BREAKING NEWS:

China’s energy fortress was built to withstand just this type of oil shock

Beijing — For more than a decade, leader Xi Jinping has overseen a transformation within the Chinese economy with one aim: making it energy-secure. Under that vision, China has unleashed a renewable energy revolution of wind, solar and hydropower, drilled ever deeper into oilfields offshore and on, and forged pacts with partners for more supply – all in a bid to cut the country’s reliance on imported fuel and insulate it against “external shocks.”

Now, the historic oil crisis triggered by the United States and Israel’s war on Iran is posing the sternest test to date of China’s Promethean effort toward energy self-sufficiency. It’s a test that China appears to be passing. While fuel-strapped countries across Asia have scrambled for supplies, China – the world’s largest energy importer – has been sitting on vast stockpiles of oil, an industrial sector largely run on domestic energy and a fleet of cars increasingly powered by electricity, not gas.

For China, the ability to weather the energy shocks from the weeks-long war “is sort of a vindication of everything they’ve done to enhance energy security,” said Erica Downs, a senior research scholar at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University. “There’s a lot they can look back on and say, ‘We made the right call.’” ...

This picture is so easy to see, any dumb-dum idiot can see the reasoning in all this. THE HOLLY F'n DOLLAR. Or should I say THE FUTURE HOLLY CHINESE WUAN, This is China's opportunity to be the central industrial country of the world, using green energy to turn the wheels of industry. Not so much to save the environment as it is to gain superiority, and BOY will they have it. While we are dead in the water with no power to run our industry because we were addicted to the biggest thieves of all, the BANDITOS, the oil industry. Like blood suckers squeezing every ounce of blood from us,

Airlines are about to run out of jet fuel because of the Iran war

Thought the summer travel season was looking bad? Brace yourself: It could get even worse. On top of higher airfares and fees because of the war in Iran, airlines in Europe and Asia, many of which depend on imported jet fuel, are now facing a potential shortage, raising the odds of flight cancellations and schedule cuts.

The US is in no immediate danger of running out of jet fuel, but the global shortage is driving up fuel prices for US carriers. They are cutting back on cheap airfares and less profitable flights, a move that’s likely to drive up airfares for US travelers particularly in the summer months...

Trump purges his Cabinet as his presidency faces mounting pressure

The ousting of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is the latest sign of a president whose second term has not gone as planned — and who is starting to make his Cabinet pay for it.

Three Cabinet secretaries gone in four weeks. For President Donald Trump, the purge has begun.

On Monday afternoon, Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer became the latest to be shown the door. The White House announced the embattled Cabinet member would leave the administration effective immediately, with Deputy Secretary Keith Sonderling named acting secretary. It comes less than a month after Kristi Noem ended her tenure as secretary of homeland security and weeks after Trump pushed out Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Shortly before news of her departure broke, Chavez-DeRemer — whose time at the Labor Department was mired in controversy — was summoned to the White House, a source familiar with the matter who was granted anonymity to speak candidly told MS NOW.

There, the secretary was given an ultimatum: Resign or be fired, a White House official told MS NOW. She took the first option, putting a bookend on a tumultuous tenure marked by investigations of misconduct and allegations of a toxic workplace.

Chavez-DeRemer’s resignation notably came days before she was scheduled to sit for an interview with the Labor Department’s Office of Inspector General, one of the sources said...

Who was Sir Isaac Brock, and why does Carney have his statuette in the Prime Minister's Office?

Celebrated general is a reminder Canada has beat the Americans and 'can do it again': official

Prime Minister Mark Carney stunned some Canadian historians over the weekend when he released a pointed video message about the U.S. featuring a War of 1812 general who led the charge against the American invaders of that era.

For the first time Sunday, Carney publicly disclosed that he takes daily inspiration from Sir Isaac Brock, a foundational figure in Canadian history who expertly prepared Upper Canada for a possible U.S. invasion and then defended the territory against the marauding American forces when they eventually marched north.

A spokesperson for Carney said comedian Mike Myers gifted him a figurine of the general during the last election — the day they filmed that now infamous "elbows up" campaign commercial — and Carney, a history buff, has since given it a prominent place on his desk at 80 Wellington St...
