An epidemic of suspicious trading has emerged around Trump's most consequential decisions — each time, just minutes or hours before he rattles global markets. It's precisely the kind of alleged corruption Trump built his political career railing against. axios.com/2026/03/25/tru…

a freeway costs $50-200 million per mile to build and we don't ask it to turn a profit. a train line proposes the same price tag and suddenly it needs to be self-funding by 2031. the infrastructure we subsidize reveals what we value and we have chosen the car every single time

$1.5 BILLION. Let me say it again - a $1.5 BILLION BET. Bigger than any futures purchases made at the time. 5 minutes before Trump's post. Who was it? Trump? A family member? A White House staffer? This is corruption. Mind blowing corruption.

BREAKING: Just five minutes before Trump's announcement to halt the attacks on Iran, massive trades reportedly hit the market. In one move, $1.5 billion in S&P 500 (ES) futures was bought while $192 million in oil (CL) futures was sold. These orders were 4–6x larger than anything else at the time. The trader seemingly made huge gains. Unusual.

90% of everything added to the US grid last year was clean energy.⁣ ⁣ Most Americans don't know this.⁣ ⁣ We're not "alternative energy" anymore. We're dominant energy.⁣ ⁣ That's what @EnergyEmpirePod is here for 🗽🔌

This is about as sick as it gets. Trump Administration to Pay $1 Billion to Energy Giant to Cancel Wind Farms. In exchange, the French company TotalEnergies would invest in oil and natural gas projects in Texas and elsewhere. nytimes.com/2026/03/23/cli…

Our global climate is in a state of emergency. The latest @WMO report clearly shows that every key climate indicator is flashing red. The way ahead must be grounded in science, common sense & the courage to take urgent #ClimateAction. wmo.int/news/media-cen…

Gas only sets Spain's electricity price 15% of the time. When gas costs spike it barely registers on the electricity bill. In countries like Italy and the UK gas sets the price 90% of the time. The difference is enormous. I spoke to @politico about this. politico.eu/article/spain-…

BREAKING: The blackout in Spain and Portugal in April 2025 did NOT happen because of renewables. The final ENTSO-E report on last year's Iberian blackout is out — and it's essential reading for anyone working on the energy transition. entsoe.eu/news/2026/03/2…

The final report on the Iberia Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) blackout is out. A lot of people will be blaming renewables and talk about inertia. But the cause was bad voltage control and that's surprisingly easy to fix. Let me explain. #Publications_&_Documents" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">entsoe.eu/publications/b…

Absolute environmental disaster exposed in Venezuela. Unmaintained, broken oil infrastructure is leaking massive amounts of methane—a greenhouse gas 80x more powerful than CO2—directly into the atmosphere. It is the highest emitting oil on Earth.

One has to be out of their mind to buy a petrol car - or bus, or scooter, or heater - today if they're even remotely cognizant of the reality around them ➡️New @EmberClimate report shows 75% of the world is currently held hostage by fossil fuel imports, bleeding $1.7 trillion in 2024 alone THREAD
