Marc Andreessen just explained how the United States assassinated its own future. In the 1970s, the Nixon administration launched something called Project Independence. The mandate was absolute. Andreessen: “Build a thousand new civilian nuclear power plants in the US by the...See more

That's so weird - the US are selling record quantities of oil 🤔

It's almost as if something was happening in the world 🤣

A lot of solar energy produced in Spain is simply discarded due to over-production

But the second the sun sets, there's not enough energy!

Remember how they went on and on about how the oil from Venezuela was "unusable", could not be refined etc? https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cx24n8eqzgyo

The US refinery now processing Venezuelan oil

Chevron is now importing 250,000 barrels of crude per day from Venezuela.

Another nightmare created so we don't get useful energy

"Imagine a landscape transformed into a shimmering ocean of technology, where nearly two million solar panels stretch across 4,600 acres of the California desert". 3,500 football fields of useless solar panels that need constant cleaning. Known as the Edwards Sanborn project, this massive installation stands as the world’s largest integrated solar and battery storage facility and generates merely 1.3 gigawatts of power. Could just have built a single nuclear power plant and generated 10x the power, continuously, with no need for storage.

The fact that "green" energy is expensive is a dead horse - everyone knows it and clearly, those who push the lie just ignore the facts... Yes, Swiss energy is expensive - but not because it's "green", must because everything is expensive. Compared to the per capita average income, it's fortunately not as bad...

von der Leyen admits quitting nuclear was a strategic mistake

Once again I was right all along - I said this for 20 years - now von der Leyen admitted it openly: reducing nuclear energy in Europe was a STRATEGIC MISTAKE! https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/reducing-nuclear-energy-strategic-mistake-eu-chief-says-2026-03-10/
