The question is not whether oil disappears tomorrow. It will not. The question is whether oil keeps deciding what America may invent, build and fund. A free market cannot work while one mature industry keeps its hand around the governmentโs throat.
14 Nuclear Reactors in 6 countries in Europe are closed because they have run out of water for cooling. Nuclear Power is no solution, Solar and Wind ARE.

They could not look guiltier if they tried. If Mitch is dead/incapacitated, These people should be in prison for fraud/racketeering. Theyโre defrauding the people of Kentucky for their salaries at the VERY least. @govandybeshear.bsky.social #MissingMitchMcconnell

I'm really struggling with the whole Mitch McConnell thing. Like, is the whole democratic party so weak that not one will book a flight to walk into the hospital or hire a PI to determine if he's dead? Do we not have investigative journalists anymore? WTH is happening, and why is no one checking?
