The gradual decline in energy-related CO2 emissions in the US was reversed in 2025, with an increase of over 100 million metric tons. New renewables are not keeping up with the rapid increase in electricity demand, so coal-fired generation is running for more hours.

This is a risky approach since everything Trump does to prime his supporters to reject the election results also hurts Republicans' electoral chances.

El que no brinca es puto imperialista!

Renewables-plus-storage is so cheap that in large parts of the world it is cheaper to build a whole new clean power plant than just pay for the fuel and maintenance for a fully-depreciated gas generator. Renewables aren’t just threatening new-build gas — they are undermining existing plants.

The Trump admin's energy policy is inflationary, its trade policy is inflationary, its fiscal policy is inflationary, he harasssed and tried to oust the Fed Chair to get inflationary monetary policy. When inflation is finally stopped by a deep recession, who do you think will take credit for that?

Sure, data centers bring the problem of inadequate power supply to meet demand. But if they suddenly drop off the grid unexpectedly, they create the opposite problem: an imbalance with too little demand for the supply. And that can be just as dangerous. We're unprepared, says NERC. bit.ly/3PlqRt6

Computational loads pose “immediate risks,” the grid watchdog said. Certain grid participants must take seven actions by Aug. 3 in response.

There is a simple reason why China is in the stronger position compared to the US in this trade war: It is much easier to create demand domestically in the short run than it is to rebuild the workshop of the world.

Ending the Fed's independence would rebalance trade in the most disastrous way imaginable, via a collapse of the US dollar.

The ECB's situation is totally different from the Fed's. The US exposure to tariff shocks is much greater than the EU's, who still have lower barriers with their big non-US partners: UK, China, Russia. And who is going to lower interest rates when our bondholders are getting yippy?

Clem Burke, whose energetic, versatile drumming provided the beat for the band Blondie as it churned out post-punk, disco and rock hits in the late 1970s and early ’80s — and then again after the band re-formed in 1997 — died on Sunday. He was 70.
