A welcome turning point. While electricity consumption continues to grow in China, large scale deployment of renewable energy generation means that coal-based generation has started to decline.

Sonnet 022 - XXII
My glass shall not persuade me I am old,
So long as youth and thou are of one date;
But when in thee time's furrows I behold,
Then look I death my days should expiate.
For all that beauty that doth cover thee,
Is but the seemly raiment of my heart,
Which in thy breast doth live, as thine in me:
How can I then be elder than thou art?
O! therefore love, be of thyself so wary
As I, not for myself, but for thee wil…

In the two weeks since the U.S. and Israel launched strikes on Iran,
Donald Trump increasingly has been knocked on his political heels.
He’s grown more agitated with news coverage
and has failed to find a way to explain why he started the war
— or how he will end it
— that resonates with a public concerned by American deaths in the conflict,
surging oil prices
and dropping financial markets.
Even some of his supporters are questioning his pla…

“…what we’re witnessing is the express repetition of a project on the scale of the larger concentration camp systems in history—the Soviet Gulag, the Nazi concentration camps, and Chinese labor camps in the People’s Republic of China. The administration is actively aspiring to a system of that magnitude to reshape society to its racial, political and cultural preferences for generations to come.
This is not just a fantasy. It is something for which the administration has acquired the funding and a path forward. It lacks only the personnel and enough detention spaces.”

When Joseph Stalin took the stage, applause wasn’t just standard. It meant your freedom.
As the crowd thundered with cheers, no one dared to break first.
Not after two minutes. Not after four. Not after six.
As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn wrote in “The Gulag Archipelago,” “It was becoming insufferably silly even to those who adored Stalin.”
Finally, after 11 minutes, one man
— the director of a paper factory
— broke the spell.
And with that one act o…
