the US claims, in a loud voice, to favor free enterprise and competition. But the last ten years since electric vehicles have been available show that the opposite is true. Powerful special interests with money can thwart competition easily. A small group wins and all the rest of us are losers.

The labor market essentially stalled in 2025. US employers added just 181,000 jobs in all of last year, according to the latest BLS statistics, 69% fewer positions than the initial estimate of 584,000. @bencasselman.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/b...

Tomorrow, I'm talking with an expert about ***PJM***. That's the grid operator for 13 states + DC. Nothing's getting built, power prices are rising, consumers are angry, governors are angry, data centers are impatiently banging on the door ... it's a mess. Got questions about PJM?

Good morning with good news: Global battery storage passed the 100 GW level in 2025, reaching 104 GW/257 GWh! Why? Prices fell 31% in 2025 and are down 70% since 2022! Global average price was $117/kWh but are as low as $63/kWh in China. #energysky www.ess-news.com/2026/01/26/v...
