The Trump administration portrays no-holds-barred oil, gas, coal, and nuclear power as essential to achieve "AI Dominance" over China. We should think of it the other way around. Their real goal is enriching fossil and nuclear power. Great Power AI competition is just political cover.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership. Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources. Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet. Unbelievable.

OMB's Russ Vought, the guy out to destroy the National Center for Atmospheric Research, is “a right-wing absolute zealot,” said Chief of Staff Susie Wiles in Vanity Fair. She lamented DOGE's destruction of USAID. Will she let Vought destroy NCAR the same way? www.nytimes.com/2025/12/17/c...

No surprise here. But the Trump team’s head in the sand promotion of fossil fuels does not only ignore real dangers and human suffering. It also cedes markets to China and European leaders in the electro technologies of the future.

I genuinely wish Lee Zeldin a fast recovery from his bout with skin cancer. Yes, everyone should wear sunscreen. He should also give his agency credit for phasing out CFCs. Saving the ozone layer--our natural sunscreen--saved millions from skin cancer. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...
