Got some good news about fossil fuels
Today's #HydrogenSoufflé comes to you from Norway. In 2022 the Public Roads Administration awarded a 4.9bn NOK ($520 million) contract for 2 #hydrogen ferries. Internal documents found by NRK show the fuel cell lifetime may be less than 10% of the 7.5 years promised.

Excellent overview of the consequences of the Israeli/US attack on Iran on energy issues in Southeast Asia by @cna-poster.bsky.social. The stubborn irrationality of Southeast Asian countries increasingly relying on fossil fuel imports as a strange phenomenon

SCMP: "The European Union has been urged by the EU’s official think tank to weaponise its giant market to draw concessions from China, whose economic fragility is making it increasingly reliant on rich export markets."

I have to admit, seeing 3 Tesla cyber trucks parked side-by-side is pretty cool
Why Tesla robotaxis can't go driverless:
-4x more likely to crash vs humans
-3x more likely to cause an injury crash vs humans
-FSD knowingly runs red lights/drives the wrong way
-Tesla can't explain why
-Regulatory strangle: 1000s of new FSD crashes found

Just announced: Iceland has urgently moved up its referendum to join the European Union - to 29 August.
A reminder: 🇮🇸 is in many ways already a non-voting 🇪🇺 member because of the EEA. This would give them voting power to shape the laws they have to follow.
All set for a spectacular collapse of Tesla's 379 p/e ratio
"the findings indicate that hundreds of millions more people — particularly in Vietnam 🇻🇳 , the Philippines 🇵🇭 , Indonesia 🇮🇩, the Maldives 🇲🇻 and other Southeast Asian and Pacific nations — are living closer to sea level than widely assumed by Western experts and policymakers."

People say BlueSky is an echo chamber but we have road cyclists, gravel cyclists, mountain bikers, single speeders, fixie riders, cargo bike riders, e-bike riders, hybrid riders, recumbent riders, bikepackers, randonneurs, and I'm sure we even have a few unicyclists among us
NEW ANALYSIS: UK emissions fell 2.4% in 2025 as coal fell to a 400-year low. Incredibly, we used less coal last year than than in 1600, when Queen Elizabeth I was on the throne and Shakespeare was writing Hamlet.

LLM prose is everywhere now. How did it happen so quickly? A 25-year-old essay about Don DeLillo and Cormac McCarthy accidentally diagnosed the whole thing. new post
Over 40% of global shipping by volume exists to move fossil fuels from one place to another.
A huge share of the world's maritime infrastructure has been built around a system that is going to change dramatically as renewable energy and electrification displace fossil fuels.
If journal chief editors build a community around their journal, getting reviews will not be so difficult. The core of the community is other editors (should appoint many), the editorial board (should be large), and people who publish in the journal (make them register and commit - upon submission).
Trouble finding reviewers is mainly because journal editors do it the wrong way. 1) Have a big editorial board, and make sure all members do reviews. 2) Anyone who submits to the journal and especially who is published there, should do reviews. 3) Screen articles before sending for review. Etc, etc.
Despite the large-scale instability in the Middle East, the prices of wind and sunshine remain unchanged.
A response to Ziroth here that takes issue with the inferrences Ryan draws.
In particular, a sodium-ion battery could also have a similar voltage curve to NMC li-ion and the VTT tests of the Donut device.

Hard to believe but wind prices stayed constant today
Ryan Inis/Zyroth is sure that Donut SSB is a lithium battery. He pledges that if it really doesn't contain any lithium, he will donate 5000 dollars to a charity to be chosen by Donut Labs. He sees 0.1% chance that Donut's claims are generally true.

An optimistic take on Donut Lab's claimed solid state battery. But there is no getting around the fact that a lot more independent testing is needed.

The solar panels, batteries, electric vehicles (EVs) and wind turbines exported from China in 2024 are set to cut annual CO2 emissions in the rest of the world by 1%, some 220m tonnes (MtCO2). www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-chi...
