🚨 GAS LINES IN CHINA - Grok has verified that the video below is real: Thousands of Chinese drivers lining up at gas stations to fill their tanks before major price increases go into effect. This is what things looked like in the US lduring the oil shocks of 1973 and 1979 when gas was rationed and drivers could only gas up on alternate days based on the last number on their car's license plates. This is what US drivers no longer have to worry about thanks to the #Shale Revolution and #Trump #EnergyDominance agenda. Be grateful.

🚨Celebrate! The EPA Endangerment Finding is Dead! In a moment of unbridled glory yesterday, President Donald Trump and EPA administrator Lee Zeldin formally announced the rescission of the 2009 Endangerment Finding by the Obama EPA. ⚡️The Washington Post called Obama's move a "massive overreach," and they're right. ⚡️Zeldin said the rescission is something only Trump would do, and he's right. ⚡️The White House press office says the rescission will “unleash a new era of American prosperity,” and they’re right. ⚡️Trump said the Endangerment Finding "had no basis whatsoever in law," and he's right. ⚡️They're all right: Obama's finding that CO2, aka, plant food, is a "pollutant" to be regulated under the Clean Air Act, amounted to a legal abomination. Everyone knew it from Day 1, but most lacked the guts to say so publicly. ⚡️It should have been rescinded long ago, before it allowed EPA to cost the U.S. economy trillions of dollars with a vast array of heavy regulations. Trump finally got it done. Because he's the only political figure of our time willing to absorb the smears, attacks, and avalanche of lies from the climate activists and their media enablers. God Bless him. This is a day to celebrate. U.S. EPA Lee Zeldin Donald J. Trump #endangermentfinding #CO2

🚨 WATCH: Energy Secretary Chris Wright tells the International Energy Agency gathering: IEA Must Focus on #Energy, not impossible net-zero goals. Some highlights: ⚡️ Speaking before a scowling IEA Chief Fatih Birol, Secretary Chris Wright called out the organization to its face at its annual gathering on Wednesday, saying "we need to have the IEA focused on energy data and bettering lives" instead of pushing an energy transition that is not happening. ⚡️ "I commend Director Birol, after five years of not having a single scenario in the IEA World Energy Report connected to reality, to re-insert the current policy scenario in last year's report. That is a step in the right direction. That's just an approach towards reality again," Wright said. ⚡️ In an interview with Bloomberg prior to the event, Wright said the IEA will either continue to reform itself in the right direction, or the US will end its membership. That repeated a threat he made last summer, after which Birol and his team moved to reform its modeling process. ⚡️ Wright also laid out a firm warning to leaders of European nations, saying, "If the European industrial powers want to continue to become former industrial powers, that's your choice. I don't think it's a great choice, but that is your choice. But that is politics. That's not relevant to the global energy system or to better people's lives." This is what firm leadership looks like. Here's the full text of Wright's remarks in the video clip below: This organization has been pushed off course, and for five years published energy scenarios going forward, none of which had any relevance to reality. They were all just based on climate ambitions, politics, local domestic politics, do whatever you want. If the European industrial powers want to continue to become former industrial powers, that's your choice. I don't think it's a great choice, but that is your choice. But that is politics. That's not relevant to the global energy system or to better people's lives. We need to have the IEA focused on energy data and bettering lives. Every report has a net zero 2050 case in it. There is a 0.0 chance of the world hitting net zero 2050. 0.00%, and the attempt to do it, so we shouldn't worry about it, it's not going to happen. The attempt to do it has only had one impact. It's we've spent over $10 trillion to add 2.6% of global energy from wind, solar, batteries, and all the extra transmission infrastructure combined. And everywhere it's deployed in reasonable penetration rates is developed higher electricity prices. We've seen in the US, every state within the renewable portfolio standard, on average, 50% higher electricity price than the other states that didn't adopt that. We don't want to move industries out of Europe. We don't want to make life more expensive and impoverish our people. We don't want to have two million people still dying because they don't have clean cooking fuel. We want to better energize the world. That's what IEA was founded for. That's we want the IE to do going forward. And I want to get the other support of all the nations in this noble organization to work with us to push the IEA to drop the climate. That's political stuff. Let that be done at the government level. This organization should be about energy, energy security, and improving lives. I commend Director Birol after five years of not having a single scenario in the IEA World Energy Report connected to reality to re-insert the current policy scenario in last year's report. That is a step in the right direction. That's just an approach towards reality again. But together, we can move the organization and must move the organizations back to what energy should always be about, which is humans and math. We only produce energy to better people's lives. The United States is all in on this trajectory. We are driving the growth of every affordable, reliable, secure energy source we can. For ourselves, for our allies, for friends, we want to partner with you to do all the same. Greatness. Watch:

🚨Tiresome climate scold Al Gore exposes himself yet again in the video here. In the clip, Gore claims the “doomsday predictions from climate scientists 20 years ago were proven dead right” - so we should trust them EVEN MORE now. He doubles down: “It is inevitable that we’re going to see Greenland go and the west Antarctic ice sheet go.” But none of that is true. In fact, Gore has been wrong about literally everything for two solid decades. Here’s the inconvenient truth about Gore’s always wrong predictions: • 2006 (An Inconvenient Truth era): “We have reached the point of no return” within 10 years (i.e. by 2016) unless we take “drastic measures.” But 2016 came and went. No point of no return. Business as usual. • 2006: “Within the decade there will be no more snows of Kilimanjaro.” But 2016 arrived. Lots of snow is still on the mountain. It remains there today. • 2009 (Copenhagen speech): “75% chance” the entire North Polar ice cap would be gone during summer months within 5–7 years (by 2014–2016). But those months came and went and Arctic ice is still there every summer. So, given that inconvenient reality, Gore did what climate scolds to best - he kept moving the goalposts: • 2008: Ice-free Arctic by 2013. • 2009: Pushed it to 2014. • Repeated variations for years - the shipping industry is still waiting for the ice-free passage. Meanwhile the U.S. enjoyed the longest stretch without major hurricane landfalls in recorded history right after Gore’s “super-hurricanes” panic. Gore’s batting average on doomsday: 0-for-everything. Yet here he is in 2026 demanding we treat his failed prophecies as gospel. Share if you’re as weary as I am of the incessant grift. #ClimateScam #AlGore #InconvenientBS

🚨Port Arthur Refinery explodes into flames An explosion rocked America's 9th largest refinery (cap.: 369k bbls/day) operated by Wilmar Pedraza late Monday afternoon, forcing employee evacuations and shelter-in-place orders for nearby neighborhoods. Here's what we know: ⚡️The explosion occurred in a 243-Diesel hydrotreater unit capable of producing about 47,000 bpd of the universal commercial transport fuel. ⚡️The refinery remains shut down Tuesday morning pending investigation and inspections. ⚡️Luckily, no major injuries were reported and all personnel are safe, though some of the plant's 770 employees suffered minor injuries. ⚡️The Valero plant specializes in the processing of heavy sour oil into gasoline, Diesel and jet fuel. ⚡️Key to note: The plant has served as the main destination point of Venezuelan crude coming into the U.S. since the deposition of former dictator Nicolas Maduro. ⚡️Until Port Arthur can be reopened, those cargoes will need to be re-routed to other, similarly tooled refineries in Lake Charles, Houston, and Corpus Christi. ⚡️Yet to be determined: This *could* cause further tightening in the Diesel market along with some minor price increases. Bottom Line: Refinery fires always create catastrophic-looking videos like this one, but few really evolve into catastrophic events. That's the case here: The Port Arthur Refinery fire will cause some minor displacements as repairs are made, but the market impacts will be small. Give a word of thanks that everyone is safe. #oil #refining #portarthur #Valero #diesel #gasprice

🚨 Wind is Not the Clean Energy it is Sold to be. Wind #energy has been sold to an unsuspecting public as a clean, renewable source of unending energy. But that isn't true. In fact, the building of an average wind industrial installation consumes vastly more CO2 producing raw materials per kwh than any other power source in use today. Ever wonder what really goes into building a wind turbine, its tower, and its foundation? This brief video does a great job of giving you the details, and they are neither pretty nor clean. Text: Compared with conventional technologies, wind power requires vastly more raw materials for the same installed capacity, up to 15 times more concrete, 90 times more aluminum, and around 50 times more iron, copper, and glass. Each two megawatt turbine uses about 1,700 tons of material, around 1,300 tons of concrete, nearly 300 tons of steel, plus iron, fiberglass, and copper. The foundation alone uses hundreds of tons of concretes. Concrete is one of the world's largest CO2 sources responsible for 8% of global emissions. Then there are the rare earths. Just one ton of rare earth elements generates 2,000 tons of toxic waste. Worse still, all of this ends up in landfill every 15 to 20 years, with the entire process repeated. Wind is not the clean energy it is sold to be. #windenergy #toxicwaste #rareearthminerals #steel #concrete #CO2 #falsenarrative
