The historically volatile Texas grid was entirely stable this summer, despite extreme temperatures. Grid operators never once had to ask Texans to conserve energy or shut off their air conditioners.

Why? Solar & batteries. Want a stable grid? Try solar & batteries.

Solar and batteries had a record-setting, grid-stabilizing summer in…

Solar has set 17 power generation records in Texas so far this year, shoring up the grid alongside batteries as some gas plant developers step back.

also the guy who says he killed Osama bin Laden. very illustrious career!

Fox News has faced ridicule online for repeatedly interviewing masked "guests" - supposedly a "former Antifa member," an "ex-gang member, and others - who all appear to have the same build, eyes, and voice, leading viewers to suspect it's the same man each time.
Internet sleuths recently compared screenshots and suggested the mystery guest resembles Robert J. O'Neill, the former Navy SEAL who claims to have fired the kill shot on Osama bin Laden.
O'Neill, who's been a frequent Fox News contributor and commentator for years, has a long history of appearances on the network. The recurring use of masked figures resembling him has sparked fresh criticism of Fox's credibility and its penchant for sensational, poorly vetted segments.

Me: comic-book villains are not very believable

*2024 happens*

Me: okay, fine. But no one believes that a hero will dress up as an animal like a bat or a spider or a, I dunno, a frog, and face down the bad guys.

*2025 happens*

So now that civilians are being asked to sacrifice for the common good alongside our military, all of a sudden it's a crisis?
It's their time to join in & oppose child sex trafficking.

Ice agents are detaining Navajo citizens and refusing to recognize their tribal IDs. This is an erasure of identity and an attack on tribal sovereignty. This is absolutely unacceptable. 🤬

Also, I looked up Bjorlin's story & Epstein didn't get her until 1994. DJT was perving on underage girls in the 80's.
