@saeverley @TPridemore This is a silly thing for the data center industry to be marketing, name one part of the country where energy bills are going down

@StephenMoore @BillAckman New York has a purposeful plan here

When it gets deadly hot and we need power most in the Midwest, coal and gas do the job. Solar and wind sadly don’t.

Wind and solar falling down on the job again when grid stress is highest.

@JerryPonioWI Yes and yes

Unpopular opinion: It doesn’t matter whether it’s daylight time or standard time. I just want the clock to stop changing back and forth. *ducks*

@SimonMahan It’s will take multiple lifetimes to replace (if ever) one of the greatest gifts to humanity, the hydrocarbon supply chain.

@JigarShahDC Willing buyers and sellers, clearly, in an unsubsidized market. Complaining with no productive solution?

@mitchellcmorris @allengilmer Some will fail, many will continue on. College is not just a degree for many, it’s an experience. Ask your friends, few looking back would say they would skip college.

PALMER LUCKEY: “PATENTS ARE CHINESE INSTRUCTION MANUALS.” “STOP PATENTING EVERYTHING. THE FOUNDING FATHERS NEVER PREDICTED A WORLD WHERE THE ENTIRE PATENT OFFICE COULD BE DOWNLOADED EVERY MORNING, RIPPED OFF, AND USED TO FIGHT A WAR AGAINST YOU.” “WE NEED TO FUNDAMENTALLY REVISIT THE PATENT SYSTEM.” “I THINK WE NEED TO MASSIVELY EXPAND THE NATIONAL SECURITY PATENT PROCESS. YOU CAN OBTAIN A CLASSIFIED PATENT THAT YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DISCLOSE TO ANYONE... WHILE STILL MAINTAINING EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS.” “WE NEED TO MASSIVELY EXPAND THAT PROGRAM.”

The “skip college” pundits may be missing one key piece of thinking Is college an experience vs just a degree? It will be hard to disrupt traditional college if the broad answer is “experience” Human interactions and experiences will be increasingly of value in the future as AI de-humanizes life even more

@IndianaGPA This airport has way too many small GA planes mixed with high frequency commercial air ops. Accident waiting to happen.

DOE loans should be awarded to entities that win competitive bidding processes, demonstrate true long term value to rate payers, and bring next-generation tech into the utility space. AEP doesn’t need more free hand outs. utilitydive.com/news/doe-close…

The U.S. government once passed laws specifically designed to combat communism, and many are still technically on the books today.   1940: Congress passed the Smith Act, making it a crime to advocate the violent overthrow of the U.S. government. It became a major tool for prosecuting Communist Party leaders during the early Cold War. 1950: Congress passed the McCarran Internal Security Act, requiring certain communist organizations to register with the government and imposing broad restrictions on communist activity. 1954: Congress went even further with the Communist Control Act, declaring the Communist Party a threat to national security and attempting to strip it of many legal rights as a political organization.   Then the Supreme Court fundamentally changed the legal landscape.   In Yates (1957), the Court ruled that advocating communist theory or Marxist ideas was different from advocating violent action. In Scales and Noto (1961), it held that simply belonging to the Communist Party was not enough for criminal liability. By Albertson (1965), Robel (1967), and Keyishian (1967), the Court had struck down or severely limited registration requirements, employment restrictions, and other penalties based largely on political association.   Brandenburg (1969) established the modern First Amendment rule: speech can only be punished if it is intended and likely to produce imminent lawless action.   America's Cold War anti-communist laws were never repealed but many of their strongest provisions became effectively unenforceable because of constitutional rulings.

@WarMonitorClips Thank God we have warriors willing to go to desolate, dark, and distant lands to hunt down bad guys

Someone asked the other day about the definition of socialism, communism, and Marxism. Ann Landers years ago explained it well! Enjoy!

I remember telling people this 18 months ago and most refused to believe: 1) Gas engines win for BTM data center power when you account for redundancy, equipment cost trends, and ramping requirements. 2) Aeroderivatives are better than CCGTs. 3) Fuel cells are clearly worst.

Warren Buffett on what actually makes a life successful: 1. "if you get to be 65 or 70 and the people you want to love you actually love you, you're a success." i've met very rich men. testimonial dinners. schools named after them. and nobody loves them. their own kids say "he's in the attic." 2. the best investment you'll ever make is in yourself. learn to communicate. on paper and in person. if you can't get your idea across, it's like winking at a girl in the dark. nothing happens. get good at it and you raise your own value 50%. and nobody can ever take it from you. 3. you get one mind and one body. that's the whole deal. say i gave you a car and told you it's the only one you get for the rest of your life. you'd read the manual. keep it in the garage. baby it. you get exactly one body like that. you can't start caring for it at 50. by then it's rusted out. 4. you become whoever you spend your time with. you drift in the direction of the people around you. so pick people better than you. the biggest pick of your life is your spouse. marry someone a little better than you. and hope they don't figure it out too fast. 5. with money, doing nothing beats doing something. a farm or an apartment, you can't sell it tomorrow. so you just hold it. stocks you can sell in a second. so people can't help themselves. but moving your money around isn't smarter than leaving it alone. buy a piece of america and stop touching it.

We will see this at 90%+, barring catastrophic policy choices.

Buena Vista, CO celebrated the 4th of July in true conservative style. Wonderful to see a patriotic community do it right! True Americana experience
