CATL claims 6-minute charge and 1,500km range for new electric vehicle batteries Chinese group also slashes charging time in race against BYD for electric vehicle battery supremacy

1500km charge in 6 minutes!! “The boundaries of electrochemistry are still far from being reached, and the possibilities of materials science are still far from being exhausted" - Robin Zeng, CATL founder

Still think its all subsidies & copycat & no science or innovation?

Bij Pauw & De Wit gaat het over ‘een spannende dag in de Eerste Kamer’, ‘het maakte een hoop los’, ‘waar ging het mis?’, ‘wie heeft de schuld?’, ‘asieltoestand’, ‘controle op instroom’.

Lawsuit: Blaze’s Crackpot Reporting Prompted a Wild, Unnecessary FBI Raid Quickly debunked reporting based on “gait analysis” was enough to get the feds to descend with a helicopter on a falsely accused J6 pipe-bomber’s home.

Yeah, not good…

Kash Patel's FBI launched an unnecessary raid on the home of a former Capitol Police officer, based on Jan. 6 conspiracy theories from right-wing media outlet The Blaze.

At least Iran gets this part right, from one of their LEGO propaganda movies….

RUSSIA FORCED INTO OIL PRODUCTION CUTS

According to Reuters Russian oil output has had to be cut by 300-400,000 barrels per day as it no longer has the pumping and refinery capacity to cope, nor the export capacity to sell it abroad. All of course, a result of Ukraine’s drone attacks!

Ukrainian commander Mykola “Abdula” Volokhov said Russia is facing one of its most difficult periods, citing weakening alliances and mounting pressure on its oil sector. He described the coming summer as a critical window. #Ukraine

juist wel een kutland

@zegmaarcj.bsky.social Bij dat falen van die asielwetten meteen die dj meme nodig.

Dat Jetten dit campagnevoeren nog steeds toe laat maakt wel duidelijk dat de regie niet bij hem ligt.

De Minister van Asiel en Migratie.... oh wacht

Iran talks going well

Life Under Israeli Occupation in Syria's Quneitra Over a year after the fall of Assad, foreign forces have pushed past the 1974 buffer zone, where residents describe raids, checkpoints and a fragile accommodation

NEW: In Syria's Quneitra, Israeli soldiers raid homes, set up checkpoints and shoot cattle. Residents describe a fragile accommodation and a government in Damascus that lacks the means to push back, reports Anagha Nair for @newlinesmag.bsky.social . newlinesmag.com/spotlight/li...

The Corpus Christi Water Crisis Isn't Exceptional. It's Early. When drought cycles outpace infrastructure planning, a water emergency is not a surprise—it’s a forecast.

Featured: What makes Corpus Christi significant as a case is not that the drought was unpredictable. It is that the drought was predicted, and that the planning systems in place were calibrated to conditions that are no longer stable.

Trump Says America’s Oil Industry Is Cleaner Than Other Countries’. New Data Shows Massive Emissions From Texas Wells. The oil industry touts Texas as a success story in controlling climate-warming methane emissions. The state’s regulator, however, grants nearly every request to burn or vent gas into the atmosphere.

"...the concerns of Dermish and his neighbors, who continued to see flares light up the sky and to smell gas wafting over the community.

'Starting first thing in the morning, talk about the stench. Then you call the state and nothing happens,' Dermish said. 'They do absolutely nothing.'”

Another story on this farmer being exposed to oil and gas emissions. Tim went there to do the OGI work for us last year. He explained what he saw.

"They just were continuously venting the whole time we were there," he said, adding this was common at sites he visited in other provinces.

Oil Companies Accused of Massive Accounting Fraud in New Mexico Suit claims ExxonMobil and others underreported debts by $194 million, calling it ‘a playbook’ for how companies dump old wells and expenses on states

“If companies are lying about how much it would actually cost to plug and clean up their oil and gas infrastructure during these sales, then they are setting up the government and taxpayers to be stuck with the bill,” he said.

Gas Industry Eyes Comeback as New York Weighs Climate Law Delays Fossil fuel interests have enlisted prominent former elected officials to make the case that gas is here to stay.

New Yorkers will be at the governor's office today to ask her not to be a fossil fuel champion like Trump.

The idea that the gas industry is planning a "comeback" in New York in 2026 should disqualify any politician who is in charge.

Too many fossil fuel dems. Voters need to remedy that.

Important precedent set in EU law. What, how and why it matters 🧵 ⏬️

As an FYI - batteries are purchasing negatuve priced electricity in California, and pushing pricing up by 4¢/kWh.

This is coming to Spain. And Europe as a whole.
