Yeah you can take the bet on polymarket. Odds right now though are lower than the interest you can get on a CD so probably not wise.

Assuming you would bet no...if you want to bet yes then yeah man go for it, huge returns and you get to meet Jesus!

Are the polymarket odds for Jesus returns by year end 2026 going up? I may need to jump in.

Ratcheting effect towards EVs and electrification.

Plus as fossil fuels decline this will accelerate as the FF system will become more expensive /gal to maintain as industry loses economy of scale.

It costs just $33/MWh to transform daytime solar into dispatchable solar

Huge since true.

"It costs just $33/MWh to transform daytime solar into dispatchable solar"

And no, that doesn't yet account for that storied Dunkelflaute. Then again, the typical gas LCOE doesn't account for Putin's whims or other geopolitical vagaries.

Time series plot of carbon dioxide levels over the last 10,000 years, combining ice core measurements and direct air measurements.

Time series plot of carbon dioxide levels over the last 10,000 years, combining ice core measurements and direct air measurements.

Human civilization arose under a stable atmosphere of 260-280 ppmv of carbon dioxide.

Then, humans learned to utilize the power of fossil fuels.

In a geologic blink, fossil fuel burning has increased atmospheric carbon dioxide levels by more than 50%.

Chart: Grid battery installations soared to a new high in 2025 The U.S. energy-storage sector has grown rapidly over the last few years as solar has expanded, costs have declined, and electricity demand has soared.

Also, 24GW of batteries - that's about the total installed US capacity at the end of 2023, and >50% increase from the installed base at the end of 2025 (45GW).

This will hopefully keep some of the dirtiest peaker plants from running.

It’s so difficult to maintain what I really do think is the epistemologically correct stance of β€œit’s a big deal but there’s a lot of bullshit”, because like, there is a *lot* of bullshit

There are so many kinds of AI-washing happening right now:

* Companies claiming they're using AI to try and boost their valuations
* CEOs saying AI is why they're firing people
* Traders who have long known the market is over-valued using AI as an excuse to finally sell

"Women adopt AI at rates 25% lower than men.

This isn’t a guess. It’s the finding of a Harvard Business School meta-analysis examining eighteen studies, over 140,000 participants, across multiple countries."

Good morning with good news: Solar, wind & batteries will be 93% of US record-high new utility-scale capacity additions in 2026!

Gas additions of 6.3 GW will be less than 6.4 GW of gas & coal retirements!

Solar adds will be ~50 GW, with small solar included.

In many places, motorcycles, scooters and bicycles are the primary means of transportation.

And in the fossil fuel era, some of the dirtiest. So it makes sense that replacing them with green alternatives would have an even bigger impact than replacing cars with EVs.

Interesting thought, could be.

My initial read is more boring they are just trying to antagonize and drive out "disloyal" officers. If they assume most are disloyal than antagonizing all of them fits with the modus operandi.

It’s understandable that the public would be focused on this when the main AI boosters spend so much time talking about how it will destroy jobs rather than benefit people. This wasn’t the case with the internet in the 1990’s.

That’s because the show runners and senior writers for those shows got their training in before the 2000’s. Once networks started pivoting to reality TV, they stopped investing in young writers, closing off the pipeline for new ideas, which became obvious when those prestige shows ended.

in the LLM debate too many peopleβ€”typically non-writersβ€”think of writing as a product

too few think of it as process

This is absolutely fundamental.

Any proposed approach that doesnt acknowledge this is DOA.

If you want power you have to *influence* people! Why is that so misunderstood?

Do people think our previous movements didnt have coordinated influence campaigns and gifted messengers?

The Governor of Virginia just passed a Grid Utilization Bill on a consent agenda through both the House and Senate. Properly managed load growth can actually reduce electricity rates for everyone.

2026 is not about revolutionary tech.

It’s about industrializing what already works.
