“It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” Abraham Lincoln Gettysburg November 19, 1863 Happy Memorial Day!

Every Saturday morning I have breakfast with a bunch of old farmers. Discussion today was population decline and replacement rate in the US. They've come up with a very simple yet elegant solution to increase birth rates. Bring back bench seats in pickup trucks.

I think @epa_fotouhi has done more to unshackle domestic energy production than almost anyone in DC. American industry is much stronger because people like him put their professional lives on hold to come and fix things. He is a great American and deserves a follow.
David Fotouhi@epa_fotouhi

Since President Trump entered office, the Trump EPA has proven that America can protect the environment while also fostering economic growth—an approach the previous administration rejected. Thank you to @US_OGA for inviting me yesterday to discuss how EPA’s recent actions follow the law, advance cooperative federalism, and support US energy dominance.

Bullshit. AI data center are not an illusion. They are real and they are causing harm to the communities where they are built. They are not jobs creators. They are being built to serve a mass surveillance state. Fuck you for this post. You should focus on your goals and stay in your lane.

The answer is simple. Time is short so action must be taken quickly 1- Hold a series of high level summits - preferably in nice locations with good weather. Invite preferred media and NGOs to participate. 2- Declare an existential emergency and commit to take concrete actions quickly - which after extensive discussion with the experts chosen by us, declare that we anticipate to gain consensus in our next meeting. 3- Once consensus has been reached by our hand-picked experts, provide taxpayer funding to those experts to produce studies that conclude what we have told them to conclude and threaten to put anyone who disagrees in reeducation camps. 4- Restructure government funding programs to fund the NGOs and celebrities to warn us of the impending crisis. 5- Watch as someone else takes action to save the five people. 5- Blame Trump and Big Oil for redirecting the Trolley against the recommendations of the experts.

A trolley is about to hit 5 people laying on the track You can redirect the car, but the other track has not yet reached regulatory approval or completed its 1 year environmental testing period, so operating a train car on it is a violation of transit regulations What do you do?

Hmmmm. Democrat front-runner Deb Haaland currently leads 52-30% for the nomination for NM Governor. She served as Interior Secretary under Biden and froze all oil and gas development on Fed lands - on and offshore. 2019: “I am wholeheartedly against fracking and drilling on public lands.” 2018 campaign: “Keep fossil fuels in the ground. I pledge to vote against all new fossil fuel infrastructure.” Yet NM gets 40% of its state budget from oil & gas. Awkward.....

🚨PRIMER: Why the People of New Mexico Win Big From This Week's Record Federal Lease Sale The federal oil and gas lease sale conducted on Wednesday by the Bureau of Land Management in the Delaware Basin of southeastern New Mexico fetched an all-time record $4 billion in lease bonus payments. That is more than 4 times the previous record of $972 million. Some key points: 🔳Devon Energy was the biggest bidder with $2.6 billion in bonus investments. 🔳Even without Devon's contribution, the sale would have exceeded the previous high by 50%. 🔳This indicates that more companies are prepared to join Diamondback Energy in increasing their drilling budgets to take advantage of current high oil prices. Little known facts: 🔳The state government receives a 50% share of proceeds from such sales of leases in their borders. 🔳That means New Mexico's state government will benefit from a whopping $2 billion payment out of this lease sale. 🔳New Mexico's total state budget for FY 2026: $10.8 billion. 🔳This single lease sale = 19% of the total state budget. 🔳The vast majority of those funds will go to improvements in the state's healthcare and education systems. But it gets better: 🔳States also receive a 50% share of future federal royalty payments on oil and gas production from these leases. 🔳The Delaware Basin is the most prolific shale play in the United States with the highest oil production per well. 🔳Most of these wells will produce oil and associated natural gas for 30 years or more. 🔳That means that this single lease sale will net the state billions more in additional revenues - likely tens of billions in fact - in the years to come. Bottom line: "Big Oil" is not the main beneficiary from this record lease sale. Nor is the federal government. The people of New Mexico are.

@US_OGA That’s incredibly untrue chemistry. There’s 1 part hygrogen to 8 parts oxygen in water, by mass. That’s pretty retarded.

If you only learn one thing today, today you should learn..... The Panic Industry has traded in climate change as old and moldy. AI / Data Centers is their new trophy wife.
⚡️David Blackmon⚡️@EnergyAbsurdity

🚨WSJ: The Panic Industry’s New Target – AI and Data Centers Barton Swaim nails it: A generation drilled with climate doom is now having the same script flipped on AI and data centers. Eric Schmidt tells Arizona grads not to fear the future - machines, jobs, climate - but the fear he decries was bankrolled by outfits like his own Schmidt Family Foundation’s 11th Hour Project. Key points: •Hypocrisy on steroids: For 20+ years, progressive billionaires (Schmidt, Gates, etc.) poured hundreds of millions into climate-panic groups, Al Gore screenings, and anti-fossil fuel activism. Now those same activists, armed with the same talking points and funding networks, are blocking data centers needed for AI. •Busybody Economy: Nonprofits built to chase “future calamities” never declare victory. They pivot to new targets. Climate apocalypse → AI will destroy jobs/livelihoods + data centers = environmental ruin. •Local fallout: Too many protesters at county meetings aren’t organic thinkers -they’re echoing conflict group talking points. Same playbook as fracking bans and pipeline blocks. •Reality check: AI needs massive power. Opposing reliable energy + data centers while demanding AI benefits is incoherent. The panic machine profits from fear, not solutions. Tech titans helped create this fear culture, then act surprised when it bites their own projects. Time to reject manufactured panics and embrace abundance: energy, innovation, growth. The “panic industry” thrives on perpetual crisis. Don’t buy the sequel. #AI #Datacenters #panicindustry #NGOs

🚨Every Texan needs to get out and vote this week or next Tuesday in the state's primary elections. One of the key races on the ballot is for the Texas Railroad Commission, the chief regulatory body over the state's crown jewel asset, its' oil and gas industry. Jim Wright, a good man who has brought innovative ideas to the Commission during his first term in office, is running for re-election and deserves your vote in the Republican primary. If you care about the state's ability to maintain a healthy industry which has blessed this state's government with a massive budget surplus for a decade now and funds the largest Rainy Day Fund in the nation, @JimWright4Texas is your only real choice. @GregAbbott_TX @txrrc #RairoadCommission
Jim Wright@JimWright4Texas

ICYMI: @GregAbbott_TX says @bofrench would “wreck” Texas oil and gas if elected to the Railroad Commission. Abbott on Tuesday slammed GOP Railroad Commission candidate Bo French, saying he “doesn’t know anything about oil and gas.” He cast the race for the often-overlooked statewide office as existential for the state economy, especially amid soaring gas prices during the ongoing war with Iran. The commission oversees the oil and gas industry. “Bo French’s agenda would wreck the miracle that we have in producing more oil and gas than ever before — by the way, more oil and gas than what Iran produces,” Abbott said. At a campaign stop, Abbott told a crowd of Republicans, “We need @JimWright4Texas to be reelected to continue to lead that way.”

The May 2023 BLM New Mexico lease sale was the highest grossing one during the Biden administration. It brought in $78,844,369 in total receipts. They offered 45 parcels totaling 10,123 acres and sold 37 parcels covering 8,596.25 acres. The difference now vs then was the Biden administration intentionally offered lower value, lower potential acreage for lease. Just barely enough to meet the letter of the law which generated marginal interest. The lack of participation was then used to argue that there was a lack interest from industry to justify offering even less acres next time. It became a self-fulfilling prophecy until Trump 2.0 when potential was unleashed again. The more you know....

We spoke too soon.... $4 Billion+ threshold crossed on the NM lease sale today. You know what that shows? It shows industry is willing to put money on the table to work with an Administration who takes robust energy production seriously. Hats off to @SecretaryBurgum and BLM for reigniting a a great working partnership. The future is bright.

@US_OGA @SecretaryBurgum Don't use BLM and reigniting in the same sentence or people are going to think mostly peaceful protests are coming back.
