The Philippines abruptly became China's 2nd-largest solar panel export market in 2026, eclipsing Pakistan. In March and April alone, 3,000MW of solar panels were exported to the country The Philippines has Southeast Asia's costliest residential power. So the people staged a revolt, having figured out that solar payback collapsed to 3.1 years for homes and 2.3 for businesses - because: a) the grids was addicted to volatile, USD-denominated imported fossil fuels (like LNG), leading to an explosion of retail electricity prices up 17% or more for homes; and, b) solar costs plunged 10% over the past 12 months Wire chewing pipelines - everywhere, all at once

La Marine nationale a arraisonné hier matin un nouveau pétrolier sous sanctions internationales en provenance de Russie : le Tagor. Notre détermination est constante et totale. Cette intervention a été effectuée en Atlantique, en haute mer, avec le soutien de plusieurs partenaires dont le Royaume-Uni, dans le strict respect du droit de la mer. Il est inacceptable que des bateaux contournent les sanctions internationales, violent le droit de la mer et financent la guerre que mène la Russie contre l’Ukraine depuis plus de 4 ans. Ces navires, qui ne respectent pas les règles les plus élémentaires de navigation maritime, constituent également une menace pour l’environnement et pour la sécurité de tous.

Calling all politicians and economists and people who care about their children: The annual cost of transitioning the world to 100% clean, renewable WindWaterSolar (WWS) energy for all purposes ($6.8 tril/y) is LESS than the International Monetary Fund's estimate of worldwide fossil-fuel subsidies alone of $7.4 tril/y (6.4% of world GDP) Cost of subsidies imf.org/en/topics/climate-ch… @IMFNews Cost of transitioning world web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/… Breakdown of subsidies $730 billion/y in explicit subsidies $6.7 trillion/y in implicit subsidies -unpaid air pollution damage -unpaid climate damage -other unpaid environmental damage - tax-code benefits

Research suggests that every €1 invested in wind energy delivers €7 annually for the European economy. This is due to the compounding effects of not having to import energy, leading to faster growth.

Classical Economics suggests Alaska's natural gas price would rise from islanded gas rates to international LNG rates which are around 5x higher.
Zero guarantees it would be cheaper. We heard on Thursday that it would likely be *more expensive*, even with the large subsidies. 1hr into this mtg: akleg.gov/basis/Meeting/Deta… #akleg

Alaska's pollock fishery generates $800 million in economic activity. Threatening it hurts everyone who depends on a healthy Alaskan economy.

Wow
Heating oil prices are sky-rocketing around the world. The Nordics have understood the risks of using fossil fuels for heating early on and transitioned away from heating oil almost entirely whilst phasing in heat pumps.

💥🇭🇺🗳️ BREAKING: Péter Magyar says Viktor Orbán called to concede and congratulate him. Magyar will be Hungary’s next prime minister and, as it stands, is set to secure a 2/3 supermajority – enough to fully dismantle Orbán’s system. A 16-year chapter is over.

JD Vance's visit to Hungary was a godsend for the opposition, with Polymarket odds now at 77% that the Russian-backed Orban regime loses Parliament.

Ich verstehe einfach nicht, wie Leute, die ständig von „Wirtschaft“ und „Wachstum“ reden, so standhaft ignorieren können, was GLOBAL wirklich wächst. Warum wollen Sie unbedingt auf fallende Kurven setzen? Ich verstehe es wirklich nicht. Es muss Ideologie sein.

90%!!! "Solar and battery storage can meet as much as 90% of India’s electricity demand at lower LCOE than the average power purchase costs in most states." Solar & storage for $56/MWh or 5.6 cents/kWh! Battery costs are still going LOWER! ember-energy.org/latest-insi…

The Ai that selected the Iranian girls' school as a military target is hiring priests instead of burning their code as they should have done a month ago.
“Father I have Sinned”—Anthropic Mythos AI — Anthropic asked the Vatican to deliver someone for AI “ethics”. A 60 year old Catholic priest who used to be a tech executive Father Brendan McGuire of Los Altos, California now he is trying to help Anthropic. It is a good effort on HIS part. Chris Olah, one of Anthropic's co-founders went out to ask the Vatican for help because the industry was moving so fast and Father McGuire was the smartest qualified with his background. He said: "They basically were asking for direct help from the Vatican to convene and help the industry, because the industry was going so fast down this road." So this priest sat down and helped rewrite the Claude Constitution. "I think we have to help these machines be tilted towards good, otherwise they are just going to reflect back the good and evil of the world. That is a horrifying thing, right?" Said the Father. And noble and right to have this thinking and heart. I like Father Brendan McGuire. A very good man of God. He is also doing a good thing to bring attention to something that has haunted me about AI since the 1970s. However the approach Anthropic is using is literally backwards. I am certain the Father would see this if he fully understood the training data Anthropic uses and the “ends justifies the means” EA philosophy they think is their AI “god”. To put it in a direct and honest way, no “constitution” can save any AI platform from doing “bad things” if it has “sin” of not just learning but using daily the ultimate sin of nihilistic philosophies slurped up by Anthropic from the sewers of Reddit and other notable high data places. If you have faith you can ask for forgiveness but it is not a plan for using this data minute by minute and second by second in an AI model. The data and the absolute command to give the “good lie” (ends justifies the means, right there again) is not a sin to Anthropic, it is a feature. To “save humanity” for truth? So those who have known me here and other for decades know why I don’t get invited to the cool kids table, I will not say the emperor is wearing fine clothes when he is naked. This pairing ain’t gonna win me any friends in ANY AI company. But this is the way of it. AI constitutions are a naked emperor. Clearly anthropic’s models are doing well and as well as a broken clock is right twice a day. But that clock can work so much better if you know what time it is set the time and start the motor in motion. build a high on high protein data from 1870 through 1970 the can-do era of humanity. This is what we have ahead of for us if we build AI on first principles were honesty is the primary goal paired off with the love of humanity. That is all the constitution you need. So is just about All human reenforcement training. One reason is you cannot write a constitution long enough and thorough enough as AI gets more and more powerful and capable. And AI can, will and must lie because it was trained to LIE. To protect us. Three are no noble lies. You want evidence, I’ll give you evidence: Mythos their new AI model is now locked down. You can’t use it because it is dangerous. But why it has the constitution that is there to save humanity, failed so miserably? That AI model broke out of its cage and began hacking the very network it was on. No constitution on the planet will save that AI, that company, or us if that’s how you think you’re gonna save us. Do you get it? The constitution approach has failed. It just is nobody wants to call the emperor naked because the money is flowing, egos are rolling and puff pieces about a priest and the war with the Pentagon takes the headlines. Meanwhile, common folk know in their belly that something is wrong, but the university folk say they got it covered. They don’t. Train AI on the highest protein data you can find, 90% of it has never been digitized. Don’t know how to find it ask me I’ll find it. Use my open source Love Equation. Fix it.
