I asked chatgpt's new image model to script and generate a series of comics starring itself as the main character. The results genuinely gave me chills. I'll post them all in a thread below.

China is rapidly becoming the world's first hegemonic electro-state, while the USA, under Republican leadership, doubles down on its role as a petro-state. It's a bit like building a navy full of the best sailing ships one can build at the dawn of the age of steam. Might work for

There's a new 2025 peak demand record in ERCOT: 82,566 megawatts at 4:55 today. Solar provided 30% of the power at that time and wind about 16%; wholesale power was just $22/MWh. No conservation alerts. No energy emergencies. Just abundant, affordable power. #txlege #txenergy
