Cheating - and that’s what commissioning power generation without a permit is - is no way to get ahead in businsss. People don’t trust the AI industry, and acts like this substantiate their suspicions. nytimes.com/2026/09/23/nyreg…

The data don’t support the assertion being made by the U.S. & Qatar. It’s a patently false claim targeted at undermining responsible gas production/use. European policy makers who care about energy security & sustainability shouldn’t be fooled or bullied. giftarticle.ft.com/giftartic…

Reducing methane is one of the fastest, cost-effective ways to slow near-term warming. Transparent data & effective regulations can help the energy sector cut emissions & advance progress toward the Global Methane Pledge.🎯 @fionaharvey / @guardianeco: theguardian.com/environment/…

Yesterday’s rallies were law abiding, taxpaying US citizens like me protesting the autocratic actions of this Administration and the failure of Congress under Speaker Johnson’s leadership to its job. That he thinks otherwise shows how out of touch he is. on.ft.com/4orxWEe
