We Don’t Need No Stinking Giant Fans
Two of Europe’s biggest energy companies are abandoning the SS Offshore Wind.
In May, Shell, the UK-based oil and gas giant (2023 revenue: $317 billion), announced that it was cutting staff from its offshore wind business because, according to Bloomberg, the company has decided to focus on markets that “deliver the most value for our investors and customers.” Bloomberg also reported that the staff cuts were made after the departures of top executives in the company’s offshore wind and renewable power businesses.
Last month, Murray Auchincloss, the CEO of oil and gas giant BP, imposed a “hiring freeze and paused new offshore wind projects.” According to Reuters, the new CEO is putting more “emphasis on oil and gas amid investor discontent over its energy transition strategy” and that BP (2023 revenue: $208 billion) was cutting investments in “big budget, low-carbon projects, particularly in offshore wind, that are not expected to generate cash for years.”
The moves by BP and Shell are only the latest examples of the troubles facing the offshore wind sector, which has been foundering on the shoals of higher interest rates, citizen opposition, and ballooning costs. Over the past year, numerous projects on the Eastern Seaboard, including Skipjack Wind in Maryland, Park City Wind in Connecticut, and South Coast Wind in Massachusetts, have been canceled due to bad economics. In all, according to data compiled by Ed O’Donnell, a nuclear engineer and a principal at New Jersey-based Whitestrand Consulting, about 14,700 megawatts of offshore wind capacity has been canceled. For comparison, about 15,500 megawatts of capacity is now in development, under construction, or operational.
Of course, those figures don’t jibe with the tsunami of hype about offshore wind energy that has appeared in major media outlets. But the hard reality is that America’s offshore wind sector is a subsidy-dependent industry that is dominated by foreign companies who are in bed with some of America’s biggest climate NGOs, including the NRDC (gross receipts: $555 million) and Sierra Club (Gross receipts: $184 million).

A company called Austin Private Wealth LLC shorted 12,000,000 shares of $DJT via a put option. The filing date is July 12th, the day before the assassination attempt.
They have around $1 Billion in assets under management and this is by far the largest put placed. According to a source the trade represents 6% of total shares and over 16%! of the float of the stock given the fact that Trump owns 60% of the company.
“A Reinvigorated Sense Of Purpose”
Armstrong Economics- Does a Near Death Experience Change You?
Many assume that near-death experiences completely alter a person’s views regardless of how devout they may have been. I can say after the attempt on my life that I survived, to their dismay, when I awoke from a coma days later; it did change me, but not in the way I have read that people assume. In my case, it took the fear of death from me rather than making me more devout and afraid of death. But it also strengthened me as I knew my purpose was to stand up and fight.

Blacklocks- Repeats “First Woman” Claim
“I am the first woman finance minister in Canada,” said Freeland. “That’s a fact.
“…I am the first mother who has ever been finance minister in Canada and I am sure that I have changed more diapers than any finance minister in Canadian history, probably maybe than 10 finance ministers together,” said Freeland.
“…None of them have nursed,” said Freeland. “None of them know what it is like to pump your breast milk at the office.”
Oh really?
Canada’s first woman finance minister was Dr. Bette Stephenson, a mechanic’s daughter appointed in 1985 to Ontario’s Progressive Conservative cabinet as deputy premier and finance minister by then-Premier Frank Miller. A mother of six, Stephenson was also the first woman elected president of the Canadian Medical Association.
…Stephenson died in 2019 at 95. Minister Freeland did not comment at the time.
Asking The Right Questions
New Rules
They were warned they wouldn’t like them.
There’s some controversy about this because it’s unpleasant. But here’s the thing. We’re betraying our own powerless people if we don’t use the power we have to protect them by making the side that imposed these new rules feel the costs.
We have tried reason. We have tried appeals to simple justice. They have failed. Now we need to apply punishment. They need to know there is a cost to this. If we fail to impose a cost on them for doing this because doing so is unpleasant, we have betrayed our own people and left them exposed. The left will not stop unless it has reason to. This is reason to.

Canada’s large pensions are facing rising losses from real estate investments, according to a sector report by Fitch Ratings Inc., which concluded that fund titans are nevertheless well-positioned to absorb near-term market swings.
The ratings agency said it has not seen widespread private credit losses, though defaults are likely to tick up for the remainder of this year and into 2025 given higher debt service burdens for underlying borrowers and slowing growth.
