In response to yesterday's OGI video of methane pollution there was a request for OGI showing emissions from a wind turbine. Here is a good comparison of emissions from a flare stack vs emissions from two nearby wind turbines.

Trump pardons diesel-tampering mechanic. Not a one-off, he earned more than $800,000 short-circuiting pollution controls. More money for him, more toxic pollution for his neighbors. That’s Trump in a nutshell. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/eene...

The focus going forward is to keep the focus on splitting the Rs on the healthcare votes to come. Keep the focus on them. Do not waste this moment in infighting among Ds.

Hey BSKY, take a breath. Aim your anger where it belongs. Dems have elevated the healthcare cost crisis way above where it was in September. GOP is still in political jeopardy over healthcare costs. They will either cave when those votes come or find themselves on the street next November.

Easy for the WSJ editors to praise Trump for helping out a well-off famous guy. Where is equivalent empathy for 42 million hungry Americans waiting for SNAP? www.wsj.com/opinion/scot...

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, and a few of their friends could easily come up $8 billion to cover SNAP for 42 million hungry Americans. It’d be a good deed — even as a loan. If you agree, let’s make this go viral. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

The cops are off the environmental beat, and Americans will breathe and drink more pollution. Instead of enforcing clean air and water standards, Trump’s EPA is making the staff it hasn’t fired or furloughed work on repealing and weakening those standards. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Trump is his own worst advocate.

Spending less on a dying technology makes good business sense. Too bad the US is not investing for the future, just trying to hold on to a past that will never come back.

Will the six SCOTUS conservatives say that Trump is irreparably harmed and that harm outweighs the hunger of millions of kids?

Making Musk a trillionaire is another reason I will never buy a Tesla.

Maths... If you make $100,000 a year (not bad), it will take you 10 MILLION years to earn a trillion dollars. If you make a million dollars a year (wow!), it'll still take you a million years to earn a trillion dollars. Tax the rich.

Great! Now Elon can afford to fund SNAP, low-income energy assistance, and medical and food aid to Africa.

Climate agreements outlasted Bush-Cheney and Trump I. They will outlast Trump II. Human suffering will be worse because they slowed things down. But countries will keep moving forward because the danger is real and the clean alternatives are cheaper. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...

Apart from the extra zeros, this goes entirely against the Trump Solicitor-General's argument yesterday that the tariffs are not intended to raise revenue.

I bet they'll lose a few tons of GOP Congressmen and Senators by the midterms.

Verbal tics can be, sort of, a tip-off of a lack of confidence. Solicitor-General Sauer said "sort of" 27 times in the tariff argument, many times undermining his most sweeping claims.
