When norms are sufficiently broken, with impunity, and entirely by one side, you do have to break norms in response. That doesn't mean you have to break the law. It is perfectly lawful to expand the Court. It is perfectly lawful to investigate former officials for fraud, bribery, and abusing the powers of their office. Democrats have just been afraid to push too hard on this because they did not want matters to escalate further.
In May 2026, parts of Europe encountered a striking turning point. According to Epex Spot, electricity prices in France fell below zero at midday as solar output surged beyond what grids could absorb. At the same time, analysis from Bloomberg warns that as much as 40TWh of solar electricity could be curtailed this summer, enough to power a major city for a year.

Call it a tale of two heatwave experiences. As brutally hot conditions brought much of western Europe to its knees, an American writer living in Paris asserted that, for many, the heat was not “nearly as apocalyptic” as most media were suggesting. He said he had yet to buy a fan, instead relying on closed shutters, misting sessions and open windows in the evening to keep his ground-level flat cool. Less than 20km away, in a southern suburb of Paris, Aboubakar, 60, wept as he explained that temperatures had climbed as high as 40C inside his fourth-floor flat. “I’m suffocating,” he told the Guardian. “I can’t afford to buy a fan. There are no shutters on my flat. At night I can’t sleep, it’s like a furnace.”
Deep Sky is proposing a 145-acre facility in the agriculture and oil-dominant southwestern region that will scrub 30,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere each year and inject it into porous rock formations 1,000 metres below ground. The company says it will use technology first tested at its existing accelerator in Innisfail, Alta., and will finance the $200-million Manitoba project by selling carbon credits.

What had previously appeared as recurring midday volatility evolved into a much broader structural pattern: prolonged periods of renewable oversupply, increasingly persistent negative prices, and a growing decoupling between fossil fuel costs and wholesale electricity prices. Despite geopolitical tensions and elevated gas prices linked to developments in the Middle East, Germany’s electricity market increasingly moved according to a different logic: solar-driven oversupply. Strong photovoltaic generation, combined with moderate spring demand and rising wind output, created a market environment defined less by scarcity and more by excess generation during large parts of the day.

Photo of a cobbled together prototype magnesium fuel burner. It consists of several soup cans stacked together with copper pipe plumbing coming out of the to and bottom. A erector-set style metal grid is clamped onto the top of the stack, and a toy peristaltic pump is mounted to it. The whole contraption sits on an extremely messy wooden workbench.
