POLITICO Pro: Starmer’s answer to Iran energy shock: Go green faster
The U.K. is doubling down on clean energy, not despite the Iran crisis — but because of it.
What this guy said.
“The events of recent days are yet another reminder that the only route to energy security and sovereignty for the U.K. is to get off our dependence on fossil fuel markets, whose prices we do not control, and onto clean homegrown power that we do."

I feel seen!
Telnet. VMS. Token ring networks. BBS. Gopher. Logo.
It all was wonderful and I made so many friends. Some of whom I still cherish today.

Cermak supposedly hated FDR, and some think he actually said “I wish it was me instead of you.”
One of Chicago’s best stories.

UAE is like this too. Something about rich developing countries.

I talk to policymakers around the US and most have been convinced behind the meter will work. Data center developers have been telling them it can. But nobody’s done it yet. Who will be left holding the bag when their plans don’t work out?

Duvall, Dustin Hoffman, and Gene Hackman hung out together in the 50's. WHAT WAS THAT LIKE???

I don't know how I never saw this picture of Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev before, but it is glorious.

Final EIA-860 is out, and 2025 really did it: 54 GW of new U.S. electric capacity, 96% clean. Solar again carries the offense, and we built more storage in 2025 than the cumulative total through 2023. More and more and more additions... but also record low retirements.

As a person obsessed with electricity grids, tonight's halftime show made me feel seen.

Since upgrading iOS 26.2 my #iPhone 13 has been burning through battery like mad. Anyone else experiencing this?

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.
The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

For me the "news" is less interesting than the data. There's lots of "knowing" this, but without hard data it's hard to move policymakers. And hard data on this particular issue is hard to come by on a regular basis. But if you know an on-demand solution, I'd love to learn about it!
