Mark Holtom (aka Kingbeard)50,000 people killed by Israel in Gaza. Dutch @trouw.nl has the first part of the list of their names on its front page today. The list is ranked by age; these victims were all zero years old.

It is talking and writing about this that is causing people to be kidnapped by ICE off the street in the US.

Energy companies really hate small renewables. They love nuclear and fossil fuels. Why? Renewables can be deployed in decentralised ways. That hurts their bottom line as they get reduced to taking care of distribution through their grids. But they want to control the input, not the distribution. They have focused on centralising electricity generation. That way they can simply make more money. That's why they oppose or actively try to fight microgrid solutions. Decentralisation is bad for them.
