This article was originally published by John W. Whitehead and Nisha Whitehead at The Rutherford Institute. 
“The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They’ve long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls. They got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear… They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying. Lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else… It’s called the American Dream, ’cause you have to be asleep to believe it.”—George Carlin
Who owns America?
Is it the government? The politicians? The corporations? The foreign investors? The American people?
While the Deep State keeps the nation divided and distracted by a presidential election whose outcome is foregone (the police state’s stranglehold on power will ensure the continuation of endless wars and out-of-control spending, while disregarding the citizenry’s fundamental rights and the rule of law), America is literally being bought and sold right out from under us.
Consider the facts.
We’re losing more and more of our land every year to corporations and foreign interests. Foreign ownership of U.S. agricultural land has increased by 66% since 2010. In 2021, it was reported that foreign investors owned approximately 40 million acres of U.S. agricultural land, which is more than the entire state of Iowa. By 2022 that number had grown to 43.4 million acres. The rate at which U.S. farmland is being bought up by foreign interests grew by 2.2 million acres per year from 2015 to 2021. The number of U.S. farm acres owned by foreign entities grew more than 8% (3.4 million acres) in 2022.
We’re losing more and more of our businesses every year to foreign corporations and interests. Although China owns a small fraction of foreign-owned U.S. land at 380,000 acres (less than the state of Rhode Island), Chinese companies and investors are also buying up major food companies, commercial and residential real estate, and other businesses. As RetailWire explains, “Currently, many brands started by early American pioneers now wave international flags. This revolution is a direct result of globalization.” The growing list of once-notable American brands that have been sold to foreign corporations includes: U.S. Steel (now Japanese-owned); General Electric (Chinese-owned); Budweiser (Belgium); Burger King (Canada); 7-Eleven (Japan); Jeep, Chrysler, and Dodge (Netherlands); and IBM (China).

By 2030, the global energy mix is expected to shift significantly as countries work to reduce carbon emissions and transition to more sustainable sources of power. This transformation will differ across regions based on policies, infrastructure, and resources. Here’s a projection of the potential energy mix for wind, solar, geothermal, nuclear, and coal in various regions by 2030:
### 1. **United States**
The U.S. is on track to significantly increase its share of renewable energy in its overall energy mix by 2030, driven by federal policies and state-level mandates.
- **Wind**: Expected to contribute about 25% of the total electricity generation, thanks to large-scale wind farms in states like Texas, Iowa, and the Midwest.
- **Solar**: Rapid growth, with estimates suggesting around 15-20% of electricity generation. Utility-scale projects, alongside residential solar, will play a key role.
- **Geothermal**: Modest growth, contributing around 2%, mainly from geothermal hotspots in California and Nevada.
- **Nuclear**: Likely to remain relatively stable, contributing around 17-20%. While few new plants will come online, many existing plants will continue operating.
- **Coal**: Expected to decline significantly, providing less than 10% of the energy mix, as many coal plants are being retired and replaced with cleaner alternatives.
### 2. **Europe**
Europe is a global leader in renewable energy adoption due to strong political support and ambitious climate goals.
- **Wind**: Likely to be one of the dominant sources, contributing up to 30-35% of electricity generation, especially in countries like Germany, Spain, and the UK.
- **Solar**: Expected to grow to 20-25% as Europe continues to invest heavily in solar capacity, particularly in southern countries like Spain, Italy, and Greece.
- **Geothermal**: Limited growth, contributing around 1-2%, primarily in regions with geothermal potential such as Italy and Iceland.
- **Nuclear**: Mixed outlook. Some countries (e.g., France) will continue relying on nuclear energy, contributing around 15-20%, while others (like Germany) are phasing out nuclear plants.
- **Coal**: Europe is actively reducing coal usage, and it could fall below 5% of the energy mix as countries shift to cleaner sources and implement carbon pricing policies.
### 3. **World (Global Outlook)**
Globally, the shift towards renewable energy is accelerating, although progress will vary by region.
- **Wind**: Expected to make up around 20-25% of global electricity generation by 2030, with strong growth in the U.S., Europe, China, and India.
- **Solar**: Could account for 15-20% of global energy generation, driven by large investments in Asia and increasing efficiency in solar technology.
- **Geothermal**: A minor player globally, contributing around 1-2%, with the majority of capacity in regions like the U.S., Philippines, and parts of East Africa.
- **Nuclear**: Expected to maintain a global share of around 10%, with new plants coming online in China and other developing nations, while older plants are retired in developed countries.
- **Coal**: Despite declines in Europe and North America, coal will still account for 25-30% of the global energy mix, primarily due to its dominance in Asia (China and India).
### 4. **Asia**
Asia’s energy future is marked by the balancing act between growing energy demand and efforts to decarbonize.
- **Wind**: Likely to contribute 15-20% of electricity generation by 2030, with China and India leading in wind power capacity additions.
- **Solar**: Could rise to 25-30% of the energy mix, especially in China, which is the world leader in solar installations. India and Southeast Asian nations are also ramping up solar investments.
- **Geothermal**: Limited growth, accounting for around 1-3%, with potential expansion in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan.
- **Nuclear**: Expected to grow to around 7-10%, driven by new plants in China, India, and possibly South Korea.
- **Coal**: While many Asian countries are shifting towards renewables, coal will still play a significant role, making up 40-50% of the energy mix by 2030, particularly in China and India, though there will be a gradual decline.
### 5. **Philippines**
The Philippines has ambitious goals to increase its share of renewables, though challenges such as cost and infrastructure remain.
- **Wind**: Modest growth, contributing around 5-10% of electricity by 2030. There is potential in the northern regions like Ilocos, but expansion has been slow.
- **Solar**: Expected to grow rapidly, potentially contributing 15-20%, as the government pushes for more solar projects and rooftop installations.
- **Geothermal**: The Philippines is already one of the world’s largest geothermal producers, and it is expected to maintain or slightly increase its contribution, making up 10-15% of the energy mix by 2030.
- **Nuclear**: Uncertain. There has been ongoing discussion about reviving the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant, but it remains unclear if the Philippines will add nuclear energy to its mix by 2030.
- **Coal**: Still likely to play a significant role, contributing 30-40% of the energy mix. However, the country is trying to phase out coal gradually in favor of cleaner sources.
---
### Summary of Key Trends by Region (2030 Estimates)
| **Region** | **Wind** | **Solar** | **Geothermal** | **Nuclear** | **Coal** |
|---------------------|----------|-----------|----------------|-------------|----------|
| **United States** | 25% | 15-20% | 2% | 17-20% | <10% |
| **Europe** | 30-35% | 20-25% | 1-2% | 15-20% | <5% |
| **Global** | 20-25% | 15-20% | 1-2% | 10% | 25-30% |
| **Asia** | 15-20% | 25-30% | 1-3% | 7-10% | 40-50% |
| **Philippines** | 5-10% | 15-20% | 10-15% | 0% | 30-40% |
---
### Key Factors Influencing the 2030 Energy Mix
1. **Government Policies**: Countries with stronger climate policies (e.g., the EU’s Green Deal or the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act) will see more rapid adoption of renewables.
2. **Technological Advancements**: Improvements in energy storage, grid infrastructure, and efficiency will drive the uptake of wind and solar.
3. **Economic Considerations**: Developing countries may still rely heavily on coal due to cost and availability, though international pressure and green financing could reduce this dependence.
4. **Public Opinion**: In regions where public support for nuclear energy is high (such as China and some parts of Europe), nuclear energy will play a significant role. In contrast, regions with strong anti-nuclear sentiment (e.g., Germany) will see a decline.
5. **Fossil Fuel Availability**: In places with abundant coal reserves (e.g., Asia), coal will remain a significant part of the energy mix, though its share will gradually decrease.
This dynamic landscape reflects the global push toward cleaner energy sources, with renewables like wind and solar poised for strong growth, even as traditional sources like coal and nuclear face mixed futures depending on the region.

Who Owns America? Oligarchs Have Bought Up The American Dream
Tumblr media
“The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything.

Who owns America?
Is it the government? The politicians? The corporations? The foreign investors? The American people?
While the Deep State keeps the nation divided and distracted by a presidential election whose outcome is foregone (the police state’s stranglehold on power will ensure the continuation of endless wars and out-of-control spending, while disregarding the citizenry’s fundamental rights and the rule of law).
America is literally being bought and sold right out from under us.
Consider the facts.
We’re losing more and more of our land every year to corporations and foreign interests. Foreign ownership of U.S. agricultural land has increased by 66% since 2010. In 2021, it was reported that foreign investors owned approximately 40 million acres of U.S. agricultural land, which is more than the entire state of Iowa. By 2022 that number had grown to 43.4 million acres. The rate at which U.S. farmland is being bought up by foreign interests grew by 2.2 million acres per year from 2015 to 2021. The number of U.S. farm acres owned by foreign entities grew more than 8% (3.4 million acres) in 2022.
We’re losing more and more of our businesses every year to foreign corporations and interests. Although China owns a small fraction of foreign-owned U.S. land at 380,000 acres, less than the state of Rhode Island, Chinese companies and investors are also buying up major food companies, commercial and residential real estate, and other businesses. As RetailWire explains: “Currently, many brands started by early American pioneers now wave international flags. This revolution is a direct result of globalization.” The growing list of once-notable American brands that have been sold to foreign corporations includes: U.S. Steel (now Japanese-owned); General Electric (Chinese-owned); Budweiser (Belgium); Burger King (Canada); 7-Eleven (Japan); Jeep, Chrysler, and Dodge (Netherlands); and IBM (China).
We’re digging ourselves deeper and deeper into debt, both as a nation and as a populace. Basically, the U.S. government is funding its existence with a credit card, spending money it doesn’t have on programs it can’t afford. The bulk of that debt has been amassed over the past two decades, thanks in large part to the fiscal shenanigans of four presidents, 10 sessions of Congress and two wars. The national debt (the amount the federal government has borrowed over the years and must pay back) is more than $34 trillion and will grow another $19 trillion by 2033. Foreign ownership makes up 29% of the U.S. debt held by the public. Of that amount, reports the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, “52 percent was held by private foreign investors while foreign governments held the remaining 48 percent.”
The Fourth Estate has been taken over by media conglomerates that prioritize profit over principle. Independent news agencies, which were supposed to act as bulwarks against government propaganda, have been subsumed by a global corporate takeover of newspapers, television and radio. Consequently, a handful of corporations now control most of the media industry and, thus, the information dished out to the public. Likewise, with Facebook and Google having appointed themselves the arbiters of “disinformation,” we now find ourselves grappling with new levels of corporate censorship by entities with a history of colluding with the government to keep the citizenry mindless, muzzled and in the dark.
Most critically of all, the U.S. government, long ago sold to the highest bidders, has become little more than a shell company, a front for corporate interests. Nowhere is this state of affairs more evident than in the manufactured spectacle that is the presidential election. As for members of Congress, long before they’re elected, they are trained to dance to the tune of their wealthy benefactors, so much so that they spend two-thirds of their time in office raising money. As Reuters reports: “It also means that lawmakers often spend more time listening to the concerns of the wealthy than anyone else.”
In the oligarchy that is the American police state, it clearly doesn’t matter who wins the White House, because they all work for the same boss: a Corporate State that has gone global.
So much for living the American dream.
“We the people” have become the new, permanent underclass in America.
We’re being forced to shell out money for endless wars that are bleeding us dry, money for surveillance systems to track our movements, money to further militarize our already militarized police, money to allow the government to raid our homes and bank accounts, money to fund schools where our kids learn nothing about freedom and everything about how to comply, and on and on.
This is no way of life.
It’s tempting to say that there’s little we can do about it, except that’s not quite accurate.
There are a few things we can do: demand transparency, reject cronyism and graft, insist on fair pricing and honest accounting methods, call a halt to incentive-driven government programs that prioritize profits over people, but it will require that “we the people” stop playing politics and stand united against the politicians and corporate interests who have turned our government and economy into a pay-to-play exercise in fascism.
Unfortunately, we’ve become so invested in identity politics that label us based on our political leanings that we’ve lost sight of the one label that unites us: we’re all Americans.
The “powers-that-be” want us to adopt an “us-versus-them” mindset that keeps us powerless and divided. Yet, as I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, the only us versus them that matters is “we the people” against the Deep State.

Another dimension of improvement was speed. By 1870 intercity trains traveled at 25 miles per hour and horse-drawn streetcars with their six-mile per hour pace were beginning to replace less efficient horse-drawn omnibuses that traveled only half as fast. Within a few years the horse-drawn streetcar was replaced by the electric streetcar and the motorbus. All of a sudden in the 1890s and 1900s appeared the Chicago elevated and the New York City subway system, with similar improvements in many other cities. None of the transportation inventions of the 1870-1900 period were more important than the automobile. Prior to its invention, there was almost no chance for travel by working class families either from the farm to the city, or from the city to the countryside. Ownership of horses and carriages was a privilege limited to the rich and the elite. The automobile changed all that, and even more for farmers than city residents; by 1926 fully 93 percent of Iowa farmers owned motor cars. The range of indirect benefits provided by the automobile is suggested in this quote from Flink (1972, p. 460): "The benefits of automobility were overwhelmingly more obvious: an antiseptic city, the end of rural isolation, improved roads, better medical care, consolidated schools, expanded recreational opportunities, the decentralization of business and residential patterns, a suburban real estate boom, and the creation of a standardized middle-class national culture."

Renewable generation surpassed coal and nuclear in the U.S. electric power sector in 2022
Tumblr media
- By Katherine Antonio , U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) -
Last year, the U.S. electric power sector produced 4,090 million megawatthours (MWh) of electric power. In 2022, generation from renewable sources—wind, solar, hydro, biomass, and geothermal—surpassed coal-fired generation in the electric power sector for the first time. 
Renewable generation surpassed nuclear generation for the first time in 2021 and continued to provide more electricity than nuclear generation last year.
Tumblr media
Data source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Electricity Data Browser
Natural gas remained the largest source of U.S. electricity generation, increasing from a 37% share of U.S. generation in 2021 to 39% in 2022. The share of coal-fired generation decreased from 23% in 2021 to 20% in 2022 as a number of coal-fired power plants retired and the remaining plants were used less. The share of nuclear generation decreased from 20% in 2021 to 19% in 2022, following the Palisades nuclear power plant’s retirement in May 2022. The combined wind and solar share of total generation increased from 12% in 2021 to 14% in 2022. Hydropower generation remained unchanged, at 6%, in 2022. The shares for biomass and geothermal sources remained unchanged, at less than 1%.
Growth in wind and solar generating capacity drove the increase in wind and solar generation. Utility-scale solar capacity in the U.S. electric power sector increased from 61 gigawatts (GW) in 2021 to 71 GW in 2022, according to data from our Electricity Power Monthly. Wind capacity grew from 133 GW in 2021 to 141 GW in 2022.
More wind-generated power was produced in Texas than in any other state last year. Texas accounted for 26% of total U.S. wind generation last year, followed by Iowa (10%) and Oklahoma (9%). One of the largest wind farms in the United States (nearly 1,000 megawatt capacity [MW]) came online in Oklahoma in 2022.
In 2022, California ranked first in utility-scale solar generation, producing 26% of the country’s utility-scale solar electricity. Texas was the second-largest producing state (16%), followed by North Carolina (8%). Several of the largest solar plants built in the United States in the last three years are located in Texas, including the 275 MW Noble solar plant, which started operations in 2022.
Tumblr media
Data source: U.S. Energy Information Administration, Electricity Power Monthly
In our March Short-Term Energy Outlook, we forecast the wind share of the U.S. generation mix will increase from 11% last year to 12% this year. We forecast that the solar share will grow to 5% in 2023, up from 4% last year. The natural gas share of generation is forecast to remain unchanged from last year (39%); the coal share of generation is forecast to decline from 20% last year to 17% in 2023.
The electric power sector includes electric utilities and independent power producers. It does not include generators in the industrial, commercial, or residential sectors, such as rooftop solar panels installed on homes or businesses or some combined-heat-and-power systems.

HVAC Contractors Require Certain Certifications
Tumblr media
HVAC contractors offer various types of services. They may specialize in residential or commercial properties. You should check their licensing and credentials before hiring them. Some states require contractors to have a license and insurance. You should also check the number of years of experience. You can also read reviews from previous clients before selecting one. But it's important to remember that not all HVAC contractors are licensed to work in every state.
The HVAC industry provides a lot of job opportunities for those with the right education and training. You can hire hvac service contractor to do routine maintenance and emergency repairs in your home or business. The best HVAC contractors offer a detailed breakdown of their costs. You should be able to see if the services you're considering are worth the cost.
In North Dakota, HVAC contractors are required to carry general liability insurance and worker's compensation insurance. There are also other requirements in local jurisdictions. In Iowa, HVAC contractors must hold a certificate from the Department of Public Health. In addition, they must have a master-level technician license. They must also have a permanent business location and must have insurance and a bond. For more facts about HVAC, visit this website at https://www.dictionary.com/browse/vent.
To become an HVAC contractor, you must have an appropriate education and pass a trade exam and an exam on business and law. You must also pass a background check, provide proof of liability insurance and worker's compensation insurance, and take at least six hours of continuing education. In addition, HVAC contractors must be licensed in your state to work for you.
HVAC contractors must also be certified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Certification from the EPA ensures that HVAC contractors don't do anything harmful to the environment. This certification will help you distinguish yourself from the competition and ensure more contracts. You can get this certification by attending a community college that's accredited by the EPA.
While the costs of HVAC contractors may vary, you should never skimp on insurance coverage. Depending on the type of job, you may need to cover electrical and plumbing costs as well as Occupational Safety & Health Administration costs. Most HVAC contractors are required by law to carry general liability insurance to protect them against common risks. In addition to this, many states also require contractors to carry workers' compensation insurance, which pays for lost wages and medical expenses for injured employees.
There are also additional certifications available for HVAC contractors. These can increase their marketability and increase their pay. Additionally, HVAC contractors in New York must have a state-issued business license, workers' compensation insurance, and a cash deposit or surety bond. And almost every municipality requires contractors to be licensed before performing any HVAC work. As your experience and training progresses, your pay will increase as well.
An HVAC contractor can help you save money on your energy bills by recommending energy-efficient options. They can also provide advice on improving the quality of air in your home. If your home isn't properly ventilated, you may need a humidifier or air purifier.

Excerpt from this story from Politico:
Dozens of energy groups, state regulators and other officials urged FERC on Monday to reject a petition from a shadowy New England group to end the widespread practice of solar net metering.
In most states, rooftop solar owners are paid the retail rate of electricity for power they ship to the grid — the same rate they pay for power consumed. The petition from a group called the New England Ratepayers Association asks FERC to upend those net metering policies nationwide, taking the issue out of the hands of state regulators and placing it under federal jurisdiction.
If FERC agrees to halt net metering, it would sharply reduce the payments utilities make to rooftop solar owners. In its petition, NERA proposes that most small solar arrays be subject to the federal Public Utilities Regulatory Policy Act, which could lower the rates paid to solar owners by half or more.
The petition attracted criticism from a diverse group of energy trade organizations, free market and environmental groups, as well as state regulators and officials. Iowa’s Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds sent a letter in opposition, as did former Democratic FERC Chair Jon Wellinghoff. The head of a group representing state utility regulators called the petition a “full frontal assault on state authority.” Solar companies said it risks decimating the residential solar sector — and the vast number existing rooftop solar contracts that are built on the arrangements.
“Opposition to this petition is pervasive and the legal and jurisdictional problems the petition would create are impossible to overlook,” said Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association. “It’s hard to fathom why FERC would want to overturn prior decisions and wrest regulatory jurisdiction away from state policymakers.”
The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners also took aim at the NERA filing, calling it an "abstract attack on net metering laws, divorced from any concrete controversy."
