Morning Joe: biggest political story of the year, and Morning Joe still refuses to cover it. Wow. Cold open today with list of stories they will be covering in the first hour, and the pardon is not even mentioned in passing.
Meanwhile, the pardon is the story. Exhibit A: the front page of The New York Times.
So, we move over to CNBC, another streaming network (along with MSNBC) that Comcast will spin off.
Posting: I will try to post political stuff to another blog today; avoid posting on themilliondollarway. Including The New York Times newsletter today. Unlike Morning Joe, The New Yorks (and everyone else) is covering The Pardon:
From "The View":
Bottom line: this will not age well. Hunter will fade into the background, never to be heard from again, a mere footnote in a Biden biography. But this is Biden's legacy, sandwiched between two Trump presidencies who got out of the race too late when he said he would be a transition president and then, in one of his last official acts as president, pardoned his son after denying for four years he would do that (pardon his son). And worse, it opens the door for Trump pardons. And unlike Biden, Trump won't wait for the end of his term to start issuing his pardons. Again, I'm not saying this was not the fatherly thing to do; I'm just saying that it won't age well. It again raises an interesting question: does "doing a moral thing," make it right. Wow.
SpaceX: considering tender offer of roughly $350 billion.
ISO-NE: $180 this morning. Link here. Let that sink in for awhile. $180. Wind, 1.16%; coal, 2%; solar, 0%. nuclear, 23%, net imports, 20%. Texas (ERCOT): no imports as far as I know. Could be wrong. Wind? Huge component.

RBN Energy: with power deman on the rise, could new nuclear units be added to old coal sites?
Soaring demand for around-the-clock electricity, tied to the development of large-scale data centers, has sparked a renewed interest in carbon-free nuclear power. Given that conventional nuclear plants can be very challenging to site and permit, there’s been a lot of talk about installing small modular reactors (SMRs) at the sites of coal-fired power plants that have been taken offline for environmental and economic reasons but still have critical connections to the power grid and other infrastructure.
