@BrianRoemmele Don't drop your controller!

When I say garage builders are not waiting to ask permission or “go to market” to please the VC class, I am not theorizing. This farmer had a need to get to places at his farm to he built it in his garage. Like all inventions it don’t have to pass any test but his own.

@robbertleusink According to Gemini they are 4th.

The Netherlands has 17 million people It exports more food than any country on earth except the United States A nation smaller than West Virginia feeds the world Not because of land: The Dutch have almost none Because of water management, greenhouse engineering, and seed science built over 400 years They did not inherit the land, but built it Then they fed the world with it

@jarvis_best Don't put California in charge of building it.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could build this entire high speed rail network—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

@jonburkeUK How about the build energy and emissions debt for all the batteries needed to back them up?

A two-megawatt turbine pays back its build energy and emissions in 6-12 months, then runs clean for the next 25+ years. The fossil fuel industry doesn’t own the sun and the air. That’s why they’ve spent billions electing puppets to attack and delay the renewable revolution.

@NayteDarko @OneBadDude_ And the top will not hold up to weather because it gets way too much water.

@OneBadDude_ The bottom of those slabs are still powder. It’s 100% cracking soon.

Wait, I’m no expert, but does this actually work 🤯

@MarioNawfal When and if the sun is shining.

🇨🇳 China just switched on the world's largest open-sea solar farm. 1 GW of power off the coast of Shandong, enough electricity for 2.67 million people a year.

@GovMikeDeWine Says the most corrupt Ohio Governor in my lifetime. Tell me he is not lining his pockets by letting his Ohio EPA run roughshod over Ohio's communities. Disgraceful.

April is Fraud Prevention Month. Since day 1, my administration has worked hard to prevent fraud and abuse in state government programs. We will continue to innovate and put safeguards in place to ensure that taxpayer dollars are not misused.

~and run your credit card balance to numbers you'll never be able to pay.

@HaveMyPopcorn @Psihogios1 @DesireeAmerica4 It may not be a lot, but it's way more control than we have over the state govt.

@Psihogios1 @jimbuilds @DesireeAmerica4 Exactly what kind of control do you think you have over local government? Go tell your local school you don't want them spending multi-million$ on a new stadium and to focus on STEM and see how far it gets you.

The Ohio government is officially panicking over a massive grassroots movement to completely abolish property taxes. ​Governor Mike DeWine just warned that eliminating the tax would devastate local schools and libraries, threatening that the state would have to jack up the sales tax to 20% just to cover the gap. ​But Ohio homeowners are fighting back with one simple reality: If you can lose your fully paid-off house for not paying the government, you don't actually own it, you are just renting it. ​The state already collects billions in income and regular sales taxes. Instead of threatening us with 20% sales tax rates, the government needs to figure out how to balance its own budget without holding our homes hostage.

@joseph_win83376 @CaseyPutschOhio Could you please point me to one?

@jimbuilds @CaseyPutschOhio He's made hundreds of statements about this very issue.

Casey Putsch 🇺🇸 - Facilitate deportations - Limit H1B use - Stop Somali and Uzbek fraud - Block data center leeching - Ban Blackstone from buying homes - Destroy child trafficking - Restore right to repair - Build beautiful buildings - End ongoing DEI practices - End private property tax - Real investigations into Wexner & Co. VS Vivek Ramaswamy 🇮🇳 - Lower prices - Bigger paychecks Which vision actually protects and delivers for Ohio - Real policy or the typical vague promises?

@haugejostein How much solar are they building on prime farmland?

Invariably, when I post about China’s remarkable progress in clean energy, some people reply that China’s emissions are huge and driven by coal-fired power. That’s true. But here’s why — even taking that into account — China deserves recognition as a genuine climate champion. For the first time in modern history, China’s CO2 emissions have been flat or falling for almost two full years *during* a period of rapid growth in energy demand. China's emissions are turning a corner. According to Carbon Brief, this milestone occurred because rapid growth in clean energy production has begun to outpace growth in total energy consumption. China’s clean energy boom is also helping global decarbonisation efforts. The New York Times recently reported that China’s clean energy exports totalled $143 billion in 2024 — about 10 times higher than those of the US. Meanwhile, US fossil fuel exports totalled $174 billion that year, roughly 35 times higher than China’s. The clean energy revolution is unquestionably being driven by China.

@volcaholic1 And how much of it is being built on prime farm land?

China is blowing the world away on clean energy. As of 2025, it has 448 GW of wind and solar under construction, more than any other country and roughly half of the global capacity currently being built.

@NRegrets80 @DispatchAlerts The lottery and casino money was a state program. See what I mean about the state not prioritizing your local concerns?

@jimbuilds @DispatchAlerts Every county allocates 60-67% of YOUR property tax dollars to education. The teachers union is partly to blame. Those taxes pay SCHOOL BOND DEBT and are not used on the students. It’s a failed system, What happened to lottery $ and casino $ that were supposed to fund education?

Ramaswamy says he wants to roll back, not eliminate, property taxes dispatch.com/story/news/pol…

@NRegrets80 @DispatchAlerts I don't like paying taxes either but, with the current property tax system, the local voters get to decide how much will be spent on schools. If the system is eliminated then the govt in Columbus will decide instead.

@DispatchAlerts There has been ZERO action on property taxes in 20 years. Citizens are DONE. Sign the petition and WE will decide in November 2026. Done waiting for Ohio govt to solve anything. Here’s our prop tax dollars at work 🤨 AxOhTax.com

@TB1Kinobe He put a nail where it isn't supposed to be, directly where the shingles butt together, then covered the nail head with tar. So no, not installed correctly.

Did he install the shingles correctly?

@GigaBeers Translation: I need more of your money to give away so people think I'm wonderful.

Ask Bernie

@latimeralder They already are junk!

It is 3 days now since 'wind power' managed to make even 20% of our electricity We might as well have switched all the windmills off. So why should we bother to switch them all back on again? Just junk them We don't need them at all.

@JillBelch Yes, and try reading things about renewables that are written by people who don't profit if you believe their story.

Where are all these folk who don’t understand about renewables coming from? Wave, Thermal, battery storage plus wind & solar. They need to try reading about it. Scotland today. 100% wind. Wind doesn’t stop blowing in the North Sea.

So far it hasn't had to pay its own way. Subsidies end for new projects started after April 26. Anything built, or started to be built, before then will get the old subsidies. At that point the out of work developers will all descend on DC begging and predicting the world will end if the subsidies are not reinstated.

@ErikSolheim He didnt want to stop it, just stop paying for it. He is proved right. Its perfectly capable of paying its own way.

Trump tried to stop solar and wind in the US 🇺🇸. He failed spectacularly. 99,2% of new net capacity in America in 2026 is expected to be renewables, with battery capacity. If this happens solar, wind, hydro and other renewables will be equal to natural gas as the biggest source of electricity in the US. Far ahead of coal or any other source. Solar capacity grew 34% last year. Battery storage added 50%. Coal production declined substantially. All renewables combined are now 26% of US electricity. And what state is leading the charge?? Texas - a deep Republican state. So much for Trump. He can speak and act against renewables. He can not uninvent solar panels or wind blades. He can not stop the American people`s desire for clean power. lnkd.in/dhPbmkBi
