad hes a degenerate like the rest of us. Hoping he tears it up in the west Texas Penal League

People were sleeping on Sorsby at Tech. I think his floor was a top 12-15 QB in the country with a top 5 upside.

Think Sorsby’s NIL agreement with Cinci included a $1M penalty for early departure that he reneged on/refused to pay, and basically Cinci decided, regardless of any penalties they might open themselves up to, they were going to go scorched earth on both Tech and Sorsby. Cant really blame em.

Cincinnati should be punished as well if they knew about the betting and let Sorsby play last season. When you introduce money into anything things get nasty. Really low move by Cincy to leak this information after he leaves. #Big12 🏈

@techntortillas @DeptofWar you are free to stage military operations out of Stillwater

We might need to take a page out of Iran’s playbook and cut off oil out of the Permian basin until Sorsby is granted eligibility

@RepNancyMace Need to do something to limit quotas for trawlers in Alaska. Its insane what is being allowed up there. Some of these boats can get 500,000 lbs of fish (and other sea life) per day but the small trawlers are everywhere too. Its grotesque and detrimental to crab, halibut, etc

American taxpayer dollars should support American fishermen, not foreign competitors. Our amendment to the Farm Bill excludes seafood not harvested, cultivated, and processed within the United States from being purchased with SNAP benefits. This protects domestic producers and ensures federal food assistance dollars stay in American hands. There is no reason federal dollars should be going to foreign seafood operations overseas, while our shrimpers and fishermen are being undercut.

@CaryKelly11 The founders didn’t envision the need to write an amendment covering “the right to mechanized escape” but this is akin to the right to bear arms.. if robots or tyrants take over the government we deserve the right to travel freely

This needs to go before the Supreme Court. It’s unlawful search and seizure. Maybe apply it to people who’ve had DUIs as a condition to resume driving but no constitutional minded citizen should agree to this.

@chiproytx For the same reason they can’t prohibit you from owning guns

Call me old fashioned… government shouldn’t mandate an off switch for your car #KillTheKillSwitch

@DisrespectedThe @taylorbilt Only for immigrants and people on welfare

Do you support kill switches in cars?

So whats the NCAA going to do here Texas Tech?

@Lewisrendell1 You pussies need to fight fire with fire.. take South Africa

Britain is a speck. Africa is a continent. Only a suicidal idiot pretends we can swallow it whole. Look again at that map. The blue outline isn’t some random African blob, it’s England, our entire island nation, dropped onto the vastness of Africa for scale. One tiny, rain-soaked, historically English rock placed against the Democratic Republic of Congo alone, a country nearly ten times our size. Africa itself could swallow the British Isles dozens of times over and barely notice. Yet the same people who lecture us about “compassion” and “diversity” insist this postage stamp of a homeland must fling open its doors to endless hordes from that continent and beyond. What utter, manipulative bollocks. Africa spans over 30 million square kilometres with 54 countries and 1.4 billion people and growing faster than anywhere on Earth. Nigeria alone will hit 400 million by 2050. Congo, Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea vast territories, immense resources, yet perpetual chaos, tribal slaughter, corruption, and fertility rates that mock any notion of sustainability. Their young men aren’t “fleeing” because there’s literally nowhere else on their gigantic continent; they’re coming here because Europe’s idiot elites turned welfare magnets into beacons for the world’s surplus population. England is not “nowhere else to go.” It is the only homeland our people have ever known. A finite island forged by the English, for the English. the descendants of those who tamed it, defended it, and built the greatest civilisation this planet has seen. We are already 67 million strong on these crowded shores, with native birth rates suppressed and our cities groaning under the weight of parallel societies, knife crime, grooming gangs, and collapsing services. Every additional boatload whether Pakistani, Nigerian, Somali, or Afghan whatever Tom dick and Harry, isn’t enrichment. It’s dilution. It’s dispossession. The intellectual reality, delivered without the usual cowardly euphemisms: this cannot work. It has never worked. You do not transplant tens of millions from low-trust, low-IQ, high-fertility, clan-based, often cousin-marrying cultures, many steeped in the supremacist ideology of Islam or worse into a high-trust, high-investment, native European society and expect harmony. You get what we already see in Newham, Tower Hamlets, Bradford, and Birmingham: electoral capture by foreign blocs, no-go areas, skyrocketing welfare dependency, and native English families priced out or driven out. Europe’s strange death, accelerated by a pathological altruism that mistakes weakness for virtue. We owe these people nothing. The natives of these isles built this country. We paid for it. We died for it. It belongs to us. Remigration on a serious, unapologetic scale is not “far-right extremism.” It is basic arithmetic and national survival. Prioritise the English people in their own homeland. Africa has space. The Middle East has space. Pakistan has space. Let them fix their own failures instead of exporting them to the one place that still works, for now. England is our only home. Tiny, precious, irreplaceable. We’ve had enough of pretending otherwise. The hordes keep coming only because traitorous elites allow it. Time to reclaim our birthright, and ensure that this sceptred isle remains English. Anything less is national suicide sold as kindness. The map doesn’t lie. Neither should we.

@RepKeithSelf @freedomcaucus Newsflash: they aren’t republicans!

Some of us in the House tried to defeat this Orwellian automobile kill-switch. 57 “Republicans” teamed up with 211 Democrats to stop us.

Of course Republican Rep. Jeff Hurd is one of them…. I’ve been tracking Jeff Hurd’s (CO-03) betrayal: 1. Deciding vote WITH the democrats NOT to censure Ilhan Omar. (H. Res 713) 2. Joined DEMOCRAT Senators to lock up 700,000 acres in the GORP Act. (HR 3421) 3. ONLY Republican to sign with DEMOCRATS and go against the Trump’s Administration to close NCAR in Boulder. The source of the most radical ‘climate justice’ crap this country has seen. 4. Voted with the democrats to betray Trump and extend Obamacare subsidies to big insurance. (HR 1834 Democrat Bill) 5. Voted with ALL the democrats to fund NED with $315 million, a left-wing globalist censorship org, USAID’s operation arm. (HR 7006) 6. Voted with ALL the democrats to fund rogue, activist Federal judges who violate the separation of powers. (HR 7006) 7. Votes with ALL democrats to fund abortions & gender mutilation on children! (HR 7148, Norman’s Part B Amendment). 8. Votes with ALL democrats to stop Trump’s tariffs against Canada. One of 6 Republicans. (H.J. Res 72). 9 Voted with democrat majority on the Orwellian vehicle kill-switch & constant surveillance. (HR 7148) April 2026 (9 strikes by JOINING democrats) 10 Sponsored a bill to stop Trump’s tariffs (HR 2665) 11 Won’t even admit if he VOTED for Trump. (But still has Trump’s endorsement) 12 Did NOT sign 3 different letters, joining the CO Republican Congressional delegation. (He prefers to join democrats) 13 He’s against ICE Agents protecting their identities (masks), so they nor their families get doxxed. (Per Durango Herald article Jan 26) he is a confidential voter (all his info is private & can’t be found). ‘Me but not thee’ 14 Voted to BLOCK the release of sexual misconduct reports & the taxpayer slush fund used to payoff the victims. (H.R. 1100) 15 Threw a tantrum because internal polling showed he would lose the primary, hit the nuclear option & threatened NOT to vote Trump’s agenda, if Trump did NOT pull Hope Scheppelman’s endorsement. Republicans only had +1 vote at the time. 15 Hates veterans (I know this personally) Hurd also: -Boycotted the OFFICIAL CD3 debate -Had ONE meet & greet in 2.5 years -Has no connection with the voters -Only sent out America For Prosperity mailers (postcards) paid for by dark money from the Koch Brothers

@realannapaulina Thank god now pls convince the boomers

Glyphosate is making Americans sick. The people that are the poorest are consuming the highest amounts. It is poison. Literally. The farm bill must be stopped until provisions protecting glyphosate are removed.

Drove from Oklahoma to Colorado today.. had rain, thunderstorms, tornado watches and finished up stuck behind a snow plow.. Spring baby!

@JackPosobiec @FischerKing64 Being good at math doesn’t mean you can’t be retarded

Tyler Robinson was a 4.0 student and top 1% ACT with a huge scholarship to USU Thomas Matthew Crooks had a 1530 SAT, perfect scores on AP exams
