Industrial heat is one of the hardest parts of the energy transition.
This sand battery is now delivering fossil-free heat for industry, storing renewable electricity as high-temperature heat and releasing it when needed. Simple idea, big impact.

Hopefully soon! Canada has got to move faster.
In the meantime, a lot of the advice in the Nordic ones is generally applicable, and they are available in other languages including French and English. For instance Finlandβs digital brochure (linkπ).

Trump's golden age π
The Kremlinβs propaganda machine works overtime to hide one embarrassing stat: 0/23.
Since the start of the full-scale invasion, Russia has failed to capture and hold a single one of the 23 regional capital or special status cities Ukraine controlled in 2022.
What a failure!
All crypto is a scam.

The world must not turn a blind eye to Russian attacks.
When there is no global response, the strikes become more frequent and increasingly brutal. This can be stopped through real support for Ukraine and our defense.
We need missiles for air defense systems and weapons for our warriors, who hold back this aggression every single day.

We now need to say it out load:
#US is complicit in war crimes.
We should all demand the strongest possible reaction from #Europe and other democratic forces around the world.

Anyone who still doesn't consider Trump an ally of Putin is living in a fantasy world.
Why have we accepted that the US gets to compete in the Olympics after the US has invaded Venezuela, repeatedly threatened to invade Canada and Greenland, threatened Cuba and Panama. What more has to happen? The US HAS GONE ROGUE. It is not a normal country anymore. Why are we still pretending?
