Or just build data centers that produce a surplus of renewable energy, don't drain the public water supply and don't pollute the environment. They have more than enough capital to build these responsibly and set a new standard for the industry. They just are choosing not to.

I’m watching a documentary on World War II. The Nazi higher-ups were still praising Hitler’s genius while the Russians were only 12 miles from the city center of Berlin. Just like the Republicans still loyal to Trump as the party goes under.

Todd Blanche: “I am not sure of the uproar of having a Border Patrol or ICE agent at a polling location. What's the risk?” Uhm, maybe because it’s illegal? Federal statute 18 U.S.C. § 592 prohibits deploying “troops or armed men” to locations where elections are held. An AG should know this.

Wow! Solar surpasses 3 TW nameplate worldwide. Wind is >1.3 TW. Together, they make up 4.3 TW. For comparison, US average demand is 0.47 TW, so W+S can now meet a peak of 9x US power demand or, over a year, 2x US electric energy demand. www.energiaestrategica.com/en/notes/esp...

Andrew Fleischman: This is appalling. To think they'd let a jury verdict stand based on nothing more than the victim's testimony, the people she told, two other victims of similar incidents, the president's failure to testify, his confusing the victim for his ex-wife despite claiming she was not his type, and his filmed statement that he enjoys grabbing unwilling women by the pussy.

Where is the justice?

The amazing thing is that even after offering a fabulous deal to Iran—sanctions relief, no meaningful new restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program, and Iran still in control of the Strait—-Trump is still struggling to get Iran to sign and Israel to do what he wants. Decline indeed.
