@ctindale UAN-32 prices I'm seeing are already $100+ per ton higher than this time last year and rising

Pretty lame of Google to honor all these woke causes on their homepage and then totally leave off the day Caesar crossed the Rubicon.

@CollinRugg If we let the free markets work here that ambulance ride would cost the same as an Uber Black ride

Mother left with a ~$70,000 bill for a 15-minute trip to the emergency room for her 6-month-old son. Absolutely insane. CA woman Jessica Farwell says she was forced by doctors to put her son in a helicopter, which ended up costing $90,000. The insanity doesn't end there. After the 15-minute helicopter ride, which was deemed necessary by the doctors because the hospital Farwell went to didn't have a burn unit, she was forced to put her son in an ambulance to get him from the helipad to the hospital. This was a 0.3-mile ride that they charged $10,200 for. The son, Brody, was treated with second-degree burns and was discharged the next day. The entire ordeal came to over $100,000. "You look at the bills, and it's absolutely enraging. We got hit for a $600 waiting fee... there's a fee for it being a nighttime service... there's just every single fee you can think of!" the mother said to ABC 7. Farwell said she was promised by doctors that her insurance would cover the costs. They didn't initially. At first, her insurance wouldn't even cover half of the bill, meaning she would owe nearly $70,000. "I've called the hospital, ambulance company, my insurance numerous times. It's been three years and then they wouldn't listen to me or talk to me. They just kept giving me the runaround..." she said. It wasn't until Farwell went public with ABC 7 that the insurance company finally gave in and waived the fees. Video: ABC 7.

@ADoricko Water delivery in the west goes like this snowpack>reservoirs>conveyance>cites/farms/environment. Cloud seeding enables the snowpack to be larger and deliver more water throughout the year. That being said we need to pursuing all options including large scale desal

You actually cannot run a pipe from the ocean all the way to Dallas, let alone Salt Lake City, without spending billions to tens of billions of dollars on capex after eminent domaining tons of land Cloud seeding enables local water production

@elonmusk @SpaceX Who is John Galt?

The competent high speed rail companies from France and Japan found the US to be more politically dysfunctional than North Africa...

AI is getting pretty good.

@chamath At this point it is safe to say the modern environmentalist movement coupled with regulatory burden have caused more damage to western society than any event since ww2. Europe is cooked but we still have a chance, if we so choose.

I am increasingly convinced that this is the future state we need to build for: Whichever country becomes the first “electrostate” will be the country that has the requisite input abundance necessary for robotics, AGI, manufacturing and everything in between. This means doubling down on ALL forms of energy production TODAY. Solar, wind, Nat gas, coal, nuclear. Anything that slows us down will hamper our ability to win. Meanwhile, and as usual, China is methodically marching along and setting itself up to win because it can see the forest from the trees.

@elonmusk 💯 free market innovation will always move faster and farther than any gov/NGO

By enabling high-speed, low-latency and affordable Internet globally, Starlink will do more to educate and lift people out of poverty than any NGO ever

Death by regulation and litigation

Another example of our inability to build things in this day and age. The B.F. Sisk Dam, also known as San Luis Dam, is a major earth-filled dam located in Merced County, California. It forms the San Luis Reservoir, the largest off-stream reservoir in the United States, with a capacity of over 2 million acre-feet. Built between 1963 and 1967, the dam is a 382-foot-high, 3.5-mile-long earthfill embankment that stores water for the federal Central Valley Project (CVP) and the California State Water Project (SWP). Costs for the dam were $96 Million not adjusted for inflation. The dam is scheduled to be raised by 10-feet starting in 2028 with an estimated completion in 2032 providing an additional 130,000 acre-feet of storage with an estimated cost of $1 Billion. Looking at cost per acre foot comparison with CAPEX only: 1967- 2 million ACFT @ $96 million = ~$48/ACFT 2025- 130k ACFT @ $1 billion = ~$7,692/ACFT #ag #cawater #water

Why Congress's new budget should eliminate all IRA "tax credits" 1. They are subsidies 2. They promote inferior energy 3. They raise energy costs 4. They make energy unreliable 5. They increase our debt 6. They make our economy less productive 7. They don't lower CO2 emissions

@SawyerMerritt @Tesla We are living in an Ayn Rand novel @elonmusk

NEWS: New York lawmakers are targeting @Tesla’s ability to sell cars directly to consumers in the state, citing what they view as "massive issues" with Elon Musk. State Sen. Pat Fahy, has introduced legislation this week that would revoke the permits for Tesla’s five existing direct-sales locations by July 2026. If the bill passes, it would maintain a cap of five licenses for electric vehicle manufacturers statewide but allow other companies, like Rivian and Lucid, to compete for those permits, effectively cutting Tesla out of the state.

These people are a disgrace to the legacy of nature conservation and should be marginalized from any rational pragmatic discussion. I will be looking into legal options against officers of any NGO that so consistently abuses the legal system to impose such extreme costs on law abiding US taxpayers.

China built 1,794 ships in 2022. The US built 5. That's not a typo! How is this not the focus of our politics --to rebuild America's industrial base?

Meet America's new Secretary of Energy. "People who are driving policy, the media, politicians—they've never bothered to learn anything about climate change." Trump's Energy Secretary @ChrisAWright_ is Al Gore, John Kerry, and AOC's worst nightmare.

Photo of beautiful water flow that I just opened in California. Today, 1.6 billion gallons and, in 3 days, it will be 5.2 billion gallons. Everybody should be happy about this long fought Victory! I only wish they listened to me six years ago – There would have been no fire!
