Key point is probably that the US is seeking to colonize the rest of south east Asia away from Indian influence. The obviousness of US decline, and Chinese market access benefits, would make any Asian country naturally inclined to partner with China, the same way Canada is forced to submit to US.

161grams = 5kwh+ of heat energy or close to 3kwh of electric only energy in a fuel cell.

For drones, ebikes, powerstations, this would be higher electric weight density than batteries. And solves ebike/powerstation charging on the go problem.

Unclear how much of this is wishful thinking, but unipolar hegemony must end.

Besides blanket tariffs that make everything more expensive, letting Americans buy less stuff, there will be job losses from retaliation, and less money to buy other stuff.

There is unlikely to be mass reindustrialization of the US in the face of low demand, and not being exportable products due to retaliatory tariffs. Deporting 10m people will harm housing and banking and tax revenue and other demand for stuff.

Accelerating significantly this year. If EVs take off in US, it is yet another massive source of battery support for grid, that can drastically reduce net cost of EV.

While wind is more expensive than solar, and has issues highlighted in article, the higher capacity factors, and production outside of midday, means less battery capacity is needed to serve renewables, and batteries get charged more often.

A key to bringing down transmission costs for wind, especially offshore where transmission is the highest cost component, is hydrogen production. Picking up H2, or refueling, by trucks and ships can provide cheaper energy than transmission lines. Pipelines are even cheaper with enough volume, and double as storage.

secret powder formula claims to be an air capture breakthrough.

Just as US has Israel first, CIA 2nd, loyalties from all politicians/media, all US democracy allies' candidates/media pledge allegiance to CIA/US empire.

Democracy is just a path for CIA dictatorship.

One of the best parts of the BRICS Summit is watching the Western media scramble to find excuses for why dozens of world leaders are in Russia this week, seeking to join the economic alliance that is presenting the biggest challenge yet to the West and its sanctions.

They act like Putin dragged his allies to Kazan against their will, and they can’t seem to understand why countries beyond the West still want to work with Russia and its wealth of natural resources.

But don’t forget… for every country represented at BRICS, no matter their current ties to the U.S., they still have at least some fear that at some point, they will become the West’s next target.
