Trump gets his annual influenza and updated Covid-19 vaccinations, while supporting his buddy RFK jr in undermining vaccination campaigns for ordinary Americans.

Is een binnenkoer van een gevangenis niet wat klein voor een triathlon?

Chansard. Omdat het een mastjaar is, valt het netto nog mee maar hier toch redelijk wat aangetaste noten.

Een paar weken terug niet te veel zwarte bolsters gehad omwille van de walnootboorvlieg?

Dit is gewoon volstrekt knetter en toch haalt het nauwelijks nog krantenkoppen. Terwijl men loopt te neuten over "Antifa" en "links geweld" hebben we een "rechtse" president die voor top van het Amerikaans leger oorlog verklaart aan mensen die niet voor hem hebben gestemd.

If lithium were scarce, which it isn't, the price couldn't be the same.

CATL Sodium Ion Batteries Lower Cost Than Lithium Ion Batteries | NextBigFuture.com CATL has three groundbreaking EV batteries but the most important is Sodium ion batteries that could lower the cost of batteries.

Question. What is the source of the price point of the CATL sodium-ion cells? This link mentions $10/kWh is only material cost. When that were true, they couldn't make enough of them.

Farage-man blijkt geld te krijgen van Poetin. Dat zag u natuurlijk ook niet aankomen, hè?

Geen van beiden... Tesla achterna is te laat, L&H is software die niet bestond. Deze trucks bestaan. Nog kwestie van ze in grote aantallen betrouwbaar te produceren, aan te passen aan de Europese markt en dealernetwerk uit te bouwen.
Of hij gaat slagen... af te wachten.

Die verbruiken dan allicht ook een paar 100 W.

Toch maar mee uitkijken.
Het ding is allicht niet Synergrid goedgekeurd.
Bovendien, 500 W vermogen is niet niks voor een 12 V circuit.
De DC/DC omvormer is allicht niet voorzien om continu dat vermogen te leveren.
Bovendien een slecht rendement.

Why every Sankey diagram you've ever seen is wrong The current debate over the Primary Energy Fallacy, has shone a light on the humble Sankey diagram. But what if those diagrams are missing something increasingly important?

This invasion is giant mistake. I should have let Ukraine join NATO and only then invaded. The alliance would have just had some meetings about it.

En dat van die extreem linkse main stream media.

Yup, and prices of batteries and imported electric cars through the roof. To keep on burning oil also.

Al dat geblaat over "links" die politiek geweld zou aanmoedigen of verheerlijken. Dit is bericht zoon president VS.

De bullshit mag stoppen.

‘There is only one player’: why China is becoming a world leader in green energy As US reneges on climate breakdown pledges, China’s response to crisis will shape geopolitics and our future

Any politician who uses the trope of "why should we decarbonise if China continues to build coal?" should be shot into the sun.

Any politician who can't see that China is shaping up to dominate the energy transition should be sent to a re-education camp*.

We zitten toch een eind af van de piekbelasting in de winter.
Eerder opstartkosten om een korte piek op te vangen?

Hier is veel te weinig aandacht voor: de Baltische landen en Polen zijn uit het Ottawaverdrag gestapt. Wat betekent dat? Het Ottawaverdrag zegt dat je geen mijnen mag leggen in vredestijd.

Dying for gold: who killed the miners of Buffelsfontein? South Africa’s government blockaded hundreds underground. The results were deadly

At least 90 illegal gold miners starved to death when the South African government decided to crack down on their operations. Absolutely harrowing read and I don't understand how this didn't make it to world news.

EAF does only melt iron. It does not reduce iron ore.
My bet is that molten oxide electrolysis of iron ore (Boston Metals) will win over reduction with hydrogen.

And Dems want to know why they don't have the youth vote!?!

Analysis: China Releases New Green Power Consumption Quotas China released its new renewable power consumption quotas last week and added heavy industry into the list of obligated entities. A Big Deal! I haven't put out any public commentary for China's Renewa...

China is requiring for the 1st time that steel&cement plants buy renewable electricity. Along with the increased minimum percentage of renewables for distribution firms, this boosts demand just as new solar&wind projects have to secure contracts directly with buyers.

What I learned at school regarding bullies is that sometimes you need throw a well aimed left hook. In this case form a coalition of retaliation (EU, Mexico, Canada, Brazil, China, …) and reciprocate with passion. Game Set Match.

Hi @mliebreich.bsky.social , your #Hydrogensoufflé of the week.

Down here we say in Dutch: 'postponing leads to cancelling'

You don't like it? Go somewhere else! as said by Richard Feynman in one of his lectures at University of Auckland.

Smart charging is NOT a new idea:

Here's an example from 1912 when smart and off peak charging was suggested as a solution to capacity constraints.
