[ad_1] I am so sick of hearing about the Strait of Hormuz: But hear about it we must, since President Donald Trump has decided—in a fit of either prudence or provocation (why not both?)—that U.S. Navy ships will escort vessels through the strait to ensure safe passage. And if Iran interrupts this process, fresh terror will rain down. “Countries from all over the World, almost all of which are not involved in the Middle Eastern dispute going on so visibly, and violently, for all to see, have asked the United States if we could help free up their Ships, which are…

[ad_1] I came across a few news items that I could possibly write about today and couldn’t decide which to cover, so I will write about all of them, since they all relate to renewable energy. The first is a new study comparing direct air capture (DAC) to installing new wind and solar. This is a direct comparison between these two options, to see which provides the most bang for the buck. DAC involves taking CO2 directly out of the atmosphere in order to mitigate carbon release through burning fossil fuels. If this technology were sufficiently efficient it could be…

[ad_1] In one of the scariest moments in modern history, we’re doing our best at ScheerPost to pierce the fog of lies that conceal it but we need some help to pay our writers and staff. Please consider a tax-deductible donation. Chris Hedges Nothing illustrates the inversion of the international and moral order more than the genocide in Gaza and the shipment of tens of billions of dollars of weapons to Israel by Western nations, especially the United States, to sustain it.

[ad_1] Photo by Albert Stoynov There is one thread that holds the cloth of democracy together.  That is the Rule of Law.  For the most part, we take the rule of law for granted; we don’t give it a second thought, even though we rely on it constantly.  Yet, pull that thread, and the cloth of democracy frays and ultimately unravels.
