U.S. Grid-Scale Battery Production to Support 100% of Renewable Generating Capacity Domestic manufacturing of grid-scale battery storage systems now meets the needs of the nation’s ever-expanding wind and solar generating systems.

U.S. grid-battery production has gone from 0 in 2024 to 145 GWh/year by the end of 2026, enough to provide batteries to support all wind and solar in the U.S.

Just wanted to note that certain small talk is made exponentially more difficult by my profession.

Yes, dental hygienist, I am a volcanologist. No, I cannot answer all of the volcano questions you bottled and stored for a lifetime with my jaw practically unhinged while you abrade my mouth stones.

The death penalty is one of our society's most egregious failings, but this instance is one of the worst of the worst.

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

Just thought I should clarify (and yes, both are extremely BAD ideas).

A Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump with a diagram of a volcano with cement plugging the vent. The caption reads "Why has no one ever experimented with placing cement in the mouth of volcanoes considlered (sic) active, as in the image, or heavy metal rocks. And when erupting the lava would be blocked, preventing deaths and accidents."

Every day I think we've plumbed the absolute depths of human stupidity, and somehow every day this sentient slime mold manages to move the bar closer to the planet'd nickel-iron core. 🤦

Volcanoes with plugs in the vent are how you get MOUNT ST. HELENS, you ignoramus.

As an air pollution guy this is straight up false. EPA called them "stationary sources" and you cannot operate one without a permit. It couldn't be more simple

The Trump Administration believes they can reject science and damn the consequences.

This period in US history will now be known as the FAFO Era.

The people in power are completely, utterly, & abjectly terrified of facts. They fear journalism, science, data, & general powers of observation.

By making entire swathes of the population question objective reality, they are poisoning the well & trying to shield themselves.

Do not let them.
