I am a million miles from expert on this stuff (I’m a healthcare guy), but I find this conversation incredibly encouraging. Thanks for studying this stuff, y’all!
Can they work for cooling as well as heating? Is it essentially an enormous heat pump?
So that’s a heat tower?! How does it hold the heat?
I’ve never heard of a heat network. Is that something that spans a neighborhood, or a city, or….?
I seem to remember hearing a couple years ago that a lithium recycling project was producing batteries that were BETTER than the source batteries. Am I making that up?
Yeah it’s a tricky balance, right? Like the chemo comparison higher up the thread, the cancer will definitely kill us if we don’t take action, but it’s important IMO that we’re honest about the costs of chemo.
Super cool, thank you! And yeah applying the tech towards public transit instead of focusing on cars is such a no-brainer.
I don’t think I’ve heard that it’s *worse* than fossil fuel extraction, but I have heard that it can be quite bad, and I don’t think we should ignore that.
That second piece is quite noteworthy. Thank you.
Thank you for the honest assessment and reply.

Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.
Thank you. I have heard serious concerns about the environmental and human impacts of lithium mining. Are we finding solutions for that?
What is the clear pathway? (Sincere question, not trying to be a jerk)

The crowd did not disperse, an instead started playing Tubthumping by Chumbawamba — I get knocked down, but I get up again.

Rain hasn't deterred people gathered at ICE. Sidewalks are full and so are the costumes.

Tifo at the Portland Timbers match tonight celebrates the many nations from which our players come, as ICE assaults immigrants and their allies in the city under the false pretense of an “emergency.”

The regime tried to scare people and failed. That's good.
I apologize if my reply came off as confrontational. I am genuinely trying to think about better/safer approaches.
If the warnings were being heeded, what do you think might look different?

The US federal attack on Portland has resulted in the best advertisement for a city that I have ever seen. Round-the-clock joy, community solidarity and silliness that much of the West has lost and longs for.
