Was aware, and have seen this excellent video before. It’s a scandal basing all prices for electricity off of gas. 

Gas = carbon fuel, limited resources, decreasing in availability and therefore will inevitably become more expensive.

 

Electricity = increasingly renewable, potentially limitless

 

Of course they base it on gas.

Well clearly, because they are assholes who only want profit and not use the nature of electricity generation as a means to guide public consumption.

Key US departments within the Trump administration have told staff not to comply with a Saturday email from Elon Musk's cost-cutting initiative asking what they accomplished in the past week.

The FBI, state department and Pentagon were among agencies that instructed employees not to answer the message.

Other department heads advised staff to comply, while some told workers to wait for further guidance before responding.

Musk said failure to respond by Monday at midnight would be interpreted as the employee resigning. President Donald Trump has yet to comment on the email.

The conflicting guidance caused confusion for hundreds of thousands of government bureaucrats as Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) task force leads an outside effort to aggressively reduce government spending.

 

Let the utter dysfunction commence.

With Trump now controlling the make up of the White House press it’s looking more and more like a watered down version of how the Nazis got total control of Germany. 
 

Frightening!

It’s looking increasingly like the split in the administration won’t be between Trump and Musk but between Musk and the Republican Party. They might have a Dominic Cummings situation on their hands.

The sooner they fall to infighting (if they do), the less damage they will cause and the better.

Yep. Measure it just as the price jumped due to local fluctuations...which then dropped back a week after 🤔

However, you will get price drops in Summer after the April measurement for sure.

 

And.... BP is the first of the UK lot to take up Trump's message.

I think CongressWoman Luna said it'd be at least a couple of weeks as they had located a large number of pages that were not filed into the last report completed in 1992. We will await and see I guess.

Trumps insistence on short-termism was always going to result in this type of shareholder led pivot, but we can only hope that history reports on their demise over the longer term.

Yep.

"I do wonder whether this sort of decision will look right in 10 years," added Sir Ian Cheshire, who has held many executive roles at companies such as B&Q owner Kingfisher and Barclays bank."

 

From the article I linked.

Apparently the problem and addressing it is not so straightforward as simply talking to governments more receptive to the idea, then. Not when you have someone like Trump not only ignoring what needs to be done but actively moving in the opposite direction and encouraging other big players to do so as well.

 

Simply ignoring him on this matter isn't going to help. Somehow, his viewpoint needs to be neutralised. (Or I guess things can go to hell in a handbasket and those who are left can deal with it then.)

It either will, or it will report on a much larger demise that will rightly be laid at the door of that very mindset.

Spoiler alert: it won't.

I am sure it can be laid at the feet of <migrants, bureaucracy, woke, left, etc> given the will to believe this most divisive of  rhetoric, whilst those mentioned weep over the corpse of science

For the time being, certainly.

 

But I'm pretty sure that when the worst has happened, the dust has settled and the bodies have been counted (if that's possible), those who remain will know what the score is and whose doors to knock on.

 

Cold comfort, I know.

That seems to be the prevailing attitude with World leaders and most politicians.

 

That seems to be the prevailing attitude of World leaders at present.

So it would seem, though there are some outliers (including, interestingly enough, the Chinese).

 

Of course, such an attitude is clearly unacceptable and should be acted against wherever and however possible.
