The liquid air alternative to fossil fuels

My students often ask what tech I think is the most promising for the energy transition. There is no silver bullet. But I do tell them that batteries and other energy storage solutions (and other energy carriers) are an exciting and important space
The liquid air alternative to fossil fuels
An overlooked technology for nearly 50 years, the first liquid air battery facility is finally set to power up in 2026.

There are some people whom the media has decided are "leading intellectuals", regardless of the views of their academic colleagues. Invariably they are people who justify - or at the very least do not challenge - economic power. Steven Pinker is a stand-out example.

Contrary to Reason
Steven Pinker claims to champion Enlightenment values. But his latest book is an affront to them

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Not just that you will be punished for standing up for the oppressed, but that you will be ritually humiliated and made an example of.

As a primatologist, Jane Goodall was a huge inspiration to me. I admired the way she describes chimpanzee behavior with such detail and empathy, and she’s inspired so many people and advocated for chimpanzee conservation and welfare.

However, I'm dismayed at what her narrative leaves out (1/10)

"For Professor Steer, who has been skippering the state's official response to the bloom, the algae has taken the nation into uncharted waters."

There is an 'official state response'? Wow, that'll make all the difference.

Meat is a blind spot for people who care about climate. When I used to have dinner with my colleague Wally Broecker, the climate scientist who coined the term “global warming”, he would always order a steak.
