The public needs to educate themselves on “Capacity Factor”, especially considering the benefit of Green Energy. Solar and wind turbine energy generating sources are both limited due to their low Capacity Factor.
Example: When solar power is politically supported its peak power is claimed and advertised. I worked in power generation for 41 years. Our utility built a solar plant that claimed to be a 15MW. The 15MW is only possible in the summer days at high noon and no clouds in the sky. At night it generates zero power (no MW’s). At sunrise the power generation rises and loads and unloads at sundown. The power curve is similar to a sine curve. Solar power has a Capacity Factor less than 25%. One of our oil and/or natural gas boiler/turbine/generators had a peak capability to generate 550MW. It could do that 24 hours a day.
Wind power has a Capacity Factor that is typically between 20% and 50%, depending on wind speed consistency.
Neither solar nor wind is capable of following load demand, without doing so out of a power storage facility. I have not kept up with the technology development. I know that our solar power all went directly to the grid. It could not follow load demand.
This bill was signed in 2019 as one of the Mills administration’s first priorities and, unsurprisingly, none of the predictions came remotely true. A whole lot of people got paid, though.
Even in summer with our long days solar accounts for very little. According to my kid’s boss on the tuna boat, the off-shore windfarms are really messing with the whales, too. The “science” says they’re not, but he’s not seeing nearly as many as he’s used to, and the “science” is often after the same kind of green stuff the green energy companies are after.
And how does that help the American people get jobs?
Automation reducing labor costs by up to 30% does not guarantee jobs. It is just incentive for companies to move some manufacturing back without having to pay actual people.
The rest is a lot of talk of “high-skilled” labor.
“However, challenges like skilled labor shortages (despite an 83% rise in apprenticeships over the past decade) and rising imports from Asia could temper growth”
“Job Announcements (2024-2025): 88% of high-tech jobs; ~100,000 in 2024”
I guess per Trumps plans it is good for the company and H1B visa holders.
Four years of lawfare, with the help of novel legal theories, temporary lifting of statutes of limitations, victimless “crimes”, 34 felony counts one for each written check LOLLL, etc etc etc.
And we’re supposed to be so dumb that we don’t think the Biden coughcough administration wouldn’t have just gone through an easily achieved release of damning Epstein evidence against Trump LOLLL.
Read some Sherlock Holmes, learn about what it means that the dog didn’t bark.
Have you noticed a pattern over the last decade with all of the media hoaxes against Trump? In Holmesian terms (Sherlock, not John), this latest one with Epstein is a dog that didn’t bark when Democrats were in control of the federal government, with access to all of the Epstein files, while also doing everything possible to stop Trump, but for some reason didn’t release the damning information.

Because they were also involved. What is so hard to understand? Now that the Democrats are no longer in control, they are calling for full disclosure to make it look like they’re on the side of transparency, knowing damn well that nothing will come from it.
Epstein was working with intelligence and was likely under surveillance. I doubt anything in those emails will be truly damaging unless it was allowed to remain. Intelligence would have edited, removed, or destroyed whatever they considered sensitive way before public release. The released emails were held by the estate, it is safe to assume they were curated.
What Massie is pushing for is the release of everything.
You seem to believe you know an awful lot that isn’t publicly available.
What is publicly available is all of the information that indicates we’ve been financing our own coup through an ongoing color revolution for the last 10 years minimum.
Trump is currently systematically attacking the foundation of the soft power machine in observable ways from a variety of angles, and it’s entirely possible that releasing the files in their entirety would generate so much turmoil that it actually would be a national security issue.
I’d like the files to be released too, but I’m more concerned about the very real plans to destabilize society with mass migration, censor Americans by social media proxy, and entrench the vampire economy of Maine across the entire western world.
As it stands right now, Trump’s second term already ranks among the most impactful in history, and we aren’t even a year in.
