You cannot buy a new gas turbine until 2030. Order books at GE, Siemens, and Mitsubishi stretch to 2029. Turbine prices have nearly tripled since 2019. Every AI data center needs power and every gas plant needs a turbine. And every turbine has one part that bottlenecks the entire industry: The blade. It has to survive in gas 500°C above the melting point of the metal it's made from and spin at up to 20,000 RPM under 10,000 g of centrifugal force. Each blade is grown as a single crystal of nickel superalloy, pulled through a vacuum furnace at 3 mm per minute. A set of blades costs $600,000 and takes 90 weeks to grow. The same metallurgy powers modern jet engines. Only 3 companies on Earth can build one. China spent $42 billion trying to catch up. They bought a Russian fighter engine, took it apart, and copied every part. Their copy ran 30 hours between overhauls versus 400 for the original. Modern Western engines run 4,000. You can reverse engineer the shape of a turbine blade. You cannot reverse engineer 60 years of metallurgy.

Switzerland is turning the unused space between train tracks into solar power plants. A startup called Sun-Ways is piloting removable solar panels that roll out like a carpet between the rails. No new land needed, easy to maintain, and they feed clean energy straight into the grid. If the US scaled something similar across its massive rail network, it could generate enough clean, homegrown electricity to power millions of homes. This is the kind of smart, low-impact idea that gets more clean energy online without paving over more fields or wild spaces. Innovations like this show we can produce the power we need while leaving more room for wildlife and nature. Pretty cool engineering with a big upside if you ask me.

Minneapolis women banded together to use Tinder to honeytrap ICE agents into giving information about their hotels, raids, videos of raids, future raids, confessions of bad acts, strategies, and so on. Those men couldn’t wait to betray their team to impress a woman. A failed dem candidate, Will Stancil, stupidly gave away the operation to try to take credit for organizing it, probably to impress a woman. The honey trappers took the compiled Tinder chats and sent them to the ICE agent's spouses.

Breaking: The son of a Norwegian diplomat who is under investigation for financial crimes related to Jeffrey Epstein has died by suicide, according to Norwegian media reports. The diplomat, Terje Rod-Larsen and his wife, Mona Juul, a former ambassador, are both under investigation for possible corruption.

There’s a good chance that Justice John Roberts could be disbarred because a formal disbarment complaint has been filed at the D.C Bar against him for numerous ethical & financial conflicts & conduct!

Anyone who is wondering why DeSantis is waiting to sign the new Florida map it is because he is scared he will lose in court. I beat Republicans before when they broke the state constitution by partisan redistricting and I will do it again. Here are my receipts.

On a recorded phone call in 2021, UnitedHealthcare employee Dave Opperman and nurse Victoria Kavanaugh discussed the decision to deny coverage for Christopher McNaughton's ulcerative colitis treatment. Kavanaugh shared the news that a contracted doctor had concluded the treatment was "not medically necessary." Opperman laughed. "I knew that was coming," he said. When Kavanaugh mentioned that McNaughton's family might appeal, Opperman was direct: "We're still gonna say no." McNaughton had spent years finding a treatment that worked. A Mayo Clinic specialist - one of the top gastroenterologists in the country - had crafted a specific high-dose combination of two biologic drugs that brought his severe, crippling disease into remission after he had failed every other treatment available. His bills were running nearly $2 million a year. United had flagged him as a "high dollar account." When an outside doctor named Nitin Kumar reviewed the case and concluded that McNaughton's treatment was not only necessary but that reducing his doses risked cancer, hospitalization, and toxic megacolon, Kavanaugh moved to suppress the report and send the case back to the doctor who had already denied it. "I didn't because it shouldn't have existed," she said in deposition. The United medical director who reviewed the case had not practiced medicine since the early 1990s. He did approximately a hundred reviews a week. He said he copied and pasted the nurse's recommendation and typed "agree." Asked whether he gave any weight to the treating doctor's opinion, he replied: "Yeah" - meaning no. United reported $20.1 billion in profit that year.

Donald Trump Jr and Lara Trump hold a 30% stake in Salem Media, which is registered as a foreign agent for Israel Eric Trump’s company has merged with an Israeli drone firm and Don Jr is a top backer The Trump family business empire has effectively merged with Israel

@MoSenDems And not just sales taxes? But also other types of taxes? But also permits & fees? Didn’t the Missouri Supreme Court just determine that unless something is specifically prohibited in our Constitution anything moleg does is legally constitutional? Horrible deliberate consequences

Answer: YES (that’s the whole point).

99 years is the amount of prison time a doctor in Alabama will receive if they perform an abortion. 6 months is the amount of prison time you will receive if you rape an unconscious girl next to a dumpster. Wake up.

These are all women mostly mothers to small children being transported by ICE in full body shackles which are hard to see to a detention camp.These women were randomly snatched up and most likely have no criminal history and some are American citizens!

@TheTNHoller Irrational trump blame game - ludicrous

Each post more embarrassing than the last

While the Trump Administration tears down clean energy in favor of fossil fuels, California is activating a pilot project for the nation’s first solar-covered canal. We're investing in new technologies to find more solutions for lowering costs, saving water, and preparing for a hotter, drier future.

Zeldin might play dumb when it comes to elementary math, but he’s raising your costs on purpose.

The Dred Scott decision was widely considered the worst in Supreme Court history. Add today's to the list.

Sheer insanity. Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Meta collectively are spending more money than the Manhattan Project *every single month*. More than 12x the Manhattan Project every year. And what they have got to show for it? None are making major profits on AI; none has a technical moat; a massive price war is inevitable. And few of their customers are seeing major returns on investment. Greatest capital misallocation in history.

a double spike day I don't believe in my ~20 years I've ever seen this- $4.79, then updated to $4.99. unprecedented. what's even more wild that the market has completely gone insane is that all 3 markets are the SAME- MI/IN/OH

If Republican think we are done fighting for voting rights, fair districts and free and fair elections they are wrong. They have counted us out before only to watch us beat them in court. We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.

When is Trump going to wake up to the fact that Putin backs Iran and wants to strengthen a regime that’s openly hostile to the U.S? My piece from the (recent) archive: michaelmcfaul.substack.com/p/putin-is-hel…
