@KanekoaTheGreat Plenty of countries have governments achieving this. The US government, no, because it's controlled by corporations and billionaires.

Rep. Ro Khanna wants national health insurance, free college, and free trade schools. Quick question: name one industry government got involved in where prices dropped and quality went up. I'll wait.

@SenRickScott America's new Day of Remembrance is for the Gaza genocide.

Yesterday marked the start of the Days of Remembrance — America’s annual commemoration of the Holocaust. As we see a rise in antisemitism, we must stand firm in our commitment to #NeverAgain allow such atrocities and antisemitism to take place, EVER. I’m honored to serve on the @HolocaustMuseum Council and help the world remember the millions of lives lost, while supporting Jewish communities across our nation.

@DavidPrejean5 @KitKlarenberg Not about her being "bad". It's a heck of a connection. Makes one wonder if there's a system at work we can't see.

@KitKlarenberg So children should be punished for the sins of their parents? That's barbaric. She stands on her own actions and should be judged accordingly.

Well if it isn't the granddaughter of Ukrainian Nazi Constantine Dobrowolski! Y'know, the guy they called “The Butcher” for his involvement in the execution of Jews and Ukrainians on the Eastern Front?

@TonySeruga Great, now add the cost of endless wars to secure cheap oil, and the cost of shortened lives with more dementia for all the people living in urban areas. Rerun the numbers and get back to us Tony.

🚨 $2 Trillion Later, The Green Revolution Collapsed: How Chasing Weather Power Bankrupted the Grid and Cost the World $40 Trillion in Growth Between 2010 and 2026, governments and corporations poured roughly $2 trillion into solar, wind, and “net‑zero” programs under the promise of an imminent clean‑energy transition. What the public received instead was an illusion—a fragile grid, higher electricity prices, and negligible climate benefits. Energy remained just as carbon‑intensive, but far more expensive and unreliable. The fundamental error was confusing installed capacity with delivered power. Wind and solar often produce energy only 20 % of the time; fossil and nuclear plants generate 60‑90 % consistently. Billions went to weather‑dependent infrastructure that must still be backed up by coal and gas. Once backups, grid stabilization, and battery losses are factored in, true delivered costs for renewables reach $120–250 per MWh, double or triple those of gas, coal, or nuclear. When measured by physical reality rather than marketing slogans, that $2 trillion bought roughly the energy output of $400 billion in conventional power. It displaced almost no fossil fuel consumption and arguably reinforced it, since idling backup plants waste fuel. Worse, dependence on Chinese supply chains for solar panels and rare‑earth minerals eroded national energy independence and inflated emissions through hidden mining and shipping costs. If that same capital had been spent on modern nuclear or advanced natural‑gas infrastructure, the outcome would have been transformative. $2 trillion could have built about 285 GW of nuclear capacity (powering 250 million homes reliably for 70 years) or 1,650 GW of efficient gas plants (enough for 900 million homes for 30 years). Either path would have cut 70–80 gigatons of CO₂, reduced global electricity costs by half, and created genuine energy security. Instead, the current “green” trajectory delivered rising utility bills, rolling blackouts, and greater reliance on geopolitical adversaries. Global power costs rose roughly 60%, contributing to deindustrialization in Europe, worldwide inflation, and a cumulative $37–40 trillion loss in global GDP—about half of one year of global economic output. That’s the price of mistaking ideology for engineering. The lesson could not be clearer: physics determines prosperity. Dense, dispatchable energy such as nuclear or gas remains the backbone of civilization, and no amount of subsidies or messaging can legislate thermodynamics. The so‑called green transition did not decarbonize the planet—it impoverished it. The road to sustainability is not paved with solar subsidies but with unapologetic engineering and scientific honesty.

@shellenberger The reason we didn't develop nuclear is due to excess government regulation and liability insurance issues. It has nothing to do with solar and wind. When you begin like that it's hard to take the rest seriously. We need to improve and scale all forms of energy.

The Iran conflict is a reminder that we must accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels, say many in the media. Iran’s disruption of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz means the world is now losing 13 million barrels per day of oil and refined products, which is over 10% of global consumption. After QatarEnergy, the world’s largest LNG exporter, declared force majeure on all exports after Iranian drone strikes, Asian buyers scrambled to redirect orders to Australia. But then, last week, a cyclone slammed into Australia’s LNG corridor, forcing shutdowns at three of the country’s largest facilities. David Wallace-Wells in the New York Times noted, “No one has ever started a war over solar panels.” But nobody goes to war over solar panels for the same reason nobody goes to war over candles: they cannot power the things that economies, civilizations, and wars run on. A gallon of jet fuel contains 34 kilowatt-hours of energy in a package weighing six pounds. A lithium-ion battery storing the same energy weighs 250 pounds. That density gap is why every military on earth runs on liquid hydrocarbons, why every container ship crossing the Pacific burns bunker fuel, why every combine harvester in Iowa runs on diesel, and why every 747 landing at Heathrow runs on kerosene. The fact that nobody wages war over solar panels is evidence of their limitations, not superiority. Many respond by claiming that fossil fuels persist because of government subsidies and political favoritism. The IMF says global fossil fuel subsidies total $7 trillion. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres cited that number when he called for eliminating “fossil fuel subsidies that distort markets and lock us into the past.” But the $7 trillion figure is almost entirely fictional. The IMF’s own data show that only 18% of its subsidy estimate reflects actual government spending or undercharging for supply costs. The remaining 82% consists of what the IMF calls “implicit subsidies,” a theoretical construct that assigns a dollar value to the environmental and social costs of burning fossil fuels and then treats the failure to tax those costs as a subsidy. By that logic, any product whose price does not reflect the full externalized cost of its production is “subsidized.” The real problem is that the world overinvested in green energy and underinvested in oil and gas. Globally, the IEA’s World Energy Investment 2025 report documented that $2.2 trillion flowed to clean energy in 2025, exactly double the $1.1 trillion invested in oil, natural gas, and coal combined. In the U.S., federal tax expenditures for green energy end users in fiscal year 2025 alone totaled $57.9 billion. That figure exceeds the aggregate of all federal fossil fuel tax expenditures over the 31-year period from 1994 to 2025, totaling $50.8 billion. The oil and gas extraction sector generated $1.8 trillion in total U.S. revenues in 2024, meaning that the $3 billion in actual government support represents 0.17% of industry revenue, an economic rounding error. Renewable energy hardware is overwhelmingly manufactured in China, creating a supply chain dependency that is more precarious than the oil dependency it purports to replace. China’s share of global polysilicon, ingot, and wafer production has reached approximately 95%. China controls 91% of rare earth processing and 94% of the permanent magnet production essential for wind turbines. China dominates more than 75% of global solar cell and module manufacturing and is projected to control nearly 60% of all critical mineral refining by 2030. In 2025, Beijing weaponized this dominance, and bismuth prices surgednearly 500% overnight. Had the world spent the past decade building the oil, gas, LNG, pipeline, and fertilizer infrastructure that engineers designed and companies proposed, the Hormuz crisis would still be a serious geopolitical event, but it would not threaten to cause a recession. The Atlantic Coast Pipeline, a 600-mile natural gas line from West Virginia to North Carolina, saw its cost double from $4.5 billion to $8 billion during years of environmental litigation before Duke Energy and Dominion Energy cancelled it in July 2020. The Constitution Pipeline from Pennsylvania to New York died the same year. The PennEast Pipeline won its case at the United States Supreme Court in 2021 and still could not get built because New Jersey refused to issue state permits. In Canada, TransCanada abandoned the $15.7 billion Energy East pipeline in 2017 after the National Energy Board required an unprecedented review of upstream and downstream emissions... x.com/shellenberger/… Please subscribe now to support Public's award-winning investigative journalism, watch the full video, and read the rest of the article! x.com/shellenberger/…

We should have spent more on green energy, say the media. No, we shouldn't have. The $2 trillion we spent did nothing to prevent the energy crisis and may even have caused it.

Pew Research Center (March 23–29, 2026) Overall favorability toward Israel: 37% favorable (very or somewhat), 60% unfavorable (very or somewhat) This marks a significant change from 53% unfavorable in 2025 Up nearly 20 points from 42% unfavorable in 2022 The share saying “very unfavorable” toward Israel has nearly tripled since 2022 (now 28%).

@AnteConfido @joeroganhq That’s not true.

Bill Maher: "Tucker Carlson was like the old-school country-club Republican. Then he became the world’s oldest Groyper... having on Holocaust deniers and asking, 'Who do you think were the good guys in World War II?’”

@josh119872 @edibudimilic @iAnonPatriot @elonmusk No need, our government contradicts itself. The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2 paper still has not been retracted, even though U.S. intelligence components (FBI, DOE, CIA, WH) and the German BND have all concluded it leaked from the lab.

@AnteConfido @edibudimilic @iAnonPatriot @elonmusk And I'm sure you know better. Can you list your research that contradicts the NIH?

Elon Musk would’ve been banned on Twitter 1.0 for posting this. He’s EXACTLY correct here too.

@___F3ARL3SS___ @iAnonPatriot @elonmusk It's not over. Years later, vaccine mRNA and/or persistent spike protein in blood, tissues, or lymph nodes is detectable in many people.

Based. I won’t lie second vaccine made me really sick too. I remember going into the bathroom a week later with Covid to turn the shower full heat for vapor so I could breath. I don’t think it was purely virus mutation.. MRNA is a good technology but out of fear it was made way too strong and I won’t deny some people did die. Just not the majority. Math matters over fear of statistical death during pandemics.

@CernyLibor @iAnonPatriot Shadow banned, look it up.

@iAnonPatriot I can't believe that. Facebook was full of such statements back then, and so was the mainstream media here in the Czech Republic. It was contentious, and rejected, but not banned by any stretch.

@edibudimilic @iAnonPatriot @elonmusk The "educated" articles in the research journals were all full of shit, because like the NIH they were corrupted by pharma money. It's dangerous to have no theory of governance other than mindless worship of credentials.

Regardless if it’s true or not, it’s uneducated post by a very influential person and such posts should be muted to avoid doing damage. We have peer reviewed research papers for such statements. That’s not reducing freedom of speech, it’s protecting lives of easily gullible people.

@seamus_coughlin Boston's big dig at 14 billion seems like such a bargain.

If you were just complaining that a $4 billion dollar trip to space "could have fed the poor" but you're silent about the $126 billion dollar train to nowhere, it's time to stop pretending your politics have anything to do with feeding poor people

In response to those who keep attacking #JFK for not dealing with the Israeli relationship to President Kennedy, I’ve posted these responses I made a year ago in May of 2025. I repeat them here. 1) Milchan had no creative input at all. Warner Brothers put him into the project, because they were worried about the financial risk at $40 million. I hardly knew the man at that time, and I don’t remember him ever visiting the set. He was considered to be in the artistic doghouse because of his behavior with Leone and Scorsese projects. The first I heard of this nuclear bomb story was after the film was sent into the world. The Dimona story surfaced for me later in time. It’s become a theory for the assassination, but I have little belief in it. My researcher, Jim DiEugenio, has spent time with this and can throw more light on why he doubts it. JFK had plenty of vicious enemies on the home front. And the truth is, Israel became a much bigger problem for the U.S. since Netanyahu took power during the War on Terror. 2) In short, Milchan only put up money and was passive, and Warners never told me what to do on anything! Over the next two films I made with Milchan, I got to know him better, but we never once discussed his background, as most of the time, I was struggling with him to fulfill his contract with me. On the money front, he was a nightmare, and I think if you talk to enough filmmakers who worked with him at that stage of his career, they will agree. We broke apart in ugly recriminations over my film, “Nixon.” [Milchan never formally took part in producing “Nixon,” and that’s a story for a longer biography.] Nothing has changed. I have no motive to protect #Israel, which I consider an aggressor country. I wholly condemn #Netanyahu and President #Trump for their uncivilized attacks on a great country and culture, as well as their butchery of language in demeaning long-held opposition to their ideas. Remember that it was the U.S. that undermined the concept of democracy for the Iranians in 1953 when they financed the coup against duly elected Prime Minister Mosaddegh. Nor have they let up since, supporting the corrupt Shah and destroying any moderate opposition. Trump is making a huge mistake. Centuries ago, Marcus Crassus, one of the richest Romans of his time and one of the Triumvirate that ruled the Republic alongside Julius Caesar and Gnaeus Pompey, led seven Roman legions into Parthia (#Iran, Iraq, parts of Turkey) and, at the battle of Carrhae in 53 B.C., lost almost 40,000 men – as well as his head. Trump, who considers himself a great businessman and now warrior, may soon learn the same lesson from history.

@JohnnyCantrell @joeroganhq We've made progress. RFKJ deserves credit on that.

@AnteConfido @Insko4liberty @joeroganhq It's not grid scaled bc it isn't nearly productive enough to meet demands.

Oh you want to know more! Gasoline is volatile and evaporates into a toxic and explosive gas. Your gas station has underground tanks because otherwise they might explode. They vent the tanks directly into the air, no stack, no regulation. Carcinogens like benzene are wafting around every gas station on the planet. Its especially bad when the tank is near empty and the truck comes to refill it. Stay away Danny, you don’t want to breath that! Even modern gas stations are a dangerous place - kktv.com/2026/03/20/2-h…
