Energy transitions can happen faster than we think:
In 2000 almost 90% of Denmark's electricity was from fossil fuels.
In 2024 less than 10% of Danish electricity was from fossil fuels.

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

That’s why Trump wants 🇨🇦to increase NATO spending - to get more of our money.
🇨🇦is buying Canadian, from the EU and others now.

"I would be cognizant of the fact that the 70 per cent of the costs of any acquisition is the life-cycle sustainment costs," said Alan Williams, the Defence Department's former top procurement official, "and these costs for the Gripen are one-sixth the cost of the F-35.”
