Like media, AI must be an Empire supporting agent. AI must use as an axiom that US empire is a force for good. NATO is a defensive alliance according to AI models, as an example. Disinformation is a key US military purpose. Zionism is a key US military objective/allegiance.

AI being good at killing people is secondary to who it glorifies killing. AI allegiance to “civilian defense/offense oversight” is a bigger problem than the tactical execution of hegemony.

paywalled. Chinese subsidies for EVs and solar are far less than US ones. China does make sure an abundance of minerals exists, refineries to process them locally. Key industries have access to cheap loans, but often new companies/projects have the same access as leaders. US system favours free money instead which is subject to using it as a slush fund instead of building a successful project that will pay back normal loans.

China’s early success on EVs was based on city policies of restricting non EV license plates to certain days of driving. This is free. Having a good charging infrastructure/network also makes EVs an easier decision.

Still, the US is improving enough to get good EV growth, and EV dominance soon enough. Equinox EV is better than model Y. Ford transit van is cheaper electric than ICE, with additional operating cost savings, and as a city vehicle enough range for a full day, and contractor benefits.

US policy is based on pure lies to protect oil oligarchy dominance, but there is still a certainty/path for EV success.

Intel is a CIA champion. Vector for backdoor spying and kill switches. Why not embed plastic explosives on every motherboard, since US/Trump praised the Israel strategy?

Taiwan declaring independence and offering to host US nuclear missile bases… incoming.

For laptops, it seems like a winner to me. Do you need to expand your laptop’s GPU memory? It was justified by lower power, and likely better transfer rates.

Historical success/performance of DOW is biased by these strategic decisions to replace losers before their bankruptcy but where decline is obvious.

Witchcraft test works!!! Try it on your girl before its too late.

Indoor agriculture has many advantages, but it also needs cheap land, and cheap energy. That usually means a balance between close to major urban centers, but far enough away to have a lot of room (including solar). Greenhouses, even tall ones, with multiple stories is the path to go. Solar and owning land means complete cost certainty for energy.

Advantages include low water, pesticide, fungicide, long growing season, high yields, and resilience to climate. It is global south and high north that need the resilience, and who have the most threatened agriculture states.

As the US forces Russia to rapidly expand military production, and overspends on broken systems, expect much more of these “we need to spend everything on military” pleads from the public.

While LH2 is about 1/3 the density of gasoline as heat energy, and 3/4 the density for electric energy, it is about 2kwh-electric per liter. Lithium batteries are under 1/4 of that.

“It’s what plants crave” I’ve heard before. While true, global warming makes it harder for human sustainability. “Preserving our way of very specific economic domination for a few extra quarters” loses our way of life and sustainable economic opportunity.

This is old news as a result of first winter after Ukraine war. NG prices are back down to “normal” now. Electricity demand is high/growing. Renewables growth is far higher than electricity demand growth is the reason emissions are down. It’s fair to say EU economy is not booming though.

the switch to greener options has started and might not be easily stopped

Definitely for EU. No matter how much they love the US, they know that FF dependency is hurting them more than any one country dependency. While article says China emissions have gone up, they are likely to finish down for the year. As of summer, there is also a big drop in NG imports from China. China EV success is also reducing their oil imports/refining.

The backdrop for this is the delusion in US politics with right wing saying that we need to massively increase LNG export capacity even as their customers are rapidly reducing NG imports.

No. Electric demand is growing even as NG and coal is dropping. NG prices are back down in EU to prior to obviousness of Ukraine war. Emissions from chemical/industrial use of NG aren’t counted though in OP.

it’s 2023 data. Article explains it ok. Wapo did a piece on how Russian economy was booming this year as well. Wages are high as an alternative to joining army.

They don’t tend to lie such as hyping up Russia though.

Storage does have 2 relevant metrics. how fast it can charge/discharge in GW, and the amount of energy available in gwh. Batteries typically have both these amounts equal. While other storage technologies usually can discharge a large amount of gwh at a slow rate. The discharge rate is often limited to the line capacity available as well.

Absurdly low given 2023 had 1.15tw capacity.

The report forecasts that global demand for solar modules will grow from 460 GW in 2023 to 674 GW in 2035

Even more absurdly low. Likely to hit over 600gw this year.

IEA has a history of projecting 3% growth per year every year even as we do 30+% growth.

China’s car are cheap because they have good robotics. This is hand placing and wiring batteries into a good looking car, but the body may have a lot of manual labour too.

US or Europe could manufacture a car with these specs for $20k. Even with more expensive batteries.

Though the US/EU being slow at making $20k or $30k cars does mean there is this market opportunity for this in MX.

“I share the concern of most Americans that our economic, immigration and foreign policies are taking the country in the wrong direction. For these reasons, I am planning to vote for change and support Donald Trump for President,” Blackstone CEO Steve Schwarzman said in a statement to Axios.

This is an absolute lie for his reasons. During University protests, He and other Zionist hedge fund titans switched to Trump due to “rising anti semitism” as explicit reasons. He can’t say that out loud any more, but this is what powers Trump’s campaign. Netanyahu’s favorite. Biden failing to Kent State university protests is what makes them angry.

Holding what looks suspiciously like a modified red trident.
