Energy Storage Pro

Nothing is shocking anymore...but the audacity of the dismantling of regulations that protect health is worth understanding. It is also worth considering what "Project 2029" should look like....

And using his mug shot no less...beclowning the country...

If you want to see something disgusting www.recreation.gov/interagency-...

well done...need more of this in the US

Why anyone thought that gravity energy storage was ever anything but a pump and dump fraud on par with launching a memecoin is beyond me. But for those who still think this tech has a future...read on. This is an absolute dead end. The fact that NRGV still has a >$750m market cap is...something.

Good for the NYT to keep talking about climate change. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Oh of course. The new chair of Mount Sinai is John B Hess. This guy: www.ms.now/news/chevron...

The brand new chairman of the board of trustees, the Trump loving oil company CEO John Hess was surely instrumental in this decision. People at the hospital who actually give a shit about patient care should be mortified.

I am having a particularly frustrating week, so here’s one of the best things I’ve ever done. The eruption of Sarychev Peak in the Aleutian Islands, seen by the crew of the space station. www.nasa.gov/image-articl...

6.7 GW of power/20.2GWh of capacity built in one quarter in the US. That's 6 large nuclear reactors worth of capacity shifted for 3 hours a day. Batteries are going to change everything faster than you realize. www.canarymedia.com/articles/bat...

I can't stress enough that this book (Money Game) was written in nineteen sixty six, and it might as well have been published yesterday:

Just to be clear, Social Security is not accounting fraud (obviously). Its structure has to be adjusted over time for changing demographics, of course, but it's a completely sustainable approach to income security for the elderly.

it's maddening. and not only this, renewables are now the cheapest form of electricity AND fossil fuels have suffered repeated severe price shocks AND EVs are now price competitive with gas cars

Over 90GW of gross load, with >100 degrees everywhere, no wind and heat index in Dallas >120...and $26 MWH? Two or three years ago those conditions would have led to far higher prices. Solar for the win...

Absolutely racist shit. Pete Hegseth is going to need to be banished from public life from 2029 (or hopefully before).

I laughed...

Love that Irish humor...

Jinxed it by talking about it...

Haaland...oh my goodness

InfoWars is now live.

BlueSky - do your thing...

Here is the "WARNING NOTICE" federal agents hand-delivered. "YOU MAY BE IN VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW" It's the second of these notices I am aware of. If you've received one, please get in touch: fire.org/alarm

YES!!! Celebrities SHOULD use their platform! Go Circle Jerks, Rage, SOTD, Stevie, Bruce, and so many more for STANDING up to fvcking faicism! Smells like a Nazi, looks like a Nazi, it’s 💯 a Nazi! #Pinks

What an absolute waste of Federal resources and a violation of the 1st Amendment. These people should be ashamed. Perhaps we should all send emails to every ICE agent out there letting them know just how terrible their organization is? Wasting time with warnings >> rounding up immigrants.

I might watch the World Cup if it was this. Actually, every sport could be improved by this formula.

More good news in psychedelics...

Newton, MA making a statement for trans rights.

Yup...

Scaling up sodium-ion! Passively cooled, very safe, and very abundant - this is going to ensure that grid-scale batteries show up everywhere. CAISO went from batteries providing a few % to 44% of peak in about 5 years. Get ready to start seeing that everywhere.

Fantastic...!

"On June 1, the Tumbleweed project in California’s Kern County became the first major battery installation in the U.S. that can discharge power for up to eight hours at a time — twice as long as typical energy-storage facilities," reports Julian Spector: www.canarymedia.com/articles/lon... 🔌💡

The psychedelic renaissance continues to go mainstream. This is from the Bloomberg(!) editorial board today (gift article): www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Almost like a note from the future...great to see.

Makary was clearly a source for this story. He may have even planted the seed as a way to try and salvage a bit of reputation on his way out. They will appoint someone even worse than him to head the FDA.

I applaud Matt for continuing to try and spread the truth. It is a lot less popular than spreading anecdotal stories that confirm priors.

Take psilocybin just once, for the first time, and it enduringly changes your brain for the better.

You know how if you’re hit by a truck, the impact is 10 times harder than from a car going the same speed? Well, EV trucks are about to upend the freight industry, and the impact will be 10 times bigger than from EV cars. The scale of what is coming is HUGE: 🧵 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Yep....

So many people are absolutely unwilling to even do the most basic research to understand things, example 1562. They read a Facebook post once that confirmed a prior and...that's it. They are locked into that view forever and nothing can shake it. EVs have a better carbon footprint than ICE, period.

DO NOT GET LOST IN A SEA OF DESPAIR #JohnLewis🙏

This is great to see coming to fruition, along with the recently energized ISO NE connection to Quebec hydro. No project is perfect, but this is one that works and will have a meaningful impact on decarbonization.

The future...now. Great to see.

This administration is awful, example 34,563...

🔋 “We’ve seen an evolution — battery tech is now seen as building grid resilience.” Falling costs, rising electricity demand and the Middle East disruption are causing a boom in renewables and energy storage. #batteries #battchat #greensky #energysky

Indeed!

Amazing. Did not have this on my bingo card. 99/100 of the things this regime does qre horrible. But this is good. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

God this report is so good. Thank you, National Labs. Factors Influencing Recent Trends in Retail Electricity Prices in the United States What do we know? Where are the gaps? eta-publications.lbl.gov/sites/defaul...
