Our grid is so fragmented, we get crazy outcomes like this:
In some parts of the US, wholesale electricity prices are negative for ~25% of the year.

China currently has 1,200 coal power plants in operation and emits more CO2 than the US, India, Russia, Japan, Mexico, Germany & Canada COMBINED.
The WA State Climate Commitment Act is a scam- meant to funnel our tax dollars to NGO’s who donate back to Democrat war chests.

Nope. Never going to happen.
Putin’s envoy has promised to connect Russia and the United States with a tunnel
Kirill Dmitriev announced the signing of an agreement on a tunnel between Chukotka and Alaska.
“This will be one of the major infrastructure projects between our countries,” he said.

Not happening. Politically or operationally.
A massive political schism is opening in Europe. While Brussels pushes for total energy decoupling, Germany’s leading opposition party has just bypassed the government to hold direct talks with Gazprom on restarting the Nord Stream pipelines. 🇷🇺🇩🇪🇪🇺

Translation. Everything we purchase is going to continue us to get more expensive.
Trucking spot rates have never moved up this fast, ever - including early COVID.
The weekly average for truckload spot rates moves to a new all-time high of $3.71/mile.
It took 43 weeks for spot rates to increase by $1.38/mile during early COVID (April - Feb 2021).
It has taken only 29 weeks to achieve the same increase (Nov 2025 - June 2026).

During GAIN's webinar hosted in May, GAIN Advisor @BAMcCown notes that Europe’s willingness to embrace pipelines as critical infrastructure has helped give its energy sector a competitive edge over the United States. Amid global instability and rising energy prices, the United States must prioritize pipelines and the expansion of domestic energy infrastructure.

And we’re live in #Dallas with my good friend @JimRayInfra as he kicks off the US #infrastructure Development Conference by saying what we’ve built today has always started with the Dreamers and Doers.
‘Without infrastructure our cities and country cannot project fairness and can’t sustain the economic engine to do great things.’
Jim made too many fantastic points to make in this post, he is encouraging us all to dream big once again. “If not us, who? If not now, when?”
