No one could have seen this coming. Except for all of us who were screaming that undermining the economy and increasing the cost of drilling with tariffs would cause oil production to drop.

Is this what energy dominance looks like?

We prepare for a conflict with China by applying tariffs that strengthen their hand. They prepare for conflict by becoming a maritime superpower. We can fix this if we want to.

As a former laser jockey, I love to see this. I have an upcoming article in ASME.org ME Mag about the nexus of photons and electrons that touches on the importance of lasers for our energy future.

He is right. Now do tariffs and other protectionist measures.

Shared with me by a friend in France. I am the perfect target audience for this poster.

Interesting development!

Prosecutorial discretion differentiates free & fascist societies. Free: the rule of law and specific processes must be followed to protect the innocent. Fascist: the ruler can detain & deport as they see fit, using masked/anonymous agents to sweep people up, even if innocent.

Nothing says you love America quite like putting the Russian flag into a post twice but the American flag only once.

Fact check: True

Spain's massive April blackout: Grid operator REE didn't schedule enough thermal plants for voltage control, and the thermal plants that were running failed to provide the grid services they were paid for. TLDR: Grid ops/planning mismanagement, not renewables, caused the crisis.

Yes please.
