Belgium, Germany, Denmark & Netherlands have seen their wholesale electricity prices skyrocket above $400/MWh since the start of the Republicans' latest war in the Middle East whereas Spain who is getting the majority of their electricity without burning fossil fuels hasn't prices go up to half that.

We'll see the same here between the states like California who has mostly decarbonized their electricity grid versus fossil foolish states like Texas who have not.

Global average cost of new gas plant jumped 16% in 2025, to a record high in BNEF's data set, before the Republicans' latest Middle Eastern war too!

Solar & battery is 44% cheaper now and will get even cheaper.

"By 2035, BNEF forecasts cost reductions of 30% in solar, 25% in battery storage, 23% in onshore wind and 20% in offshore wind."

It is not going to get any cheaper to buy methane I doubt.

It's sad that the notice about another shooting in Chicago happened at the same time that Marc Elias (npub1vur…9892) posted about the Republicans sending Texas National Guard into Chicago.

I'll point out here that it is important to note that Republicans made this major escalation in their ongoing attempt to start a Civil War happened on the day the Epstein Files were released.

In case you still have any questions about why Republicans and other rightwing political parties across the globe are desperately trying to stop the deployment of renewable energy, this well describes what they fear.

Renewable energy threatens the obscene profits that the fossil fuel industry has been making.

It's as simple as that. No need to complicate it or accept any other excuse the fossil fools will try to get people to believe.

In June 2015, the USA got 4.78% of their electricity from wind & solar.

In July 2025, the USA got 24.6% of their electricity from wind & solar which is pretty good progress.

I'll point out though that California went from 19.5% to 51.2% just to highlight our country's green energy leader.

In June 2019, the world got 35.2% of their electricity by burning coal.

In June 2019, the world got 24.2% of their electricity by burning methane.

In June 2025, the world got 31.4% of their electricity by burning coal.

In June 2025, the world got 21.7% of their electricity by burning methane.

We've made progress, but we need to make more progress faster.

Odd, Democrats won the special election in Iowa and broke Republicans' supermajority whereas all the unaffiliated leftists have been loudly telling me that Democrats are inept and out of touch.

Take particular note that the Iowans didn't elect a socialist. They voted for a Democrat in order to beat the Republican.

With all of the discussion of race now going on it's a good to remind everyone that the contemporary word race itself is modern; historically it was used in the sense of "nation, ethnic group" during the 16th to 19th centuries. Race acquired its modern meaning in the field of physical anthropology through scientific racism starting in the 19th century.

A 2026 Chevrolet Silverado EV just broke the record for the longest EV range on a single charge.

The Silverado EV Work Truck with the biggest available battery covered 1059.2 miles, more than twice the truck's 493-mile EPA-estimated range.

Chevy's team used typical hypermiling techniques, including taking it slow, really, really slow.
