And still, the FF industry gets billions in subsidies.

When people on the right ask me what my solutions are, I always tell them, start with removing FF subsidies and move those subsidies over into renewables. If you don’t like renewables, fine… move the money into regen ag., or silvopasture, etc.

I don’t see anything wrong with calling out people who believe in the supernatural, magic, aliens, anti-science, etc. Especially when they represent a group of people… say, a Congressperson.

If a company chooses to censor us for that, they are aiding in the downfall of critical thinking.

I remember sending the NASA website on climate change to some of my climate denier friends/family. Their argument was, “the Globalists control NASA”. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Sadly, NASA’s response to Kim won’t matter. Truth, is now, what you subjectively believe. Not what is objectively seen and known.

NASA to Kim Kardashian: We've been to the moon six times

In a testament to Kim Kardashian's power to grab the spotlight, the head of NASA felt compelled this week to set the record straight when the reality TV queen said she believed a well-worn conspiracy theory that the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing was a fake.

For an administration that is violently anti-socialist/communist, the Trump administration sure likes to get involved in US business.

They are pumping $80 billion into Westinghouse, for nuke reactors. The deal involves taking a portion of any profits above a certain amount. Hmm… reminds me of 🇨🇳 🤫

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 5d

The Trump administration will take a stake in at least $80 billion of new nuclear reactors that it sees as key to continuing to develop AI technologies through a deal it inked with the parent companies of nuclear developer Westinghouse.

U.S. inks $80 billion deal with Westinghouse for nuclear reactors

The partnership would be funded with help from Japan and gives U.S. taxpayers an ownership stake in the plants.

Weird to hear Steve Bannon talking about the need to help the “little guy”. How capitalism is dead and has been replaced by corporatism. And how we need a revolution.

He’s speaking like a Marxist for the first few minutes. Then it all goes downhill. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I’m currently on a road trip in the USA. Going from Kentucky to Wyoming and back.

It’s been a long time since I did a long road trip in my home country. It’s not changed a bit. It’s just as confusing as it’s ever been. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Eco Stoic @ecostoic.bsky.social · 27d

Absolutely!

The most effective thing we can do, if we want real, systemic change, is to withdraw funds from the billionaires and move that money elsewhere.

I have tried to explain this to so many of my friends and family, who oppose renewables and yet, complain about the cost of electricity in the UK.

But, as I have learned from Iain McGilchrist, human bias is the main driving factor in decision making. Once a bias is set in, it is hard to remove it.

Gregory Norminton @gregorynorminton.bsky.social · Oct 4

Blustery day, isn't it? Here's the National Grid: Live generation data. Wind and solar are generating 74.2% of our electricity. Gas is generating 13.1%. And yet our household electricity prices are pegged to... the volatile price of gas. Which is the basis on which the right attacks... renewables.

I won't be popular for agreeing with this article. But I do. I am witnessing a rise in populist, utopian rhetoric by the left. And I am seeing a trend, that if someone on the left, like me, doesn't agree with a tactic, we are shamed.

Being at the top of the moral pyramid won't fix our issues.

I don't understand the comments. The author acknowledges an authoritarian right. And they seem to be saying that the left needs to watch out and make sure it doesn't become a populist party, like the right has become.

We need workable plans, not just utopian talk. Seems fair.

Nuclear stocks hit ATHs, while renewables tank. Look at OKLO, CEG and Cameco vs Enphase, BEP and Orsted.

Herd mentality never ceases to amaze me. BEP has a pipeline of 200,000 MW and is building out 10,000 MW annually. And yet, the share price is the same as it was 5 years ago. 🤷🏽

NPR and PBS are essential. Just like the BBC.

We can shame them for things we’re unhappy about and try to make them be better. But we need NPR/PBS, etc.

Democracy without free, public media won’t work well. It’s barely working now.

Starmer went to Oxford. Sunak went to Oxford.

As did: Truss, Johnson, May and Cameron.

In the US, most of our Presidents attend Ivy League schools. In the UK, it is Oxford and/or Eton.

It's no surprise that Labour looks like the Conservatives and the Dems look like the Republicans.

Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn.bsky.social · Sep 26

People want lower rents. They want cheaper bills and publicly-owned services. They want an NHS that works.

Why can’t this government just do things that would actually improve people’s lives?

We can fix this country. We just need the political will.
