Yes, 2 years is a long time in the renewable energy world!
They are cheaper, more consistent functioning over temperature differentials, no problem with fire. The problem is energy density. Have the Chinese solved this? Also conversion from a lithium battery factory to a sodium battery factory is relatively easy, I've heard.
An excellent and important article! Thanks, Eden!
I wouldn't trust him on financial matters either.
Every day we encounter the disasters churned out by a clueless administration. Trump/Hegseth gutted the agency that protected civilians during wars, updating locations of hospitals, schools, and other civilian targets. It sounded too woke for their taste. So they bombed a girls' school. A tragedy.
Thanks!
Hahahaha!
What is the name of the toxic element in the spray?
It is amazing how much of the agenda of horror is in Project2025. And yes, as climate change undermines the insurance business model, we are more reliant on FEMA than ever. It is life-threatening to render this agency powerless to help people.
Waste of time, waste of money, waste of our attention.
Thanks fir the glimpse! Denmark is wonderful! And the countries around the North Sea do have a great wind resource, not as much as Patagonia, but enough that it nears the old "baseload" function.
Absolutely we need to get off of fossil fuels. Trump taking US backwards, denies climate change+tries to stop renewables. Europe has steadily built up a significant policy agenda around defossilizing energy and industry. My comment merely points out that Denmark is embedded in that Transition.
Denmark is part of the European Union, and an important and innovative part of the European Energy Transition. There are collaborative efforts among the countries of the EU. Why is the role of the EU ignored? CCUS, defossilized industry, green hydrogen, clean energy are all promoted by the EU.
Haha! An Eagle to eat all the documents he doesn't like? Better than clogging the toilets with them, as he used to do!
The IEA said a few years ago that we only have half of the technologies needed to ensure a transition to climate-friendly world. I hope these innovations contribute to that goal!
The whole point of keeping the various gov't data sets hermetically sealed from each other was to add an additional layer of safety. Even if one piece of data were revealed, it couldn't reveal much.Musk wants a big integrated data set, searchable, AI-controllable, for his own nefarious purposes! Ugh
If the UK and Europe want to know what the far right will do to their countries, just take a look at what you-know-who has done to the US. He claimed to be the champion of the working class, but he just used them to come to power. Now he only serves the billionaire class, including himself.
Marc Elias will go down in history as a true American hero, a defender of democracy. I am so grateful.

Why would any country throw away $1 billion that it could easily use for better purposes, and provide that money to a mad wannabe dictator?
Europeans are sick of supporting this fascist state that undermines everything Europe tries to do. Orban out of Hungary or Hungary out of the EU!
As the world teeters between the International Rules-Based Order that we so carefully constructed after WWII and the Donroe Doctrine of re-hemisphering power domains, Mark Carney'speech at Davos shines forth as a Masterclass of geopolitical wisdom. The free world should continue to unite under IRBO.
And guess what his new scheme, the Board of Peace will bring him. Each country that joins must pay $1 billion that Trump will "control," that is, into his personal pocket!
His dear friend Putin has already been invited to join the Board of Peace!
Yes. Even the Supreme Court gave permission to what it euphemistically called "gratuities," rather than bribes.
Sorry about the typos! World order, and Presidency, of course!
T has found another creative Get Rich Quick scheme. He wants to replace the current world oder with a private club called the Board of Peace. Screened and invited member countries would give him $1 billion each. The Pesidency is now a cash cow.
Dems in Congress should block funding to DHS unless ICE required to comply with Constitutional policing: no masks, body cams, ID badges, no immunity, train in de-escalation, warrants. Further, the unjustified high number targets for detention/deportation should be eliminated since lead to excess.
Miles Taylor tells Jen Psaki that in 1st term, T sought ways to increase his powers unchecked, and was told about the Insurrection Act. So for 10 years his goal is the absolute authority he thinks it permits - a "magical authority." We need more limits on such Emergency powers.
Americans are very aware of this. We have watched the T admin tear apart our federal agencies, give the President unconstitutional immunity, Repub majority in Congress become obedient rather than a check on executive powers. And now lawless thugs roam the cities inflicting harm, kidnapping, killing.
