Australia has greenlit three massive wind farms in New South Wales, adding 2.4 gigawatts of clean energy capacity, the country’s environment minister announced approvals for tilt renewables, 1300 megawatt Liverpool Range.
Squadron Energy’s 700 megawatt Spicers Creek and Inge 372 megawatt hills of gold projects. These renewable powerhouses will offset 6.5. Billion kilograms of carbon emissions yearly, a crucial step in Australia’s plan to become a green energy leader. The $838 million Liverpool Range Project will use fewer but more powerful turbines while Scroggins Energy, Spicer Creek development will power nearly 400,000 homes. Down in South America, Brazil’s president has signed landmark legislation authorizing offshore wind farms, boosting the country’s renewable energy strategy. The law creates incentives for wind projects in Brazilian waters while requiring consultation with coastal communities to respect local traditions already ranking six globally.
For onshore wind capacity, Brazil is strengthening its clean energy portfolio, which currently provides 80% of the nation’s electricity. The president specifically vetoed provisions that would have supported more polluting energy sources like coal and gas plants. Over in Europe, Portuguese renewable energy, giant EDPR is considering selling its 50% stake in ocean winds jointly owned with France Engie. The potential sale comes as EDPR aims to offset 550 million Euro losses in 2024, partly caused by suspended US East Coast projects following the presidential election. Sacramento, California based LCAP Technologies has landed a multimillion dollar contract from a leading wind energy company for its innovative ultra capacitor technology. LCAPs Ultra capacitor retrofit solution replaces traditional lead acid batteries in wind turbine pitch control systems.
The deal strengthens lockout’s position as a key supplier for renewable energy infrastructure as the global transition to clean energy accelerates.
Swedish company Ian has unveiled a groundbreaking wind turbine tower designed to support massive 6.4 megawatt turbines. The Innovative Tower has received official third party certification, foot to zoo, confirming it meets international quality standards engineered for Vestus fee 1 62 dash six.
Point four megawatt machines. The tower uses laminated veneer lumber instead of traditional steel and concrete. Avion is now adapting the design for series production with plans to construct towers reaching up to 219 meters that’s over 700 feet tall. The company’s modular wooden design offers two major advantages, significantly reduce carbon emissions and elimination of transportation challenges that plague traditional towers.

If you look this up, you’ll see that it’s correct. Eisenhower was a fierce advocate of the following:
- Infrastructure, e.g., the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, creating the 41,000-mile Interstate Highway System to improve national defense and commerce
- Social Programs, Social Security, minimum wage, the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare
- Fiscal Policy, lower taxes, a balanced budget, and reduced government regulation, aiming to limit federal intervention in local affairs
- Foreign Policy, nuclear deterrence and relying on the CIA for covert operations
- Civil Rights, desegregation of the military and the armed forces, support for the Brown v. Board of Education decision
Where the Republican Party Has Gone Since Eisenhower in the 1950s
My only problem with this is the U.S. Constitution, which clearly lays out the laws by which our elections will be conducted. I.e., it’s up to each of the 50 states to make and implement their own procedures.
Obviously, conspiracy theorists, at the direction of Newsmax and their peers, are convinced that there is a significant amount of voter fraud, but the fact is that there have been only a few dozen incidents of proven fraud out of the last one billion votes cast.
Yes, we could have an amendment could be proposed and passed into law that changes all of this, but until then, I’m going to support the U.S. Constitution, which has done right by the American people since its passage in 1789.
Yes, our atmosphere and our waterways will soon be seeing increasing concentrations of mercury, lead, cadmium, selenium, and arsenic, not to mention other neurotoxins like a wide array of radioactive isotopes, so that the Trump administration can placate billionaire donors.
But seriously, what are a few million agonizing deaths from these carcinogens compared with huge campaign donations?
