ork compatibly with them in ways that the CIA would be quite happy to know that he had funded this or that? Well, probably. Why would Epstein be any different? He's not taking a W-2. It's not like they put him on the payroll account even if he did do some work for them.

So I don't believe anything about that denial. But I also don't know. So let me be clear. The biggest mistake you can make looking at this is certainty. If you're positive that they've got stuff they haven't shown you, well, that's not a good take. They might. There's a very good chance, but if you're positive, that's not a good take.

All right. Did you know according to *Futurism*, Joe Wilkins is writing about this, that the amount of electricity generated from solar is just going wild. So apparently the nations around the world are adding so much solar energy that it's the equivalent of adding one coal plant per day. We're installing one gigawatt worth of solar energy every 15 hours. And we're not talking about residential. We're talking about in the power network, the grid.

Now for those of you who told me with great confidence and often insulted my intelligence at the same time, why would all these countries around the world be installing solar as quickly as they can when the people who criticized me said, "But Scott, you freaking idiot, don't you know that solar can never be competitive because the sun doesn't shine at night?"

Can we agree? I will stipulate the sun does not shine at night. Can we also stipulate that I would agree that the batteries at the moment, the best technology might last two to four hours after the sun goes down, but they're not going to get you all night? And yet, and yet it's the fastest growing thing in nations all over the world.

Does that not tell you that maybe somebody looked at the economics and decided the economics work? Or do you think that countries all over the world, US and everybody else, China, doesn't know how to do the math and that they got out their little Excel spreadsheet and they all miscalculated the value of solar energy? Is that what you think?

Or is it possible that it's economical in the sense that we have to do every source of energy production we can or we're going to be in real trouble? So it doesn't have to be better than the others. It just has to be something you can do to make electricity.

So anyway, here are some changes to the student loan situation under the big beautiful bill that got passed. I was not completely up to date on what it costs to go to college these days. And I wondered if you are—if I asked you what does a non-Ivy League college cost all in, you know, from the food and shelter and books and tuition, all that. What would you say in the comments?

So not an Ivy League school. Those would be a lot more. But just a good four-year college, what do you think it would cost per year? All right. So I'm seeing 120,000. I'm seeing 200,000. 65K. 25K.

All right. One of you checked with AI. The answer is a
