I enjoy reading about innovative science but headlines like this are not helpful. They give less attentive readers the false believe that a breakthrough is eminent that will lead to “infinite” #energy. It’s click bait.

The way it goes down for me: I generally just procrastinate so long that my spouse gets embarrassed for me and she gifts me something. She knows what looks good on me better than I do anyway.

This chart from @modoenergyusa.bsky.social is great and really clearly demonstrates the economics of #BESS and how developers and operators decide what the market signals are for short vs longer term batteries in the market.

This fact from @semafor.com struck me: Africa accounts for less than 4% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, yet has many of the countries that are most vulnerable to its impacts.

It's unfortunate for the rest of us that this quote will come back to haunt Chris Wright: "Climate change, for impacting the quality of your life, is not incredibly important,” Mr. Wright said. “In fact, if it wasn’t in the news, in the media, you wouldn’t know."
