@DrJStrategy This presumes too much 4D chess on the part of Trump, who’s incapable. And your analysis reinforces the need for a rapid investment in the energy transition, which is now technically and economically possible, rather than making a logical case that the transition was/is folly.

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets.

Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy.

Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks.

This doesn’t look like much, but it changes everything.

What you’re looking at is an evpzee lamppost charger.

It is the smartest solution to one of the biggest barriers to EV adoption.

A standard street lamp, quietly turned into an EV charger.

No digging up roads, it is installed in just 30 minutes.

No huge infrastructure projects, a full street can be electrified in a matter of hours.

Manufactured and assembled in the UK and fully OCPP.

Using what’s already there.

For millions of people across the UK, especially those without driveways, this is the difference between “I can’t have an EV” and “actually…I can.”

It’s easy to overlook innovations like this because they’re not flashy.

No 350kW ultra-rapid chargers.

No massive charging hubs.

Just practical, scalable, everyday infrastructure doing exactly what it needs to do.

And that’s the point.

The EV transition will be be driven by everyone having the ability to charge when they need to.

Simple.

Effective.

@GaylonMcAlpine @AndrewJBone Exactly! I get so tired of explaining this.

Gorsuch to Kagan, Sotomayor, Jackson: In every Biden executive order case, you voted to uphold what the President did. However vague the statute, however unprecedented the action, however attenuated the causation, you voted yes. So why are you in the majority with me in this case? Why?

Gorsuch to Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh: In every Biden executive order case, you voted to strike down what the President did. You said vague statutes, unprecedented actions, attenuated causation, that those are all fatal. So why are you in the dissent in this case? Why?

It's astonishing to witness the improvement in public education--reading, math, attendance, grad rates--in Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi. But we're busy fighting culture wars rather than scaling up what these three states have done. Please do read: https://t.co/h20UCdCP2w

@colecubelic @Nike It’s like walking/running on pillows. Saved my feet for sure (had all kinds of problems till these - or I should say their predecessor, the Invincible 3 - these are the continuation of that shoe).

@jadler1969 Moron can’t keep measles and chicken pox straight. It’s the downfall of society that people like this have such far reaching platforms.

@jadler1969 Two of these things are not like the other. Two of them aren’t going to affect whether we’ll have the luxury of listening to the radio in the not too distant future.

@shaneyfelt_l @NickyPerkss Because of a blocked punt and an interception. They played with a short field in every scoring drive.

@jadler1969 Unfortunately, it takes too long for bad science to get corrected, or it’s too easy to get published to begin with due to path dependency of the “consensus” (in quotes b/c there is always some uncertainty). But these outliers are too often used to discredit the entire enterprise.

@Jim_Jordan Seems you would rather see America’s institutions and standing as an example of democracy burn to the ground rather than Republicans grow a spine.

@jadler1969 @jadler1969 Based on the opinion of this guy? https://t.co/Mt8cLHjroU

@atrupar Fossil fuels have TONS of subsidies - they just aren’t start/stop - they are baked permanently into the tax code!

[Blake Hudson @ForestLawProf]

@colecubelic Amen!

@nicksortor This can’t be a serious tweet. He raised those food prices by putting the tariffs in place in the first instance. Something every respectable economist predicted would happen.
