Some people have been tiptoeing around it, but it's important for those who know to speak plainly. It's not partisan.
The Secretary of Energy is lying to you, knowingly, brazenly, and constantly. He is lying *daily* in service of his boss and his pocketbook. The worst Sec of Energy in my lifetime.

Reminder to all the energy folks bending over backwards to praise the Trump admin’s “AI dominance” plan, mere days after they torched US energy incentives, cancelled a transmission line, subjected solar projects to Burgum’s personal approval, and otherwise made it impossible to build new electricity
