Now we get to the good stuff: More and more, we’re learning that ‘Green Energy’ may be renewable, but it’s not without its problems.
In April 2025, Spain and Portugal learned this lesson the hard way: For the better part of a day, their entire power grid collapsed!
So what exactly is the issue here with Green Power? As usual, it’s complicated…
And as usual, no one is really explaining the WHY of what’s going on.
Join me for Part 2 of a deep dive into the Green Grid!

While most people were distracted by China’s new flavors of AI, something even bigger was happening.
China’s EAST experimental fusion reactor ran at temps 6X hotter than sun’s core for almost 18 whole minutes, doubling its previous record.
Well, who cares??
You do! More people are realizing that current “Green Energy” push isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, and fusion reactors could provide nearly infinite energy with no radioactive waste.
But the most interesting thing is the curious link between AI and fusion, and what it says about technology itself…

I recently bought new Enegon batteries for the DSLR cam I use to make videos.
Unfortunately, one of them died on me the first time I used it.
This was particularly surprising given that the batteries got very good reviews on Amazon.

While many agencies and officials claim traditional cars are at higher risk of bursting into flames, we don’t seem to hear so much about them in the news.
Whatever the case, the fact remains that EV battery fires are VERY nasty.
So, question is: Why??
