Learned enough history to recognize that US democracy is at risk. Learned enough law to see that the complicity of members of one political party is the root cause.

Industrial heat is one of the hardest parts of the energy transition.
This sand battery is now delivering fossil-free heat for industry, storing renewable electricity as high-temperature heat and releasing it when needed. Simple idea, big impact.

Has any journalist asked Trump either for the name of the staffer who posted the Obama jungle clip or whether he or she has been fired? To have Trump's nonsensical answer, whatever it will be, would be nice.

Organized action averted ethnic cleansing in Ohio for now. But DHS hasn't been idle, turning attention to voting. This is all connected: Trump tells lies about immigrants voting; this becomes an excuse to make it harder for citizens to vote; DHS is central to both

Hey, @pbump.com, all those rich guys you just referenced haven't lived under fascism or a tyranny and probably never studied a thing about it. So they think it's no big deal. By the time the first one or two fly out a window, it will be to late.
