By Jazzy Jambalaya Go To Postreal fucking geniuses here:
The article describes it as energy arbitrage but it would be more accurate to say it's just a backdoor capacity market, since ERCOT is the only liberalized energy market in the world not to have one.
By Fenderputty Go To PostI specifically posted that article thinking of you. Not to infuriate you, but I knew it would be a topic you would want to read.yeah, it's just... uggh
fucking crypto
dumbass texas politicians

Love a good subsidy failure:
The Renewable Heat Incentive scandal (RHI scandal), also referred to as RHIgate[1] and the Cash for Ash scandal,[2] is a political scandal in Northern Ireland that centres on a failed renewable energy (wood pellet burning) incentive scheme that has been reported to potentially cost the public purse almost £500 million.[3] The plan, initiated in 2012, was overseen by Arlene Foster of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP), the then-Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Investment. Foster failed to introduce proper cost controls, allowing the plan to spiral out of control.[3] The scheme worked by paying applicants to use renewable energy. However, the rate paid was more than the cost of the fuel, and thus many applicants were making profits simply by heating their properties.[3]
Why is a middle school girl watching Tucker Carlson. Can say “since college” all you want but you aren’t fooling anyone.

From investigating, it seems he was parodying this:
People in the comments are assuming that since it was signed Tucker, it meant that they were implying that Tucker Carlson wrote the letter and not just some random bloke who is also called Tucker.

Within 2 hours of each other. Which white guy do I believe?

Old enough to remember that doing something like the Trump campaign at Arlington Cemetery would get an entire campaign buried and lose an election
Damn lady didn't prosecute because she's scared of trumps toady retribution. Trump's campaign out there calling her deplorable.
On the brighter side, some CHUD spent 25K on trumps cards cause he thought he would get to meet him but actually it's just a raffle to meat him. Trump stock also slid under 20$ for the first time and CHUDS are losing their retirement savings.

Liz Truss has a theory about what caused the collapse of Britain’s Conservative Party, and it has little to do with her. Sitting last May in her corner office across the street from Big Ben, Truss diagnosed the multiple ailments of her party, without referring to her own calamitous, 49-day stint as prime minister. Instead, like the London Eye turning lazily on the far bank of the Thames outside her window, she spun a story about how the Conservatives had drifted away from their ideological moorings.lol
Mass migration, big government, anticapitalist protests, an erosion of Parliament’s power over the “deep state” and a hothouse legal culture that prizes transgender rights over common-sense policies — these and other nostrums of left-wing thinking had come to dominate British politics, she said. After 14 years in power, Truss went on, the Conservatives were still living in, even embracing, Tony Blair’s Britain.
“We’re still seeing gender ideology in schools; we’ve got record levels of immigration; our taxes are at an 80-year high; and the government accounts for 45 percent of G.D.P.,” she said, in her characteristic staccato tone. “By any objective measure, that’s not a very strongly conservative set of policies.
“I tried,” Truss said of her ill-fated premiership, the shortest in Britain’s history, “but it was too late in the day, fundamentally.”
It was actually all the free dry anal she was giving out in her office.
That's basically socialism. Make them earn it first, Liz.

genuine question but what's the reason behind outdoor smoking bans? is secondhand smoke that bad even outdoors when you walk by?
By DiPro Go To Postgenuine question but what's the reason behind outdoor smoking bans? is secondhand smoke that bad even outdoors when you walk by?I would think it would be mostly litter based with smokers dumping their buds everywhere?
Unless all these NIMBY's are pushing for it. No Smoke smell when I'm in my yard!
By DiPro Go To Postgenuine question but what's the reason behind outdoor smoking bans? is secondhand smoke that bad even outdoors when you walk by?Starmer's statement on it just talked about reducing the health impact. They probably would have gone for a more widespread ban but for the fact that the Tories had the same proposal just before the election.

Probably due to cancer sticks being terrible for everyone, second hand smoke or not.

Amazing how against green energy the GOP and TX repubs are when their state is actually doing really well with it.
The overwhelming majority — 97 percent — of the new capacity added this year came from carbon-free solar, battery storage, wind, and nuclear projects.
Flourish logoA Flourish chart
Solar led the way, making up 59 percent of new installations through the end of June. Developers built 12 gigawatts’ worth of solar projects in the first half, including the enormous Gemini solar-and-storage facility in Nevada. Texas and Florida took the lead on solar during that period.
Battery storage was next, accounting for 21 percent of new capacity built in the first six months of the year. The 4.2 GW of grid batteries installed during the half-year period is equal to the amount the U.S. built in all of 2022. Most of the battery storage activity happened in California and — you guessed it — Texas.
