This story, from @natezuke.bsky.social, is absolutely wild. A trans woman who never changed her gender marker was issued a letter invalidating her license. At the DMV they cut up her license, which had an "M" marker.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.
Despite sanctions, Iran is one of the world's major oil producers, with much of its crude exported to China. n.pr/3N9eJKA
This hypothesis doesn't hold up to scrutiny and yet is accepted as gospel truth in the electricity sector. Brendon's experiment is interesting, but trained experts looked at this and i included it in our policy analysis paper, Overcharged (in my pinned post).

this is incredibly frustrating. By framing this as a policy demand Dems are aiding a disinformation campaign that is intended to confuse the public about what is constitutionally required.
The Treasury's guidance for 45z, the Clean Fuel tax credit, indicates its moving forward with allowing biofuels producers to account for "climate smart agriculture" — which could ultimately just make the credit an even bigger subsidy for ethanol heatmap.news/politics/45z...
this rules and everyone opposed to it just sounds like this to me
Per report executive summary, "Press releases for these projects say one thing. But the 35+ permit documents, site plans, and equipment deals we found tell a much different story. Nearly 75% of the generation equipment we could identify (23 GW) was natural gas-powered." Image includes data chart underpinning finding, showing 22,799 MW of gas-fired power, 6,400 MW nuclear, 1,1317 fuel cells, and 355 batter storage per publicly-disclosed equipment.
The AI data center "buildout is overwhelmingly powered by natural gas." Despite claims re: alternative generation, "the equipment actually being installed in 2025 and 2026 is almost entirely gas-fired. Renewable capacity, where committed, is scheduled for 2028 or later. Nuclear is a decade away."
It's actually not hard to be against ICE, if you want to.
little item for the Senate Dems to ponder: which of the reforms you’re currently floating is going to stop this?
ERAS lets utilities cut the interconnection line—fast-tracking billions in gas projects after years of poor planning. “Temporary” fixes have a way of becoming permanent (and expensive) precedents. Why regulators should slow down and protect ratepayers: www.rtoinsider.com/124815-eras-...
🚨 House passes bill to end the shutdown and punt on DHS funding, sending it to Trump
Vote is 217-214.
21 Ds vote YES.
21 Rs vote NO.
All of government is funded through September EXCEPT DHS, which is put on a 2-week until Feb. 13.

Finally seeing analysis that hedges against the data center hype being completely made up by proposing sound policy for renewables and storage as if the data centers didn’t exist at all! Good!

On August 12, 2017, Heather Heyer was killed by a neo-Nazi in Charlottesville.
On August 17, 2017, Noam Chomsky told the Washington Examiner that antifa was “a gift to the far right”.
In between those dates he met with Jeffrey Epstein in Tuscon.
Elon Musk last year: "Epstein tried to get me to go to his island and I REFUSED"
Musk to Epstein emails:
• “What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?”
• "I really want to hit the party scene"
• "Is there a good time to visit?

So glad we let this guy influence global agriculture policy:
"USAID staffers... drafted a warning to senior officials in Joe Biden’s administration: Northern Gaza had turned into an 'Apocalyptic Wasteland' with dire shortages of food and medical aid.
"But the U.S. ambassador... blocked the cable from wider distribution within the United States government."
