Gas prices hit $4.46 a gallon today — a gain of 17 cents over the previous week and $1.26 higher than the same point last year.

Diesel prices are up more than $2.74 from a year ago.

Families, farmers, and truckers are all getting squeezed.

I don't understand why American automakers & energy companies aren't ditching fossil fuels. Fossil fuels aren't affordable, they destroy our planet, & are an excuse for wars. American automakers & energy companies should be the vanguard to #EndFossilFuelDependence.

THIS COULD SEND OIL PRICES THROUGH THE ROOF

Hormuz is already crippled. Saudi Arabia just shut a major pipeline after drone strikes. Now the Houthis are threatening Bab el-Mandeb, the other major oil chokepoint.

If that strait gets choked off too, $100 oil is the bottom, not the ceiling.

Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels have seized the Red Sea port of Mokha and captured the nearby Perim island, tightening their grip around the Bab al-Mandeb Strait while the U.S.-Iran war chokes another of the world’s critical shipping routes at Hormuz.
Iran-backed Houthis seize Red Sea port, putting another key trade route at risk
With the Strait of Hormuz already snarled up, simultaneous disruption looms at the southern gateway to the Red Sea.

-Data centres must create lasting local benefits
-Data centres must not shift electricity costs to Canadians
-Data centres must minimize water use and environmental impacts
-Data centres must be transparent about local impacts
-Data centres must bring strategic value to Canada

It took nearly 7 decades, after invention of the silicon solar cell in 1954, for the world to install 1 terawatt of solar capacity, enough to power entire USA
After passing that milestone in 2022, world added its second terawatt in 2024 and its third in 2026

The World Adds a Third Terawatt of Solar Power
In March, the world passed a major energy milestone, adding its third terawatt of solar power. Increasingly, poorer countries are leading the shift to solar, analysts say.
