@Sustainable2050 yes thats great BUT still a lot has to be done in terms of #storage and #solar #power is at least 12% (only?) of #China's #electricity usage btw #solar is #fusion in the #sky :D (for all #nuclear power Fans XD)

Why is it so hard to find numbers on that topic? State secret?

2022, solar power accounted for approximately 12% of China's total electricity generation according to ChatGPT

Some countries are lucky like #Sweden and #Norway (loads of #hydropower) others need invest

Fourteen days restraining order. Deputy Assistant Attorney General argues that the emergency is plaintiff's creation, & that the court has no jurisdiction. So we'll soon be able to add this as 3) CA federal judge: "Stop it." & they defy another court.

On Wednesday, during oral argument of the case, Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pennsylvania v. Casey, he had listened intently from his seat on the bench as Planned Parenthood's attorney, Kathryn Kolbert, began her argument:

"Whether our #Constitution endows #government with the #power to force a #woman to continue or to end a pregnancy against her will is the central question in this case.

It's compact, yet powerful, supporting up to 1/256 microstepping and 1A continuous current. Designed for low-voltage steppers, it maxes out at around 10V motor supply. We've included step and direction LEDs, a current adjustment pot that turns the right way, a 47µF bypass cap, and terminal blocks for power and motor control—making it super easy to use.

#MikePence also said he sees some of #Trump’s actions as sharp breaks from what he thought were the successes of their admin. That includes “wavering support for #Ukraine” in its war w/ #Russia & “marginalizing the right to life” that #Pence said followed #RFKJr’s selection as #HHS secy.

…watching Trump’s return to #power from the sidelines, Pence said he plans to make a public case on those issues—in part so that Trump might hear arguments those in his WH aren’t making.

#Musk is clearly imagining a future in which neither his network nor his will can be restrained by the people of this world. But even now, here on Earth, #space #internet is a big #business. Fiber networks cannot extend to every bit of dry land on the planet, & they certainly can’t reach airborne or seaborne vessels. More than 5 million people have already signed up for #Starlink, & it is growing rapidly.

Then, after considering the question further, McDowell realized there was a precedent, but only one: Sergei Pavlovich Korolev, the Soviet engineer who developed #Sputnik & its launch vehicle. “From 1958 to 1959, when no one else had any #satellites in orbit, Korolev was the only guy in town.” #Musk is not the only guy in town circa 2025, but the rapid growth of his #space-based network may represent a Sputnik moment of its own.

This fleet, which works to provide #space-based #internet service to the ground, dwarfs those of all other private #companies & #NationStates put together. And almost every week, #Musk adds to it, flinging dozens more #satellites into the sky.

Andersen recently asked the space historian Jonathan McDowell, who keeps an online registry of #Earth’s satellites, if any one person had ever achieved such #dominance over the orbital realm, & so quickly. “This is unique,”he said.

RE
against "real Americans"

#RusselVought WANTS "radical #constitutionalism" because of a century of corruption of laws and institutions by the political left

He THINKS the federal bureaucracy as "woke and weaponized" and advocates replacing it who the fuck knows

He is full of #racism #corruption #power

He wrote #Project2025 (with the #HeritageFoundation)

The comment came as #Trump remained adamant that he wanted to ship undocumented #immigrants out of the country & said it was inconceivable to hear millions of cases in #court, insisting he needed the #power to quickly remove people he claimed were murderers & drug dealers.

“I was elected to get them the hell out of here, & the courts are holding me from doing it,” he said.
