Great report with compelling stats: the economic writing is on the wall: Electrotech 3x more efficient than fossil fuels Costs fall 20% every time deployment doubles 2/3 of global energy investment Today "all the expected growth in energy jobs." ember-energy.org/latest-insi…

Bingo!
Nadav is right. The anti-Israel protests around the world are intended to "incite a new war": a global assault on all Jews. The purpose of calling us "genocidal" is to make killing us a moral act. They are trying to get us killed, and we need to accept that this is what's happening.
The future is efficient. But not nearly as tasty.
America's first large-scale indoor vertical farm for strawberries is set to open in Richmond, Virginia, in early 2025. Using 30-foot towers, it produces over 4 million pounds of strawberries annually on less than an acre of land. This innovative method reduces water use by 90%, land use by 97%, and eliminates the need for pesticides. We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy

Wow.

Far from reassuring.
Rabbi @AmmiHirsch sat down with Zohran Mamdani. He came with an open mind. He left with a pit in his stomach. Zohran made it crystal clear: He doesn’t believe Israel has any right to exist. Not within the ‘67 lines. Not within the ‘48 borders. Not at all. That’s not “policy disagreement.” That’s Hamas with better PR. That’s the ideology behind October 7th. And now it’s running New York City.

Best meme of the shutdown. Thank you @mmpadellan!
TWEEPS: trump’s holding 22 million families hostage—premiums exploding Jan 1. Dems are the ONLY wall between you and a massive monthly healthcare bill. Smash 1,000 RTs & replies with #GOPHealthCareShutdown to get it trending! Please and thank you!🙏 💪🏽

Positive trennd line
NEW | Renewable capacity additions grew 29% annually since 2023 – outpacing the 21% growth needed to triple global renewables by 2030 With just 12% annual growth from now to 2030, backed by more ambitious national targets, #3xRenewables is still possible ember-energy.org/latest-insi…
Astute.
Here’s what I think will happen in NYC under Mahdami. The free buses and government grocery stores won’t happen, they never do. They sound good during campaigns, but collapse under basic math. You can’t run a city on ideas that cost billions and produce no revenue. The only way to make housing affordable is to build more housing. The free market lowers prices, not regulation. Every time politicians try to control rent or force affordability by decree, developers stop building and landlords stop maintaining. Supply dries up, the quality collapses, and the few properties that remain skyrocket in price. Once landlords can’t make a profit, they sell, lose properties, or walk away. Eventually, the government takes over. Taxes will rise to pay for the promises, and the middle class will be the ones shouldering the burden. The rich will relocate, the poor will depend on subsidies, and the productive class will be squeezed from both sides. Thriving businesses are the foundation of any thriving city. When they leave, everything else follows, jobs, schools, grocery stores, stability. Chicago already proved this. Boeing, McDonald’s, Caterpillar, Citadel, nearly 70k jobs, all gone. Now they’re facing billion-dollar deficits, half empty schools and neighborhoods without grocery stores. I saw someone who lived in a rent-controlled apartment in California put it perfectly, he said his landlord could no longer afford maintenance so the pool was filled with dirt, the floors had soft spots, and the foundation ended up cracking. That’s what overregulation does, it destroys quality. People who voted for this will eventually feel the pain but they won’t blame the policies or the politicians, they’ll blame the rich for leaving. This conversation is always difficult because most people simply don’t understand market dynamics or incentives. In a free society, people act in their own self-interest. If you remove profit and reward dependency, productivity dies and the city with it. If you think things are expensive now, just wait until they’re “free.”
Important observation.
More people have now been killed by Arab militia in Sudan than in the entire two years of the war in Gaza. Women, children, murdered in cold blood. Where are the marchers, where are the chants? Or is this genocide not fashionable enough for you?

I am old enough to remember Mamdani saying that he was focused on NYC and not what happens in Israel. I hope he has the integrity to disregard the DSA Israel/Jew hatred list and focus on the people he was actually elected to serve.
Here’s the New York City DSA Anti-War Working Group’s internal document which they accidentally shared with me. It includes the DSA group’s list of “demands” for the incoming Mamdani Administration — shockingly basically all the demands are anti-Israel. 👉justthenews.com/politics-pol…
Well said!
Antisemitism has been normalized. Not some newfangled variant. The old fashioned Nazi kind.

Domestic terorism.
“Broken glass. Blood everywhere. All because we’re Jewish — and tried to open dialogue.” Jewish students at Toronto University were attacked by a mob of Free Palestine students while hosting an event with IDF veterans. Free Palestine protestors, cosplaying as Hamas terrorists, violently forced their way into the program while Jewish students barricaded themselves behind a glass door and furniture. The attack left multiple Jewish attendees injured, one of them bleeding from a deep cut in their forearm. Toronto police made multiple arrests. We have to start calling this what it is: domestic terrorism. SJP proudly stormed this event with the intention of using violence and intimidation against Jewish students. This is terrorism. Antisemitism is out of control in Canada. It’s not normal. It can’t continue to be the new normal.

Fascinating numbers
There are 3,572 ridiculously underused Walmart supercenters parking lots, and some 500 million commercial parking spaces in the US alone. Covering these with solar would add more than 1.5 Terawatt of generation capacity, greater than the country's entire generation capacity from all sources today We have far more spaces for solar in parking lots and rooftops than we need to service the entire world's electricity demand What are we waiting for, when solar is also the cheapest source of electricity in history

Good point
Critics of renewables often point to land use as a reason not to do wind & solar. Land use IS a real issue for all energy assets incl renewables unless onsite. But what critics conveniently forget is huge land impact of fossil fuels. Aerial view of fracking sites in Texas. 👇

That "extreme expense" of battery storage has been plummeting.
Replying to @janrosenow
Half of Arizona could be covered in solar panels and few people would even notice. It's not the footprint that's the problem, it's the intermittency and extreme expense of battery storage that make solar a marginal energy source. We should build more but it's no solution.

What could possibly go wrong?
This is what we woke up to THE MORNING AFTER @ZohranKMamdani was elected. Swastikas all over Magen David Yeshiva in Gravesend — the biggest Jewish school in NYC. The antisemites are emboldened. This is not a game. Stay Vigilant.
Busting the BBC's unprofessional amplification of Hamas' blood libel lies. Zero journalistic standards when covering Israel.
The revelations about BBC Arabic are truly SHOCKING. This channel may have been intended as ‘soft power’ but now it’s actively working to promote extremists and antisemites. We should not be funding this. The channel has committed so many horrors: - One man who said Jews should be burned “as Hitler did” appeared as a guest 244 times in 18 months. - Another who described Israelis as less than human and Jews as “devils” appeared 522 times in the same period. - Did not include that the Hezbollah attack on Majdal Shams killed children and emphasised denials by the terrorist group. - Main BBC website had 19 separate stories about the Israeli hostages, while BBC Arabic had none. - Articles critical of Hamas on the main website and none on BBC Arabic. - Jonathan Munro, the senior controller of BBC news content boasted that BBC Arabic was “almost as trusted as Al Jazeera”. It’s time to have a complete overhaul of how the BBC is regulated. They can no longer mark their own homework. telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/11…
Exactly!
The art of populism! Find people who are unhappy with real problems, convince enough others they should be unhappy with fake problems, win power, make nearly everyone worse off not solving the real problems, blame your critics. Trump did it twice, Mamdani trying now.
