California to Impose Equity on Electricity

from Moonbattery:

Under absolute moonbattery, equity can be imposed on anything imaginable — even electricity:

California governor Gavin Newsom is standing by the state’s soon-to-be-implemented “equitable” policy to base electricity bills on income, rather than usage, even as public and political opposition to the idea builds in the Democratic coalition.

Mass immigration has successfully converted California to a single-party system. No Republican has been elected to statewide office since 2006. But even some other Democrats balk at Newsom’s radicalism:

Warning Of Summer Electrical Outages For Two-Thirds Of The U.S. From Biden ‘Green Energy’ Chaos Along With Expected Summer Storm Events

by Susan Duclos, All News Pipeline:

Summer officially starts on June 21, 2023 and with it comes some warnings about power outages, preparation, storm warnings, and spikes in electric bills as Americans try to stay cool on the hottest of days.

We’ll start with the energy costs, which according to the Energy Information Administration, will see a 2% increase from the Summer of 2022, on top of the increases seen in 2021-2022.  While that is an average, we note that New England states will see an approximate 11% increase from 2022.

Iran Has Quietly Been Enriching Uranium Stockpiles And Now Has Enough To Produce Three Full-Scale Atomic Weapons To Launch Against Israel

by Geoffrey Grinder, Now The End Begins:

There is a growing sense in Israel that Jerusalem is quickly running out of time to prevent Iran from becoming a regional nuclear power.

It has been a little while since we last did an article on anything going on in the terror state of Iran, there really has been that much interesting news coming out of that area. But just as it’s always dangerous when a little kid suddenly ‘gets quiet’, Iran has been quietly going into an uranium enriching frenzy. Right now they have 193 pounds of U-235 enriched to 60 percent, or enough mass to produce three full-scale atomic weapons. And it doesn’t stop there.

Lithium-Ion Batteries Burst Into Flames on Cargo Ship

from Moonbattery:

Finally, some good news where electric vehicles are concerned. These batteries were out to sea when they burst into flames, rather than in cars in sleeping family’s garages:

A cargo ship carrying burning lithium-ion batteries remained anchored off the coast of Unalaska Saturday, as marine firefighting experts continued responding to the situation.

The 410-foot Genius Star XI reported the fire to the Coast Guard early Thursday morning while traveling to San Diego, and was directed to Dutch Harbor, where it arrived Friday.

The ship remains two miles offshore, and a one-mile safety zone around the vessel is being enforced.

You can see why Chevrolet has warned customers to park their EVs 50 feet away from the nearest vehicle.

by Jose Nino, Big League Politics:

In the first week of June, China, Iran, Iraq, and Russia hammered out a series of agreements in the ambits of energy, logistics, and security.

From a big picture standpoint, China is using its multi-decade “One Belt, One Road” economic project to turn the Middle East, as Watkins noted, “into a large oil and gas station by which it can fuel its economic growth to overtake the U.S. as the number one superpower by 2030.”

Nord Stream Pipeline Bombing, One Year Later

by Harley Schlanger, LaRouche Organization:

With NATO moving to Plan B to fulfill their intent of breaking apart Russia, it is crucial that the reason behind it is made clear.  Seymour Hersh has provided part of the story — the Biden administration blew up the pipelines to prevent Germany from falling “under the sway of Russia.”  The deeper reason is rooted in the geopolitical doctrine of the British Empire, of acting to prevent a German-Russian alliance, which would threaten the power of the Anglo-American Unipolar Order.  German experts have offered a peace plan to end the war.

Biden Administration Rule Would Ban Nearly All Portable Gas-Powered Generators

from The Epoch Times:

After seeking to reduce the use of gas stoves, the Biden administration is pushing a proposal to ban the sale of almost all portable gas generators—which some experts have said would be disastrous for the millions of Americans who rely on such generators during power outages.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has proposed a policy (pdf) that would remove nearly all existing portable gas generators from the market. The new rule restricts the amount of carbon monoxide that generators can emit by forcing these generators to switch off when they reach a certain level of emissions.
