NOW can we have funds for renewable energy?

We know bro

what does your old gangster buddy think of all of this? does he make you toss his salad prison style?

I'm still not sold that it's cost effective

I'm sure it's cheaper now than when I put mine in but I had a 9 year payout on mine with a 25 year estimated lifespan. Probably saves at least $2000 a year on utilities.

press release essentially, but this is cool as

a "brick toaster" that purportedly stores energy with 98% efficiency at 20% the cost of an electrochemical battery.

it's reportedly capable of putting out at 1500 degrees C, hot enough for ~80% of industrial applications.

New atlas is not a credible source.

The issue with powering ships with batteries is the materials cost being massively prohibitive. The interesting development in battery power are the solid state sodium batteries but they are structurally unstable and are nowhere near the energy density needed for said applications.

nothing will help if the 150 years of GHG aren't removed from the atmosphere.
