Shouldn't we upgrade power grids able to take on another volt or 2 first? Grids around the world are constantly upgrading. Point is we're not ready to go green All the technology exists today, and the transition is already rapidly accelerating. And it's cheaper than fossil fueled electrical generation! Are you still stuck in a cave rubbing your two sticks together? Stuck in the past....

Surprise; another conspiracy lie from Icky. Fact Check: Was Trump Assassination Suspect Ryan Routh In BlackRock Ad? - Newsweek ...BlackRock, a repeat subject of conspiratorial theories, recently pledged financial support to Ukraine joining a group of investors committing $15 billion to the country's reconstruction, as reported by Quartz. However, BlackRock did not produce the video featuring Routh. Newsweek reached out to a BlackRock media representative via email for comment. The video was created in 2022, publicizing protesters demanding the safe evacuation of Ukrainian soldiers defending the besieged Avovstal Iron and Steel Works in Mariupol. The Associated Press photographed Routh at the protest in Kyiv's Independence Square on April 30, 2022. Other outlets covering the event also photographed Routh. Pizzagate conspiracy theorist Jack Posobiec posted a longer version of the video. Although Posobiec did not make the BlackRock ad claim, he did say the video was "propaganda for Azov battalion" and shared more of the original footage. The Azov Brigade rose out of the volunteer Azov Battalion, rooted in far-right and ultranationalist ideology. The fighters have been on the front lines fighting pro-Moscow separatists in Ukraine since 2014; the battalion's founders were accused of having neo-Nazi sentiments. The brigade's current members have rejected these ties, distancing themselves from the battalion's reputation since the outbreak of full-scale war in Ukraine in February 2022. The brigade is now a part of Ukraine's National Guard and has been lauded as one of the most effective fighting forces.
