Criminal charges for 2 men ignoring #FireSafety #chemistry101 at Modesto, CA waste facility.
1⃣Waste powdered magnesium & aluminum is pyrophoric-ignited spontaneously in air.
2⃣Firefighters mistakenly added water to Mg & Al: produced hydrogen gas. H2 made secondary explosion!

From Kristi Noem being fired to Lindsey Halligan being investigated by the Florida state bar for misconduct, feels like at least a little bit of accountability karma.
Let's jump on Substack live for our Community Meeting at 8:30 pm ET to discuss.

Yes, a decade ago I took his Energy Startup class from MIT Executive Education. Very insightful!
His official title now: Ethernet Inventors Professor of the Practice at the MIT Sloan School of Management and the Managing Director of the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship.
Yet another piece of AI slop from Michael Barnard, with yet another AI-slop image.
(My figure shows how his monthly post count is way up since AI came out-- <5 posts to 30+ each month!)
At least he's an equal-opportunity hater: he hates everything but batteries: hydrogen, geothermal...
Great to see!

NEW: The Florida-based lawyer leading the charge in Trump’s effort to issue an executive order that would enable a federal takeover of the upcoming elections shared his reasoning.
And one legal expert immediately tore it to shreds.

Well, this looks fun.
In Virginia, one of the world’s main data center hubs, the technology could consume 41 percent to 59 percent of electricity by 2030, up from 25 percent today, EPRI said.

Last year Plug Power cancelled their green hydrogen plant at the Science, Technology, and Advanced Manufacturing Park #STAMP in W NY; now they are monetizing $132.5MM of their sunk costs with Stream Data Centers, who's been working for years on a data center at STAMP.

Yes, thanks to those weather forecasting, etc. improvements, the 2024 death rate is ~4x lower than the increase in cost damage since the 1980s!
Meanwhile, our government continues trying to gut all those weather forecasting, etc. departments...
More proof for climate skeptics that the climate is changing. Just look at the increases in extreme weather KPIs since the 1980s:
- 8.2x more $1B weather events per year
- 8.3x greater damage per yr
- 1.9x greater deaths per yr
At 2024 rate, cumulative 2025-2030 cost will be $1.1B!

About 800,000 used cars from Europe get exported to countries like Africa every year.
Not only does the EU miss out on the recycling it also means that buying new EVs etc doesn't remove older dirty cars from the road. It just moves them to a country with worse regs.

As @hypx.bsky.social says, replacing the energy a Boeing 747-300 needs with a battery would require a battery that is 5.8 million pounds–nearly seven times the weight of a fully-fueled plane.

Nope!
It seems similar to the "well-meaning" "Voter ID" attempts down here which actually do not make the vote more secure, but cause voter suppression.
As a small business owner, I value the SBA.
But seeing ICE and CBP weaponize once-private data, this SBA "security" upgrade feels like another quiet pipeline to harvest and weaponize our private information.
This should worry every small business.
Some are trying to blame Governor Newsom & "the left" for the large increase in California's electricity rates.
@canarymedia.com points out the actual reasons:
1️⃣Repairs & grid upgrades due to the climate change-driven increase in wildfires
2️⃣Solar generation reduces utility electricity sales
