Renewable output could overtake nuclear power in a couple of years



On a global, full-year basis, accelerating renewable production looks like it will overtake the historically stagnant output of nuclear power in two to three years.

Frankly, when I started tracking global energy sources in 2004 I dismissed such a possibility out of hand. I was wrong. In 2016 the renewable energy sector produced almost 17 exajoules. If the same trend holds for the next decade as it did for the last one, the value proposition of nuclear power will be, um, "severely degraded."

The upside of the cool, rainy spring we've had here in Ottawa is lots of water droplets on the flowers.

The Lesser Northern Pineapple



I'm normally anaphylactically allergic to over-saturation. This time my wife, who has a much better eye than I do, convinced me to try boosting the sat of just the cones using a PS mask. I think it worked. Live and learn.

SIGINT, SIGINT - who's got the SIGINT?

Reince Priebus:

Sergei Kislyak was under surveillance by the NSA throughout 2016. The NSA has SIGINT on Reince Priebus resulting from this, that is extensive, and now in possession of the FBI.

However, in terms of foreign allies, Saudi Arabia has recent SIGINT on Reince Priebus. According to our impeccable sources, Mr. Priebus decided to ‘run’ when in Saudi Arabia. He panicked when he learned on Air Force One what the SIGINT gained from surveillance of Kislyak at the RNC amounted to. I exclusively reported there was a RICO case against the entire GOP as a body; this is because they accepted, via Reince Priebus, washed Russian money, sources say. The way in which this was to be laundered was recorded at the RNC, sources say. Saudi Arabian intelligence picked up a voice recording of a panicked Mr. Priebus, fresh off the plane, claiming he would seek asylum, sources say. He was under a UFAP warrant, sources with links to the U.S. Marshals report, and was immediately brought back to America under compulsion by Air Marshals who had been placed on Air Force One, these sources say, less than 24 hours later.

Mr. Priebus’s quick return was covered by a passive mainstream media who did no investigating into why he was brought home. I knew why Priebus had returned but withheld that report at the request of sources with links to non-US intelligence. I have now been granted permission and even encouraged to report everything relating to allied intelligence on Trump Russian suspects.

Well, that would explain a lot. Back in February, John Schindler tweeted this:
