... We find a useful referee in this war of words with the recently released Eye on the Market 15th Annual Energy Paper by Michael Cembalest, J. P. Morgan's chairman of market and investment strategy. As this 70-slide, deep-dive report pointedly notes, "after $9 trillion globally over the last decade spent on wind, solar, electric vehicles, energy storage, electrified heat and power grids, the renewable transition is still a linear one; the renewable share of final energy consumption is slowly advancing at 0.3%"0.6% per year [emphasis added]." One does not need a mathematics degree to understand that such anemic growth rates are not the hallmarks of an "unstoppable" juggernaut. Hence, Cembalest's bottom line: "Growth in fossil fuel consumption is slowing but no clear sign of a peak on a global basis." That is to say, no "energy transition" is in sight
P President Trump's address to a joint session of Congress tonight won't technically be a State of the Union message, but it will be close enough. Every president since Reagan has delivered such a speech at the beginning of his term, laying out plans for the next four years. Trump no doubt will have plenty of things to say about his future agenda. But unlike his predecessors, he'll already be able to point to accomplishments. Chief among them: ending the worst migration crisis in American"or perhaps world"history in just a few weeks.
It's Oscar Sunday, a ceremony fueled by one thing: publicity. We turn ordinary people into gods and goddesses by telling flattering myths about who they are and why they're important. The "narrative" gives voters a reason to care and almost always drives the win. In Hollywood, they're not planning on changing anything, just as the Democrats won't. They haven't noticed that, as they're watching the band play on, the ship is made of iron and will sink. What do they even stand for anymore? Transing the kids, open borders for cheap labor, and most importantly, the war in Ukraine. Attending the Oscars is like supporting the Democrats, like supporting Zelensky"an alignment of power like no other.
It's about 20 minutes long in total. The first 15 minutes breaks it down by starting from the beginning and analyzing key points of the discussion prior to when things got testy. The last 5 minutes go into events that happened earlier that day.
Last Friday, while leaders around the Western world were up in arms about J.D. Vance's confrontational address to the Munich Security Council, the Washington Post published a good old-fashioned piece of journalism. From "U.K. orders Apple to let it spy on users' encrypted accounts": Security officials in the United Kingdom have demanded that Apple create a back door allowing them to retrieve all the content any Apple user worldwide has uploaded to the cloud, people familiar with the matter told The Washington Post. ... [The] Home Secretary has served Apple with ... a technical capability notice, ordering it to provide access under the sweeping U.K. Investigatory Powers Act of 2016, which authorizes law enforcement to compel assistance from companies ... The law, known by critics as the Snoopers' Charter, makes it a criminal offense to reveal that the government has even made such a demand. read more
It's amazing to me how much a sizable section of the left absolutely loves illegal immigration and wields all of its powers to protect and expand it.
