Lots of things. But this is a cross post from a climate community.

To the extent they have the votes. Impeachment and removal means getting Republicans to vote for it

What's actually working for transport is battery-electric. About half the heavy trucks in China sold in the past few months have been done like that.

My expectation is that we'll see solar to hydrogen used for decarbonizing the chemicals industry, but not much else, largely because batteries have gotten so cheap and so energy dense.

That sadly doesn't work terribly well (we burn a lot of methane producing fertilizer for the corn) and doesn't scale up to the world.

Um what? Self-hosting search that actually covers the internet requires way more resources than people are likely to have. There are things you can self-host, but global internet search is not one of them.

This is what happens when companies are incentivized to turn on data centers fast above any kind of environmental protection or efficiency goal.

You clearly need to buy mummies whose blessings and curses were written and wrapped along with the body using serif fonts.

Returns on their billion dollar bribe

Water that salty is corrosive. You can't just use it for datacenter cooling (or running a power plant) without removing the salt at considerable cost. It's cheaper to bribe politicians to transfer fresh water into their use than it is to desalinate that and use it.
