A Note from The Flyover

We're asking for your support. Here's why it matters.

The Flyover will always be free. Producing it isn't.

Two questions before you scroll past:

Do you rely on us for news without the spin?

Is fact-first journalism worth fighting for?

If yes, this one's for you.

"Trust in the news media is at an all-time low. Americans deserve better. We're trying to be that better."

We live in a moment when the institutions once trusted to deliver the news have lost the public's faith, and for good reason. Corporate media has an agenda. Legacy outlets have a bias. Trust in the press has fallen to historic lows, lower even than trust in Congress. That's not an accident.

The Flyover was built to be different. No agenda. No spin. Just the news, clearly written, fairly covered, and delivered every morning to 5 million readers across this country.

We're not funded by billionaires. We're not backed by a corporation with an angle. We're supported by readers, and that's exactly how we want it.

Will you chip in to help support The Flyover?

Even $10 sends us a powerful message: you believe in what we're building, and you're willing to support us. Giving more, $50 or $100, helps us grow our footprint, launch new editions, and deliver more of the fact-first journalism America is hungry for.

Give $25

The AI Boom Just Got a Major Energy Boost

One ChatGPT query uses ~10X more energy than a Google search. It’s why OpenAI’s data centers consume more power than some small countries.

Big Tech giants like Amazon and Meta are racing to build more. That’s creating a big energy strain, in particular for the lithium-ion batteries needed for always-on power. 

EnergyX is ready. They just opened the largest lithium production facility of its kind in America, and it’s producing battery-grade lithium right now. At full production, it can produce 50,000 tons yearly, good for ~$1B in recurring revenue.

And the industry is noticing. General Motors led their $50 million round and locked in first rights to the output. POSCO invested. Eni invested. The DOE awarded a $5 million grant.

Claim your stake as an early-stage EnergyX investor today.

There’s a 500X Faster Way to Mine Lithium

The majority of today’s lithium supply is mined. But 75% of the world’s natural resources aren't in rocks. They’re in water. 

So isn’t it absurd that the only way to get it is by waiting a year-plus for it to evaporate? Not anymore, thanks to EnergyX.

Using direct lithium extraction (DLE), EnergyX’s patented tech can recover lithium 500X faster than evaporation ponds. That earned investment from industry leaders like General Motors.

And now they’ve commissioned the largest DLE facility in the US. With rights to nearly 150K acres of lithium-rich land across the Americas, including up to 9.8M tons in Chile, that’s a powerful combination.

Great timing, too. Morgan Stanley forecasts an 80,000-ton shortage in 2026. Become an EnergyX investor today.
