I thought this might be an exaggeration, but no! Despite all the talk of technology neutrality, it appears the permitting reform proposal would weaponize claims for federal damages — but in practice, only for fossil fuels.

The Senate permitting bill would be a gift to data centers and their massive gas buildout. It would weaken accountability + give developers more power at communities’ expense. Congress should reject the bill. Read more: oilchange.org/blogs/senate...

Sen. Bernie Sanders highlighted a new analysis showing that the wealthiest 1% has extracted $79 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans since 1975. In 2023 alone, $3.9 trillion was redirected upward—enough to provide every U.S. worker with a $32,000 raise.

President Jimmy Carter was a servant leader in the best possible way. A model of decency and humanity. A leader in word and deed. A champion for human rights whose legacy extended long past his presidency to his entire life - redefining what post-presidential service could achieve. A very good man.

I have zero patience for people complaining about subsidies for renewables. They are DWARFED by those for fossil fuels, per IMF below. And I categorically disagree with those wanting to claim implicit subsidies aren’t subsidies. That’s utter nonsense. ~$42 trillion in FF subsidies 2025-2030.
