Shuji Nakamura's invention of blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) changed everything about our daily lives.

His new goal? To create a power plant that uses a new kind of high-pulse laser for nuclear fusion, producing an "endless" supply of efficient, clean energy. https://t.co/3pGHZPolCO

In 2014, US LNG was basically zero.

By 2025, it makes up 61% of all American gas exports.

This is one of the fastest energy transformations in history.

This chart tracks US natural gas exports from 2010 to 2025, in billion cubic meters.

Total exports exploded from a trickle to nearly 250 Bm³.

But the real story is the shift inside that growth.

In 2010, pipelines were 94% of exports.

LNG was just 6%, gas sent to neighbors by tube.

By 2025, that flipped.

LNG is now 61%, pipelines down to 39%.

LNG changed everything. It freed US gas from pipelines and put it on ships to anywhere.

Watch the purple line too.
That's the EU's share of US LNG.

It was near zero for years, then spiked after 2022 when Russia cut off Europe.

Europe replaced Russian pipeline gas with American LNG, and the dependence keeps growing.

The takeaway is huge.
In just over a decade, the US became the swing supplier of global gas, and Europe's energy security now runs through American export terminals.

@nicksortor This concern would be better addressed by ensuring all homeland security and defense national security priorities are well weighted and funded by Congress, since country haters could also be homegrown persons who lived all their life in country from birth.

What the $200 oil crowd got so wrong is that this shock just wasn't that bad. Here's India's crude import volumes through May. You really can't even see the hit from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. India bought lots of Russian oil and that was that...

Polymarket wants you to believe everyone is getting rich trading prediction markets.

The reality: just 0.1% of accounts took home 67% of the profits.

The videos making it look easy? They were all fake.

When someone is selling you "free money," they’re the one making it.

🚨BREAKING: Secretary Rubio just brokered a historic framework peace agreement between Israel and Lebanon, right here in Washington, D.C.

The deal is simple: Iran is out. Hezbollah is out. The Lebanese military moves in.

Israel begins withdrawing from southern Lebanon. Lebanon takes back control of its own soil. And for the first time in decades, a real path to peace is on the table.

America made this happen.

Strait of Hormuz crossings surge as operators shift to Omani route

Confirmed vessel activity through the Strait of Hormuz rose sharply on 24 June, with 70 crossings recorded, up 105% day-on-day, as demining efforts advanced and more operators used the Omani route.

According to #MarineTraffic data, commercial traffic accounted for most of the activity, with 53 transits, while low-risk vessels dominated the day’s profile. The increase suggests a short-term confidence boost following the US-Iran MoU framework and the apparent easing of blockade conditions, with market monitoring upticks cautiously as key negotiation caveats remain.

The Fed expanded the money supply by over $9 trillion under Jerome Powell.

Inflation has averaged >4% per year over the past 6 years.

Powell's explanation? It was nearly all due to rolling “supply shocks" over which the Fed has no control.

The truth: this inflation was made in Washington as it always is - from too much government borrowing/spending and too much government creation of money.

Water usage has been a hot topic in the AI data center world, but the numbers may surprise you.

According to the Manhattan Institute, data centers use 0.2 percent of daily water usage in the U.S. and that number has dramatically decreased in the past few years due to a new method: liquid cooling.

By moving to 45°C liquid cooling, AI factories in favorable climates can use dry coolers instead of conventional cooling-tower-based systems, cutting facility cooling water use from roughly 2.6M gallons per MW per year to near zero.

Liquid cooling enables AI factories to be both water and energy efficient, while creating opportunities for heat reuse and dispersal to local communities, allowing these factories to become energy grid assets.
