Reminder: The cost of the sun and wind will never increase because of conflict. While oil prices rise by almost 50% in the U.S. - sunlight remains free and abundant, forever. β˜€οΈ

Now comes the heat Add it to the war, and maybe we have a teachable moment

"Either way, this means that 2027 looks increasingly likely to set a new record, perhaps by a sizable margin if we end up on the high end of the range of El NiΓ±o forecasts." That Hausfather and the brasher Jim Hansen are in basic agreement here should terrify us. substack.com/home/post/p-...

Where’s the resistance to the Iran war? A majority opposes the Iran war and it doesn’t matter – yet.

Unlike any Western government during Iraq, Spain has condemned the strikes as an β€œunjustified” and β€œdangerous” military intervention, refused to let the U.S. use its military bases, and held firm when Trump threatened to cut all trade. mehrankhalili.com/iran-resista...

Imagine how different everything would be had the U.S. enthusiastically embraced renewable energy back when Carter put solar panels on the White House or when James Hansen first testified about climate change before Congress in 1988. For one thing, over 150
Iranian schoolgirls would still be alive.

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

Remember guys, you can’t afford a gas rig, or a coal mine, or a nuclear power station, but you can afford to put some cheap solar panels on your roof.

That’s why the fossil fuel industry has spent billions trying to kill renewable energy.

The dealer needs to keep you addicted.
