Food. Food oils in particular.

It's a real thing in the sense that you can produce it sustainably in small quantities, kind of like how California is turning 40% of US soybean oil into diesel fuel, thereby displacing ~40% of the state's fossil diesel usage.

If we got rid of ethanol as a motor fuel in the US by electrifying passenger cars, we might be able to support 20% or so of current aviation using it.

In a very important way: they're afraid of constituent anger. Unlike a couple weeks back, they're now consistent about voting against Trump nominees.

Kinda sorta. It took about two weeks of constituent pressure to get the Democrats to start behaving like an opposition party. So the early nominees got a lot of Democrats voting for them.

So there were a lot of votes like this in the first week of February. At this point, the only Senate Democrat pulling this kind of stunt is Fetterman

A few Democrats are. Most are not.

A lot of people didn't even hear about project 2025. Even then, you had to be fairly plugged in to have heard anything more than his disavowal of it.

It's not even that; it's just that he talked to people whom he saw as peers who were able to tell him that things weren't how he thought. And he did it in a context where he had distanced himself physically from a community of people who were deniers.

They've already been explicit that it's 'gay' for a man to be in love with his wife.

That's why they're investing heavily in AI

Which is why it matters that people put pressure on Congress. They need to be more afraid of constituent anger than they are of a Musk-funded primary.

Destroying is a lot easier than building. You can do it illegally and without the consent of the governed.

The Musk/Trump administration has basically been ignoring the constitution on that

Congress needs to actively remove them.

It's amazing how that level of wealth disinhibits the part of a person's brain that would otherwise reject evil.
