This isn't just Catholic church thing. It's rampant in any religion, organization, hierarchy, etc. where the person on top of the totem pole demand obedience, they are insulated from outside accountability, and there is a culture of secrecy.

Go probe Ultra-orthodox Jews, Amish community, Quranic Schools. It's rife with sexual abuse.

This sounds insane.

I would disagree vigorously if the minister said they wanted to build coal power plants, but at least you can make the case for it under the guise of domestic energy security. But methane gas power plants? It doesn't help with climate goals, it's not cheap to purchase LNG and it doesn't help with energy security either.

Is she double dipping from US and Russian oil lobby?

I wonder why Ukraine doesn't want to reward Russia for invading their country.

Thank you American voters, who voted for Trump or sat out because the opposition wasn't "good" enough.

Sincerely,

Just a wild guess, but he's trying to have conservative government use this?

Because no self-respecting academia, money-hungry corporation, or nihilistic teenager is going to use Llama spewing out "both sides" garbage.

Apple is cooked. Not only are they going to get decimated in China, but they are going to see demand destruction in the US due to tariffs. And neither Trump nor Xi cares about Apple.

They've been spending tens of billions a year in their chip industry.

If EU really wants to hurt the US economy, then they need to start taxing/fining US tech service like Whatsapp, Netflix, Youtube, AWS, Microsoft Azure, etc.

For its part, Tesla has been trying to boost its image with the help of President Trump. On Monday, the president took to the South Lawn of the White House to promote Tesla's cars, apparently buying one despite having campaigned on an explicitly anti-electric vehicle platform.

Somehow, I don't think MAGA cult will buy electric vehicles in quantities needed to offset even a fraction of people who used to buy Tesla.

Russians will be back if they think they can win.

EU really needs to at least get off of American tech in government service. Our tax shouldn't be going into their pockets.

Feasible, yes. Practical, hard to say. Good idea, yes.

RISC-V is open-source architecture based in Switzerland (although it started in University of California).

One thing going for it is China is spending billions a year towards RISC-V adoption so they do not get sanctioned by the US. You need money and engineers working on it towards these type of open source to compete with existing players.
