Yesterday, it was calculated the Kilo-Watt-Hours that California will need to just swap over its existing 15 million Fuel Power Vehicles, would be about 219,000,000,000 kWh a year.
That's 219 Billion more Kilo Watt Hours of Electricity a year than California can produce now, to even keep the lights on and the AC's running.
Given, this figure did not include the energy needed to mine, produce and install the infrastructure to support the charging of the Million EV's. Nor the related Hazmat waste generated pr the massive disruptions to their precious environment to install the cabling.
It begs the Big Question:
Where is the power going to come from?
Will California rebuild all the Dams and return to Hydro Power, and/or build or refuel the Nuclear Power plants? Both of which take 10+ years to permit and do?
Or will California ramp up Solar and Wind Power?
Or who will they steal it from?

Those last two lines are sick because they present reality of the eco-freaks.
Any one in Arizona, Nevada or Oregon better look out for new power lines that come from the land of fruits and nuts.

Both California and Illinois (and probably New York too) have only one plan for all their future needs: Socialism inflicted on everyone who lives outside their borders.

Electricity rationing for 'normals', nomenclatura full power 24/7

#1 eco-freaks don't have the ability to grasp that in any civil war scenario, all those lines and pipelines get cut and there is no way to protect the full hundreds/thousands of miles of them.

The two people left in the state by 2030 will have more than enough power. They can scoot around on shag carpet in their socks and shock their lights on.

Maybe Nevada and Arizona should build a few nuke plants. They'll cash in while California preens.
[IMDB] I watched this film this week on Tubi, where it is available with commercials. It also is available on Amazon with commercials.
Eternal Winter is a Hungarian film about female German emigres in Hungary who were sent by the Soviet Army beginning in the winter 1944 to Donetsk coke mines, 2000 kms to the east. They originally were told they would be sent to harvest maize, but instead they wound up in the Donbass area from 1944 to 1949, when they were returned to Hungary.
Viewing the film the director, Attila Szász, and the production designers Viktória Horváth and Zsolt Nánássy, set about setting the mood which was dark and desperate, as the female miners were worked like slaves, experiencing starvation and disease, dealing with their Red Army captors in their desperation. The mood that was set was ever present throughout until the very last moments of the film.
I have a semi personal connection to the people who were deported to and from Donbass, Back just before the fall of the Soviet Union I was exchanging mail with whom I later found out were teachers at a Jewish school in Kiev.
In that exchange a man who was deported from Donbass to Germany to work, got my address and mailed me. Looking back, the guy had to be someone from Ukrainian security services. I never asked though. We had another brief mail exchange in which he expressed his views which would have put him in good company with Lyndon LaRouche.
I came away from the exchange with the conclusion that his experience as a slave for Nazi Germany fried his brain. A tragedy to be sure, but considering the tenor of the times, it was good he could express his real political views freely.
Saying all the above to say this: the Soviets and now the Russians exported the costs they have for maintaining their dominance of the region. It would truly be good if a detached observer could conclude what they are saying about the region, that they are in earnest about how they have been treated by the Ukrainians.
But the truth is complicated. They have a right to speak their tongue, but then so do the Ukrainians. The Russian speakers in Ukraine have the right not to be attacked through military means, as they have suffered the last eight years. It has been a shit show since Lenin, and things haven't changed or improved since.
A writer of the following review was much harsher that I, saying:
One cannot deny that Eternal Winter is a moving journey, but Szász couldn’t get rid of certain stereotypes commonly associated with the genre. The film is unfussy but flat in tone, visually arresting but emotionally vacillating, ultimately dramatizing when confronting challenges and resolutions.The last section wastes most of the emotional gravity previously built, and when the tears begin to roll, it’s the indifference that settles. The predicaments are not in the script, co-written by Szász and Norbert Köbli, but in the approach.

All over Europe there are groups of people who have a home language different from the national tongue, whether local dialects or proper languages that are the result of border movements over the centuries. Mostly this is ignored by the authorities so long as official business and schooling take place in the national tongue, though Belgium and Switzerland have formally divided the nation into linguistic regions without reducing patriotic feelings. In the Ukraine, as in most of the former Soviet satellites, the issue of native Russian speakers is compounded by colonists from Russia who were settled there during the Soviet years and remained after Wall fell, some resentful at now being ruled instead of rulers. There was a similar problem with Germans and Volksdeutch in Eastern Europe after the Nazis fell— in those days solved by summarily expelling them with only what they could carry.
[Garowe] In an audacious appointment, Somalia's new government has included a former al-Shabaab ...... the personification of Somali state failure... bad boy, who once fought against the authorities, in the cabinet, but the weekend's deadly hotel siege is a reminder of the tough task ahead for those in power.
When Somalia's new President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud took office in May he declared a top priority was bringing an end to the country's 15-year Islamist insurgency.

The entire reason that these movements exist is that the governments involved are corrupt, murderous regimes that care nothing for their own people. These rebel movements do a better job governing than the government.
Killing them alongside innocent civilians with drones accomplishes nothing other than making people in comfortable First World countries feel good about themselves.

I swear I read about the Afghan army's daring move aimed at defeating the Taliban right here. 😸
This is all just drama to reel in the good ol' tranche payers of America and Europe. For the MIC to set up an ice cream cone that proceeds to lick itself, and leak money and arms to other sasquatch groups in Africa.
'Oh save the innocent dwellers of this shithole! Send your money! Send your weapons! Send your boys! Send your blood! We're just on the verge of winning against murderous moslemnity! By the way we're also moslems!'
[AlAhram] A battle for development to eliminate the sociocultural incubators of extremism is underway in Sinai along with a military battle to uproot the terrorist groups
The Egyptian approach to addressing regional threats holds that the Paleostinian question is at the root of the region’s problems and that any serious attempt to resolve it must treat it as such and avoid using other priorities, such as the Iranian threat, to circumvent it.
The first clause has been decisively disproved by President Trump’s Abraham Accords and related developments in quietly improved relations between Israel and certain other Moslem countries in the region short of signed formal peace treaties. But Egypt was not involved in those, making it look and feel less important in the world.
This does not affect the fact that Egypt opposes Iran’s regional behaviour, however. Tehran’s support for and utilisation as proxies of bully boy groups such as the Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
