  • The bigger deal, which didn't make the headline of this article, is that making the switch is cheaper than putting up with a single fossil fuel price jump.

  • Iran begins laying mines in Strait of Hormuz, sources say

    Jump

  • Just that they weren't deployed in a way that prevents a pilot who knows where the mines are from avoiding them. In the 1980s, tankers regularly transited despite a risk of mines.

    The planet is overheating. Why is the news looking away? Since 2021, global media coverage of climate change has dropped 38 percent. Blame wars, political chaos, and Jeffrey Epstein.

  • Solar panel reimbursements to remain low under California appeals court ruling

    Jump

  • Full disconnect is fairly unlikely. You really want the wind and geographical backstops to be reliable and cheap

  • Iran begins laying mines in Strait of Hormuz, sources say

    Jump

  • Still makes a lot of sense to me that they'd try to deploy at least some mines; needing an Iranian pilot to get through the strait would provide one more advantage.

    Jump

  • Land mines are still getting widely used in Ukraine despite there now being drones. Why is this any different?

  • Iran begins laying mines in Strait of Hormuz, sources say

    Jump

  • It still makes a lot of sense for them; a set of mines which Iran knows the location of would be pretty dramatically to their advantage, just as it did in the 1980s.

  • Iran begins laying mines in Strait of Hormuz, sources say

    Jump

  • Because:

    • It's cheap
    • It's effective
    • It's hard for the US to prevent
    • They haven't gotten takers on their safe-passage thing

  • Iran begins laying mines in Strait of Hormuz, sources say

    Jump

  • It seems to all be anonymously sourced. Still, the kind of thing I'd be really surprised if Iran didn't do

  • They don't have any real power. So its going to be on us to pull that off

  • Middle East war strengthens case for renewables, say clean energy experts

    Jump

  • Yeah, Trump behaves as if the national interest of the United States is not his top priority.

  • You rather mangled the URL there. Here's a simple gift link

  • Fox News apologizes for showing old video of a hatless Donald Trump at a dignified transfer ceremony

    Jump

  • I think they annoyed Republicans because they failed to help Trump hawk hats

  • Americans are Now a Target in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown

    Jump

  • Always been a risk with ICE and the Border Patrol. About 1% of deportations have long been of US citizens. You need to get a friend to bring your proof of citizenship and try repeatedly to come home if that happens. A lawyer helps too.

  • How War in the Middle East Could Sow Hunger | The Persian Gulf is a major source of fertilizers, making the conflict disruptive to the global production of food.

    Jump

  • Fwiw the US only imports about 5% of its nitrogen fertilizer use.

  • Americans are Now a Target in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown

    Jump

  • For US citizens, that's not so true. People do seem to be getting no-bills from grand juries and acquitted at trial.

  • How D.H.S. Retreated on Immigration Tactics After Minneapolis | Agents have conducted more targeted operations, rather than street sweeps, leading to a dip in arrests — at least for now.

    Jump

  • No, they're just being less flashy about it.

  • 40% of global ship traffic is simply moving fossil fuels around! Renewables make much of this traffic obsolete

    Jump

  • The actual statistic is from here I think.
