“Carbon neutral” Bitcoin operation founded by coal plant operator wasn’t actually carbon neutral

I'm at DEFCON! TODAY (Aug 9), I'm emceeing the EFF POKER TOURNAMENT (noon at the Horseshoe Poker Room), and appearing on the BRICKED AND ABANDONED panel (5PM, LVCC - L1 - HW1–11–01). TOMORROW (Aug 10), I'm giving a keynote called "DISENSHITTIFY OR DIE! How hackers can seize the means of computation and build a new, good internet that is hardened against our asshole bosses' insatiable horniness for enshittification" (noon, LVCC - L1 - HW1–11–01).

Water is wet, and a Bitcoin thing turned out to be a scam. Why am I writing about a Bitcoin scam? Two reasons:

I. It's also a climate scam; and

II. The journalists who uncovered it have a unique business-model.

Here's the scam. Terawulf is a publicly traded company that purports to do "green" Bitcoin mining. Now, cryptocurrency mining is one of the most gratuitously climate-wrecking activities we have. Mining Bitcoin is an environmental crime on par with opening a brunch place that only serves Spotted Owl omelets.

Despite Terawulf's claim to be carbon-neutral, it is not. It plugs into the NY power grid and sucks up farcical quantities of energy produced from fossil fuel sources. The company doesn't buy even buy carbon credits (carbon credits are a scam, but buying carbon credits would at least make its crimes nonfraudulent):

https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/31/carbon-upsets/#big-tradeoff

Terawulf is a scam from top to bottom. Its NY state permit application promises not to pursue cryptocurrency mining, a thing it was actively trumpeting its plan to do even as it filed that application.

The company has its roots in the very dirtiest kinds of Bitcoin mining. Its top execs (including CEO Paul Prager) were involved with Beowulf Energy LLC, a company that convinced struggling coal plant operators to keep operating in order to fuel Bitcoin mining rigs. There's evidence that top execs at Terawulf, the "carbon neutral" Bitcoin mining op, are also running Beowulf, the coal Bitcoin mining op.

This is a very profitable scam. Prager owns a "small village" in Maryland, with more that 20 structures, including a private gas station for his Ferrari collection (he also has a five bedroom place on Fifth Ave). More than a third of Terawulf's earnings were funneled to Beowulf. Terawulf also leases its facilities from a company that Prager owns 99.9% of, and Terawulf has *showered * that company in its stock.

So here we are, a typical Bitcoin story: scammers lying like hell, wrecking the planet, and getting indecently rich. The guy's even spending his money like an asshole. So far, so normal.

But what's interesting about this story is where it came from: Hunterbrook Media, an investigative news outlet that's funded by a short seller – an investment firm that makes bets that companies' share prices are likely to decline. They stand to make a ton of money if the journalists they hire find fraud in the companies they investigate:

https://hntrbrk.com/terawulf/

It's an amazing source of class disunity among the investment class:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/08/money-talks/#bullshit-walks

As the icing on the cake, Prager and Terawulf are pivoting to AI training. Because of course they are.

Good News - April 8-14

(Actually 8-12 due to irl obligations)

Like these weekly compilations? Support me on Ko-fi! Also, if you tip me on here or Ko-fi, at the end of the month I'll send you a link to all of the articles I found but didn't use each week - almost double the content! (I'm new to taking tips on here; if it doesn't show me your username or if you have DM's turned off, please send me a screenshot of your payment)

1. Interior Department Finalizes Action to Strengthen Endangered Species Act

“These revisions, which will increase efficiency by reducing the time and cost to develop and negotiate permit applications, will encourage more individuals and companies to engage in conservation benefit agreements and habitat conservation plans, generating greater conservation results overall.”

2. Young Puerto Ricans Restore Habitat Damaged by Hurricane While Launching Conservation Careers

“Corps members help restore the island’s environmental and cultural assets and volunteer in hard-hit local communities. They also gain valuable paid work experience and connections to possible future employers, something many young Puerto Ricans struggle to find.”

3. Australian-born cheetah released in Africa for the first time ever. Watch the heart-warming moment Edie is set free

““The Metapopulation Initiative will bring in appropriate males, probably two initially, to breed with Edie,” King says. “It’s those future cubs, and their cubs, that will ensure the legacy of spreading Edie’s genetics across the southern African metapopulation. And we will have also provided Edie – a wild animal, let’s not forget – with a chance of a life in the wild.””

4. Baby Bald Eagles Confirmed in 2 of 4 Nests in Will County Forest Preserves

“A pair of fuzzy eaglet heads were spotted popping up out of one of the nests this week, officials said. Two weeks ago, monitors noticed adult eagles feeding an unseen hatchling (or hatchlings) in a different nest.”

5. New Hope for Love for Japanese Children Needing Families

“The new system, established by a 2022 law, offers private childcare institutions financing to transform their business model into “Foster Care Support Centers” that recruit, train, select, and support foster parents, and assist the independence of children living in foster families. If a childcare institution becomes a Foster Care Support Center, the government will fund full-time staff members based on the number of foster households they cater to.”

6. Nexamp nabs $520M to build community solar across the US

“Nexamp, a community solar developer and project owner, has secured a whopping $520million to install solar arrays around the nation in one of the largest capital raises to date for this growing sector. Community solar gives renters, small businesses and organizations the chance to benefit from local solar power even if they can’t put panels on their own roofs.”

7. A natural touch for coastal defense: Hybrid solutions which combine nature with common “hard” coastal protection measures may offer more benefits in lower-risk areas

“Common “hard” coastal defenses, like concrete sea walls, might struggle to keep up with increasing climate risks. A new study shows that combining them with nature-based solutions could, in some contexts, create defenses which are better able to adapt.”

8. Rewilding program ships eggs around the world to restore Raja Ampat zebra sharks

“A survey estimated the zebra shark had a population of 20 spread throughout the Raja Ampat archipelago, making the animal functionally extinct in the region. […] Researchers hope to release 500 zebra sharks into the wild within 10 years in an effort to support a large, genetically diverse breeding population.”

9. Forest Loss Plummets in Brazil and Colombia

“New data reveals a decline in primary forest loss in Brazil and Colombia, highlighting the significant impact of environmental reforms in curbing deforestation. According to 2022-2023 data from the University of Maryland’s GLAD Lab and World Resource’s Institute (WRI), primary forests in Brazil experienced a 36 per cent decrease in deforestation under President Inácio Lula da Silva’s leadership, reaching its lowest level since 2015. Colombia nearly halved (by 49 per cent) its forest loss under the administration of President Gustavo Petro Urrego, who has prioritised rural and environmental reform.”

10. New Agreement Paves the Way for Ocelot Reintroduction on Private Lands

“With the safe harbor agreement in place, partners plan to begin developing a source stock of ocelots for reintroduction. Over the next year, they plan to construct an ocelot conservation facility in Kingsville to breed and raise ocelots. Producing the first offspring is expected to take a few years.”

The feds have no choice. They not only have to borrow, they have to ‘print.’ They have to inflate the money supply. And they can only do so as long as people take their fake money as if it were real.

Text of Executive Order 6102, forbidding the hoarding of gold in the United States

Wednesday, October 23rd, 2024 

Bill Bonner, writing today from Baltimore, Maryland 

In the never-ending press babble is news that Kamala Harris is warming up to crypto. Benzinga: 

Kamala Harris is taking a different approach to cryptocurrency than President Joe Biden and she's making moves. Harris isn't just talking about being more crypto-friendly. As reported by Joseph Zeballos-Roig from Semafor, she's already sending her aides out to build relationships with crypto investors and Democrats in Congress who support digital assets. 

It is the home stretch for the election. (Want to know which way to vote? Look for our Special Election Issue coming soon!) Ms. Harris will take votes wherever she can find them. She is in favor of new ‘innovations,’ she says.  

But neither she nor Donald Trump can permit a new innovation to undermine the inflation grift. Crimes need victims. And if the elites are going to keep the show on the road, they need to steal money from consumers, savers and lenders to pay for it.  

They face $2 trillion deficits. They have to finance them somehow. 

Since 1980 US debt has been growing about eight times faster than GDP. Raising middle class taxes is political suicide. So is cutting benefits. The politicians must borrow to keep the show on the road.  

But households only save 5% of their incomes. Take US GDP as the ‘income’ for the nation... and you have about $1.4 trillion of available savings. Even if the feds borrowed every penny of it, it still wouldn’t be enough to plug the gap. In the fiscal year just ended, for example, the deficit was $1.8 trillion. 

There’s also the ‘crowding out’ problem. As the feds borrow more and more, they push up interest rates... and leave the real economy with less credit to draw upon for new factories and new homes. The economy shrinks, causing tax receipts to fall and deficits to grow larger.

How to Choose the Right Maryland Firearms Training

Finding the right firearms training in Maryland will ensure responsible carry and ownership for anyone interested in owning or carrying a firearm responsibly. The first-timer gun owner or an experienced shooter aiming to brush up their skills, finding the right program that will meet your needs is therefore something of prime importance. With so many choices to make from, a decision has to be well-informed to get the best education and training. In this guide, we will show you the key factors that can enable you to choose just the right firearms training course in Maryland.

Identify Your Training Needs               

When you know what kind of training you need, selecting the right firearms training in Maryland becomes much easier. Not all courses are created equal, and your choice will depend on a few factors:

Are you a first-time gun owner or an experienced one looking to hone some skills? Concealed carry training: Getting a concealed carry permit, or are you looking for advanced tactical training? Defensive skills: Want to learn about home defense and self-defense or personal protection techniques?

Knowing specifically what you want to get out of the course will help narrow down your choices and select a class that is aligned with your goals.

Confirm Instructor Qualifications

The expertise and qualifications of the instructors largely make a good firearms training program. In Maryland, it usually involves trainers who are best certified by known authorities such as the National Rifle Association (NRA) or Maryland State Police (MSP). Such kind of training ensures that the instructor knows how to handle weapons, abides by Maryland state laws, and contributes positively to the best shooting practices.

This training in Maryland involves firearms. Generally, the instructor should have practical experience and certifications. Ideally, look for trainers in Maryland having backgrounds in law enforcement, military, or competitive shooting. These professionals can provide real-world insights and even advance tactical training beyond what is being covered in basic courses.

Course Content and Structure Evaluation

The content and the design of the training course are crucial factors in determining whether it is the right course for you. A good training course on firearms in Maryland should include the following:

Firearms Safety Handling: Safe loading, unloading, storage, and transportation of firearms.

Marksmanship: Basic shooting skills, including stance, grip, trigger pull, and sighting.

Maryland Law: Comprehensive knowledge about the state's weapon laws, where and when a person is allowed to legally bear arms.

Live Fire Training: You will get some actual time behind your firearm on a shooting range.

You can expect certain classes to offer specific defensive shooting techniques or even home protection plans. Inquire with your instructor as to whether the courses you'll be taking will meet your goals-whether you're looking for some basic safety information or are seeking to build more advanced tactical skills.

Respect Maryland Law

If you own or carry a firearm in Maryland, your training must follow the state's legal requirements. Handgun Qualification License and Maryland Wear and Carry Permit shall have their specific distinct training requirements to fulfill the state's legal requirements.

When you are in the process of looking for Maryland firearms training, make sure that the class is certified by the Maryland State Police and fulfills all the training requirements for the permits you want to get. Many times, to get a Maryland Wear and Carry Permit, you must do some classroom instruction and live fire training. A course that meets these requirements will leave you more than adequately prepared to apply for your permits with no unpleasant surprises.

Look for Multi-State Permit Programs

Many Marylanders would like to have the ability to carry a concealed firearm in other states as well. To better serve that demand, some training providers offer courses that also qualify you for out-of-state permits, such as Utah, Virginia, Florida, and Arizona permits. These permits are affiliated by reciprocity with Maryland to ensure you can lawfully carry in several states.

If you wish to expand your carry options outside of state lines, look for a course that has multi-state permit coverage-such as the MSP Firearms Training program. These courses give you the ability to extend the places in which you may lawfully carry a handgun a great bargaining chip for those who travel often or live near state lines.

Class Size and Availability of Hands-on Training

Class size and the availability of hands-on training are two very important factors in your considering having fire weapons training in Maryland. Class size will be a determinant that can determine the amount of personal interaction that you will receive from your instructor, since it will offer you a personable way of learning, and smaller classes allow you to have more time to ask questions and improve skills.

Furthermore, courses that involve a lot of hands-on training tend to be better than those who only lecture and read through books.Live-fire training at the range really becomes much more comfortable with this handling and application of your firearm in real-world settings. Always make sure you ask the provider of your training how many hours there will be in hands-on training versus in a classroom so that you can ensure the course has enough balance to meet your learning style.

Reviews and Testimonials of Research

The only way to know how good this Maryland firearms training is by reading reviews and testifying from previously trained students. Much as past participants talk about the instruction delivered, curriculum effectiveness, and the overall experience of learning.

Look for courses that get high kudos concerning instructor professionalism, the training organization, and the success their students achieve. For example, MSP Firearms Training has been known for comprehensive, quality training by expert instructors and a high level of customer service. Hearing positive experiences from other people will give you confidence in your choice of training provider.

Convenience and Location

A good factor would also be to ensure that the training provider fits one's schedule, considering instruction might take several days. MSP Firearms Training offers classes in a variety of locations, including Brandywine and Annapolis, so there should be one near you.

Besides offering courses in the permits of all Maryland locations, MSP Firearms Training offers courses in permits for state students such as Utah, Virginia, Florida, and Arizona. This provides you with a wide range of options on where you can carry your training and expand your legal carrying rights.

Conclusion

Determine your goals, qualifications of the instructors, structure of the course, and how well the program is compliant with state laws before selecting any good firearms training in Maryland. Selection of a program that will offer you some comprehensive training and experienced instructors will guarantee preparation to handle your firearms responsibly and lawfully.

MSP Firearms Training offers a wide variety of courses for all types of shooters, from new shooters to experienced ones. With two locations in Brandywine and Annapolis and options for multistate permits, you'll find the perfect training to get you where you need to be safely and effectively.

U.S. Rental Market Sees a Shift as Build-to-Rent Gains Momentum Amid Aging Housing Stock

In the face of an aging multifamily housing stock, the United States is witnessing a significant shift in the rental market. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2023 American Community Survey indicates that a considerable 17.6 percent of multifamily properties, those with five or more units, were constructed prior to 1959. This has led to a pressing need for innovative solutions to rejuvenate the nation's rental housing.

The decline in new multifamily construction permit applications, which dropped over 20 percent in 2023, aligning with pre-pandemic figures, has further exacerbated the issue. However, the build-to-rent (BTR) sector has emerged as a promising alternative, experiencing a surge in starts as lifestyle renting gains popularity.

The Rise of Build-to-Rent

BTR developments, a segment of the single-family rental market designed specifically for rental rather than sale, are introducing high-quality apartment units that address the supply-demand imbalance. These communities often mirror single-family homes, offering modern amenities and professional management. Their appeal has extended across demographics, from lifestyle renters to Baby Boomers and Generation Z, resulting in rent growth that outpaces traditional multifamily units.

Institutional investors have taken note of the BTR sector's robust fundamentals, pouring capital into these growth opportunities within commercial real estate.

Addressing the Aging Dilemma

Urban and suburban landscapes across the country are dotted with residential properties showing signs of wear, necessitating costly renovations. The trend towards new construction, where maintenance issues are less imminent, is gaining traction.

Development Trends and Future Outlook

Despite a downturn in multifamily permitting in 2023, single-family BTR starts reached a record 75,000 units, accounting for 7.9 percent of all single-family housing starts—a clear indicator of investor confidence. Meanwhile, for-sale single-family starts have seen a decline of 6.9 percent.

Regions beyond the Sun Belt, including New York, Virginia, and Maryland, are now experiencing a rise in BTR activity. As the sector continues to grow, it is poised to play a crucial role in alleviating the persistent housing shortage in the U.S.

Kaufman Real Estate & Consulting: Pioneering BTR Development

Kaufman Real Estate & Consulting is at the forefront of this transformative trend with a late-stage BTR project set to deliver its first units in October 2024. Located in one of the nation's fastest-growing suburbs, this development promises to attract high-income tenants who prefer renting, offering stability with lower turnover rates compared to conventional apartments.
