Tonight’s PBS Newshour interview featuring astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore aboard the ISS concerned their unexpected extended stay on-orbit, what they’re doing, and handling home life from space. Their microphone handling was fun to watch, too. #pbs #pbsnewshour #nasa #iss

For context, remember that the US has a glut of fossil gas (aka methane or "natural gas"), and is currently producing more oil and gas per year than any country ever has.

"Within hours of taking office, President Trump declared a national energy emergency as part of his plan to push for more oil and gas drilling and to heavily boost fossil fuels." #PBSNewsHour

This is about pipelines for fracking products.

- Pulling out of Paris Climate accord is expected to take about a year.
- Using an impoundment act to withhold congressionally approved funding for #EV chargers and battery manufacturing. (Musk thinks this will hurt Tesla's competition more than Tesla.)

How much #SCOTUS and #Congress are just rubber stamps or puppets for the #GOP president, or cowards when it comes to him, will be tested.

Hachyderm.ioJohn Refior (@jrefior@hachyderm.io)Attached: 1 image The US has a glut of methane—aka “fossil gas” or its marketing term “natural gas.” This is because US production has increased so dramatically in recent years, thanks to fracking. https://www.eia.gov/dnav/ng/hist/n9050us2A.htm And US production is expected to keep growing "In our Annual Energy Outlook 2023 (AEO2023) Reference case, we project U.S. natural gas production to increase 15% and liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports to increase 152% between 2022 and 2050. We expect natural gas production to rise to 42.1 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) by 2050.” https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=56320 Short 🧵... — #FossilFuels #methane #FossilGas #NaturalGas #energy #EIA #climate #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming

The US public news show, #PBSNewsHour, had a good piece today on the current government of Aotearoa-NZ's attempts this year to roll back Māori rights, and the massive protests in opposition. It's good to see this story being covered in some depth internationally.
