Via Ryan Reilly:

#Biden on the impact of #Jan6 on America’s standing in the world:

= TIME I said, “Well, America's back.” Macron looked at me and he said, “For how long? For how long?” And then Schultz said to me, “What would you say Mr. President, if tomorrow you pick up The London Times and found out that thousands of people stormed the British Parliament, broke down the doors, killed two Bobbies to prevent the implement—the swearing in of a, of a prime minister, a choice of prime minister?” And it made me realize just how fundamentally what he allowed to happen sitting in this room, looking at that television for three hours and didn't do a damn thing, said about America, and how much confidence people lost in America. There's not a, there’s not a...I’m gonna, say, be careful what I say...There's not a major international meeting I attend that before it’s over—and I've attended many, more than most presidents have in three and a half years—that a world leader doesn’t pull me aside as I'm leaving and say, “He can’t win. You can’t let him win.” My democracy and their democracy is at stake. My democracy is at stake. And so name me a world leader other than Orban and Putin who think that Trump should be the world leader in the United States of America.

    How an obscure energy calculation could dramatically speed up America’s future

    "After the phase-in ends in 2030, for EVs will be about 65% lower.

    Currently, one EV sale could offset around five gas-powered car sales on company ledgers, according to Burns. By 2030, when EV fuel economy ratings will be closer to gas-powered cars, he said the ratio will be more like 1:1.

    The final proposal will land at 28,996 Wh/gal in 2030."

    @CelloMomOnCars but a gallon of gas has 120,276 KJ (or 33.4 kWh)... Why is the conversion 13% lower? They're using some funny American math

    MPG I can understand, because it's dependent on usage.

    Maybe they changed the conditions where the energy was calculated. I really wish the article talked about that.

    "The head of the IPCC has compared the rollout of carbon capture and storage () to "trying to push water uphill," questioning a technology that the oil and gas industry has long touted as integral to net-zero emission plans.

    The International Energy Agency has previously called for the oil and gas industry to let go of the "illusion" that carbon capture is a solution to climate change, pushing instead for energy majors to ramp up investments in clean energy."

    So we should buy XOM stock and then vote in line with our interests? 😉
