Two EV family here. One of the things I learned while reviewing this book is that electric cars go back as far as the auto industry, b/c back then, as now, most people drive <100 miles a day. They were killed off by oil interests, including gas car makers.

You shouldn’t care about either of those things. Where we make things that last for decades once built is vastly less important to NatSec the fuel you have to use (or not) to generate every single kWh. To conflate opex & capex is just to shill for fossil fuel.
How it started: cheap oil stock
How it's going: chip, oil shock

Donald Trump’s new 15% global tariff will most greatly benefit countries he has singled out for heavy criticism, including China and Brazil. Long-standing US allies including the UK, the EU and Japan will suffer the largest hit from the new levy. ft.trib.al/O1tXfR7
No kidding! I was right. It did say "beautiful clean coal"...slightly off in predicting the order of adjectives!! 🔌💡 bsky.app/profile/atru...

All the various kinds of revisions add up -- by the end of the year, there were more than a million fewer people employed than previously estimated.
Energy Secretary Chris Wright says wind and solar were "a cost center" and "not actually helpful" for the East Coast grid during Winter Storm Fern. He ignored renewables' year-round value, the Texas solar-battery boom, and winter risks to fossil fuels:

How can you keep power going in a blackout? Smelly, high-maintenance generators are out. Battery powered backups—which can keep fridges on for days—are in, writes columnist Nicole Nguyen. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4a9HRc4
Also known as the amount of #energystorage China deployed over a couple of afternoons in Dec 2025 :). Jk, big f' deal for the US storage industry!
Batteries are the bacon of the grid; they make everything better.
As @cleangridview.bsky.social used to say - batteries are the batteries of the grid, they make everything batteries
So. No particular order…
Tell me again we’re still the dependable nation. He’s proving Carney’s point from that speech in Davos
Convenient the markets are closed, no?
The President of the United States is a chaos agent.
Republicans in Congress endorse this with their silence.
The winter storm is a chance for batteries to defend the power grid

Somebody this stupid shouldn’t be president. Maybe some of those scientists that he fired or defunded can explain Arctic amplification to him.
Your regular reminder that Republicans in Congress approve of what the President is doing.
Sen. Hawley put more effort into blocking a power line than defending the Senate’s prerogatives on war powers.
That isn’t likely to change.
Speaking of IEEPA tariffs, Bloomberg's ace SCOTUS reporter @gregstohr.bsky.social says we can all stand down for a while.
"The court is preparing to begin a four-week recess, and under its usual procedures for releasing opinions, the next potential day for a tariff decision is Feb. 20."

I think there are basically 3 phases to the year:
Now through March/April: Trump stimulus/OBBB vibes

Here's our reporting on the proposed dismantling of the jewel of US atmospheric science, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social.
The plan is to break NCAR apart and disburse some parts to other locations (like the research aircraft fleet) and eliminate others.

I asked ESPN Research and they asked Elias Sports Bureau and they looked back as far as they could (to 1978) and it would appear Jalen Hurts is the first player to ever commit two turnovers in one play. Isn't history beautiful?
