Nice to see Noon Energy is progressing to the manufacturing phase. It's a competitor to Form Energy in the LDES space but it is basically a carbon flow battery. Similar round trip efficiencies to lithium ion but three times the energy density. www.latitudemedia.com/news/noon-en...
Noon Energy successfully demos its 100-hour carbon-oxygen battery
The reversible solid oxide fuel cell battery has now operated for thousands of hours, with even more capacity than anticipated.

Great podcast about Leaft Foods. Basically they are extracting RuBisCo protein from plant leaves and it naturally has a better amino acid profile than beef while also having properties similar to egg protein so it can substitute eggs in baking products

Well I can tell you one thing EVs do not prevent: rodents wanting to live in the front trunk area. Living that one car life while EV #1 gets repaired. EV #2 hasn't been fully inspected yet. This happened once before around 2016 with my Focus Electric too.

New from us: India’s coal-fired power generation fell in 2025 by 3%, only the second drop for a full calendar year since the 1970s, and the first one driven to a significant degree by clean power growth - the only other time coal power fell was due to Covid-19.

Humans have emitted 2750 gigatons of CO2 since the industrial revolution from burning fossil fuels and land use change. To put this in perspective, this is more than the (dry) mass of all living things on earth and everything humans have ever built combined:

I don't think attacking the Russian oil industry-the working engine of russia's war machine, is the same as burying 4-year-old girls under the rubble of their homes before Christmas, or plunging a city of a million people into cold and darkness in the dead of winter.
Q: Some are saying Russia's recent attacks show Putin isn't serious about peace
TRUMP: Ukraine has made some very strong attacks also. I don't say that negatively. There have been explosions in various parts of Russia. I don't think it came from the Congo. I don't think it came from the USA.
