Yep .. 'baseload' is now an obsolete concept.
'The study portrays as obsolete the conventional wisdom which holds that, despite the emergence of solar / wind power as the cheapest form of energy, you’ll always need more reliable “baseload” sources such as gas or nuclear plants as the core of your electricity system.'

Mamdani: "What are we fighting for?. When you look back at the history books of our party, 100 years ago we had a very clear vision of what we were fighting for. It's sad that for too many Americans, when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, then have to turn to a history book."

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

Nuclear energy is only an option if you have:
1. Time to waste
2. Taxpayers' money to waste

No country has that 🙄

@rydercup-usa.bsky.social the behaviour of your US pundits are appalling. It makes the event unwatchable. Take control and reinstate decency .. or crash.

They say, "Things are done for the majority"
Don't believe half of what you see and none of what you hear
It's like what my painter friend Donald said to me

@briantylercohen.bsky.social and @davidpakman.bsky.social not commenting on the genocide happening in real time with the aid of US taxpayer money is a sad, red flag. Have unsubscribed from both.

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

I understand that the Israel govt is complaining that Iran are hitting civilian houses also with their retaliatory missiles? How deeply and sadly ironic. 🙄

@democrats.org your leadership is pathetic and NOT ready nor competent to lead a cohesive, winning response to the GOP's onslaught on democracy and its institutions in the US. Take your cue frm Bernie & AOC if you want to succeed!

Hey USA, 'land of the free'. I am a citizen of South Africa, one of the shit-hole countries according to your president. I can freely walk outside right now, with a big Palestinian flag & protest the atrocities in Gaza. Even use the words genocide by Israel. Can you?

Liberals just short of a majority putting NDP in the deciding seats.

Jagmeet Singh loses his seat making an NDP leadership race quick and painless.

Pierre Poilievre loses his seat 😂

This is actually the perfect result.
