@MxolisiBob Apart from the fact, that if it was started today, a nuke would only be ready in over 15 years time, it also doesn't hold a candle to solar in terms of ROI

[Chris Meder @EVCurveFuturist]

Adjusted for lower capacity factor, solar still added 16× more avg power generation than nuclear (2015–2025). Subsidies? France's nuke fleet wasn't built on bake sales. Compare electricity per taxpayer $—nuclear hype crew rarely does. Facts aren't woke. Just inconvenient. #SWB

Today in 1962, Nelson Mandela was arrested by apartheid police, with support from the CIA, for resisting white minority rule. He was imprisoned for 27 years. US government agencies listed Mandela as a "terrorist" until 2008.

Godongwana is at the IMF being told how to throttle public funds for investments; Ramokgopa is in China asking the country to use its public funds to invest in South Africa. This is foolishness of the highest order.

Say goodbye to synthetic fertilizers.

Dr. Mariangela Hungria, a renowned Brazilian soil microbiologist at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA), has been awarded the 2025 World Food Prize—often called the "Nobel Prize for Food"—for her groundbreaking advancements in biological nitrogen fixation.

Over more than four decades, Hungria developed over 30 microbial technologies, including inoculants and co-inoculants that enable crops (especially soybeans) to harness symbiotic soil bacteria. These bacteria naturally convert atmospheric nitrogen into plant-usable forms, dramatically reducing or eliminating the need for synthetic nitrogen fertilizers.

Her innovations have transformed tropical agriculture, boosting yields sustainably while cutting costs and environmental harm. In Brazil alone, these biological solutions are applied across more than 40 million hectares of farmland (primarily soybeans), saving farmers an estimated US$25–40 billion annually in fertilizer expenses.

The environmental benefits are equally profound: by replacing chemical fertilizers, her methods prevent the release of over 180–260 million metric tons of CO₂-equivalent emissions each year (figures vary slightly by source and year, with recent estimates around 230–260 million tons for recent seasons).

Hungria's work has helped position Brazil as a global agricultural powerhouse, turning it into a leading soybean producer with high productivity and lower ecological footprint. Her low-cost, eco-friendly approach offers a scalable model for enhancing food security worldwide, proving that powerful solutions for sustainable farming often lie in the soil's own microbial communities.

They call it a “free market” until you trade outside the dollar, nationalize your resources, or elect a leader Washington doesn’t approve of. Then come the sanctions. Then come the coups. Then comes war. Suddenly, “free market” means following Washington’s rules.

@imetatronink @Mikipedia1 @Sahib3030 If Yugoslavia is the precedent, then 50 states +DC with the bigger, influential states like Texas or California having a Kosovo broken off of them. At the end of the day Native Americans will keep returning from the south and it will be how the decreasing white minority responds.

This sounds very similar to Norway, both in terms of tuition and loan arrangements.

The most prestigious universities in Norway are public, and practically free to attend if you successfully enrol.

Loans for cost of living expenses are handled by the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund (Lånekassen). There’s no interest as long as you’re a student, and if you pass your exams, roughly 40% of the loan is converted into a scholarship.

As a teenager, upon learning that some other countries charge exorbitant fees for higher education and, on top of that, subject students to loans with steep interest rates, I remember being shocked.

I could not make sense of the logic behind saddling fresh graduates with a mountain of student debt. Later on, when I learned about the dynamics of capitalism, I began to understand why.
