@etrade ive never experienced anything like this. Over 25 hours spent on phone trying to transfer money from my Roth ira to self directed ira trust. They tell me they have everything yet keep denying my transfer. Over and over and over. Insane

The US will need ~450 GW of new electricity generation capacity by 2030 to meet rising demand from data centers, reshoring, etc.

And the Senate is about to vote on a bill that could wipe out ~500 GW of potential energy generation capacity.

[Zeke Hausfather @hausfath]

The US is falling behind the curve on solar power – a key energy source of the 21st century. We are losing our edge to China on the technology that we originally invented.

Now Senate republicans want to take out our solar industry at the knees in their "Big Beautiful Bill":

[Scott Aaronson @scottaaronson]

@SteveGuest Wind and solar are some.ofmthe cheapest and quickest forms of electricity. Whose pocket are you in?

[Governor Jared Polis @GovofCO]

Congressional Republicans just added a new job killer, tax and cost increase into the big, cruel bill targeting our thriving wind and solar power. The Republican bill now attacks solar and wind investments, which is bad for Colorado on so many levels, but this is a new low.

[Ashley Schapitl @AshleySchapitl]

The Senate bill will now result in ~300GW less wind and solar power built this decade.

This comes when we need ~450GW of power to meet demand.

Nuclear etc. can’t be built quickly enough to fill the gap.

This will mean demand way outstrips supply and 📈 utility bills.

@KansasOz45 @SteveGuest This is the dumbest thing I have ever hears

[Scott Aaronson @scottaaronson]

@SteveGuest If this is true, then why dont we hold the same standard to every other type of electricity generation. Stop subsidizing coal and fossil fuels then too. Farmer subsidies for growing corn for ethanol for our gas tanks should stop too

[Scott Aaronson @scottaaronson]

@mopenshaw @elonmusk The problem is solar and wind would not be treated "the same" as other industries but significantly worse.

[Scott Aaronson @scottaaronson]

@elonmusk why don't you push to keep the renewable subsidies? We need local power dominance to #makeamericagreat . Every other power production method has subsidies and renewables are some of the least expensive power options!

[Scott Aaronson @scottaaronson]

@elonmusk why don't you push harder on removing anti-renewable provisions from bill. We need local energy dominance to #makeamericagreat

@GingerchoCap @FOX2News I think the thing you dont see is that for weeks prior, many members of the community making anti lgtbq comments on facebook groups telling the lgbtq community that they dont belong. Sometimes it is the context behind the act that is just as important as the act itself

[Scott Aaronson @scottaaronson]

Gosh this app makes me feel old. I finally reopened my twitter account to find the profile was taken over by this? Weird!

[Scott Aaronson @scottaaronson]

@lunabird444 @ELPELON85057198 Hey there. Scott from the Hamtramck hostel. I hope you like the addition we made to the exterior of our hostel. We were saddened by the news but know the city doesnt speak for all of us! Love wins!

[Scott Aaronson @scottaaronson]

@bchesky i make a couple hundred k of revenue a year with airbnb. Evsry other channel i have my own dedicated rep if i have issues. Airbnb i have to call a call center. Any plans on changing that?

[Scott Aaronson @scottaaronson]

@bchesky Airbnb needs to realize it has two customers. The host that lists their property and the guests that stay there. With how airbnb support treats hosts, i am only there because i have limited options. The second that changes, im gone.

[Scott Aaronson @scottaaronson]

@bchesky i am a superhost with 8 listings and over 1000 reviews. other day i had a guest stomp on sheets and stay night and get her entire stay refunded. She had 2 past reviews. Airbnb isnt a good host partner.
