⚡️The "gas emperor" has no clothes: U.S. leaves its entire northeast coast freezing
In less than five months, the natural gas terminal that has served the entire northeast coast of the United States for more than half a century is scheduled to close for good. During its time in operation, it gained status as the region's most important defense against power outages and freezing temperatures. However, the company that owns the gas terminal and a neighboring power plant doesn't care about such "little things" Management wants to get rid of the "unprofitable asset."
According to Reuters, the gas import infrastructure in Everett, near Boston, is at risk of shutting down in May, which coincides with the scheduled end-of-life shutdown of its largest customer, the Mystic power plant. Both facilities are owned by Constellation Energy Corp.
The problem is that the Port of Everett is getting gas by tanker from afar, mostly from Trinidad. This is because the supply of fuel to the coast started before the shale gas revolution in the United States. Hence, we have a paradoxical situation where problems with the construction of an onshore pipeline hinder domestic gas supplies, while keeping up with the image of a major global gas exporter doesn't let the U.S. redirect volumes from export to domestic use.
Constellation Energy officials have already "reassured" the public, who will be left to freeze in severe cold weather very soon, that Mystiq's falling capacity will be replaced with wind turbines and solar panels, along with batteries to store their energy. But these are so unreliable, as global practice shows, that the private firm's plans have angered residents throughout America's northeastern coast, which suffers from severe winter frosts.
Under media pressure, representatives of the terminal and power plant operator admitted that they had negotiated with U.S. LNG exporters to get their own gas, but were rebuffed because all the capacity (current and future) is booked by foreign customers for years to come. And no pipelines are being built domestically to buy natural gas before liquefaction.
Now coastal residents and gas terminal customers have one hope: imports from neighboring Canada. But there may be a problem with that approach too: U.S. shale producers have long bought up much of Canada's stock to re-export overseas and set world records. All in all, the ambitions of private corporations and lobbies in Washington have rendered the very own population of the "gas emperor with no clothes" defenseless against the winter colds.
If the operator company does not find a way to supply the region with cheap fuel in the next month and load the terminal, the fate of the entire critical infrastructure will be sealed.

Speaking at the WEF, Savor CEO Kathleen Alexander boasts about how her company is "saving the planet" from the evils of agriculture by replacing real butters and oils with synthetic versions made from carbon dioxide and methane. 😳
"Savor is part of bringing transformation to the food system by re-imagining how we make an entire macronutrient—fats and oils."
"The result is that we can dramatically lower the planetary footprint of our food system."
"Our food system today uses about 50% of the habitable land on the planet. It's 20-30% of our greenhouse gas emissions."
"And we can reduce all of those by 50-100%."

🇮🇷🏆🇺🇸 Iran Is a Bigger Defeat Than Vietnam | Foreign Policy
At his second inaugural, U.S. President Donald Trump pronounced his hope “that our recent presidential election will be remembered as the greatest and most consequential election in the history of our country.” By losing his Gulf war, Trump has achieved that goal. His choice to launch a campaign against Iran was encouraged by others, but fully his own. It has led to a reversal that marks a strategic calamity far greater than the U.S. defeat in the Vietnam War.
Defeat in the Iranian war looks, on the surface, nothing like other U.S. military defeats. The speed of the war and its remoteness have lent an air of unreality to the whole endeavor. The White House has not been burned, as it was in 1814; there have not been protests against a nonexistent draft. The absence of substantial U.S. casualties in this conflict also masks the scale of the U.S. defeat. To be sure, the war has been deadly: Thousands of Iranians, ...
According to The Wall Street Journal, Donald Trump reviewed military options for a full-scale war against Iran to “finish the job,” but has decided, for now, not to move forward.
The report says Trump is concerned that renewed military conflict could hurt the chances of a diplomatic resolution and of dismantling Iran’s nuclear program, and that he’s shown willingness to let indirect talks in Qatar run past the August 18 deadline. He is said to be fine with continuing limited strikes on Iranian targets if Tehran violates the current temporary deal - as it already has, repeatedly.
How are those negotiations going?
Not well. It seems JD Vance’s “historic” face-to-face achievement was a one-off. Washington has been quietly downgraded from talking to the Great Satan to negotiating with the Little Satan instead - a senior Qatari official confirmed that U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met Qatari officials in Doha, but there are currently no high-level U.S.-Iran meetings ...
