Can anyone explain to me why a national permitting deal is best negotiated now, mere weeks from an election that is likely to reshape federal power?
Let’s stipulate that a deal of some kind is necessary and good; my question is what about the situation makes now more desirable than, say, Q1 2027?

Electricity is 23% of global final energy but delivers 37% of useful energy and powers 46% of the global economy.
We don't need to replace every fossil joule. We need to replace the services. A much smaller task.

Excellent piece on the Venezuelan oil grab by @davidagraham.bsky.social @theatlantic.com. Love the reference to Smedley Butler, the Marine Corps General who concluded he had wasted his life fighting wars for Wall Street. What Trump calls a "gift" from the Venezuelan people is a theft at gunpoint
