If we’re going to build successful movements, that requires that we work on ourselves, too. A whole lot of people are out here listening to talk instead of listening to understand.
When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

I don't think this is an absolute maxim that should govern everything we do but I do think that what we pay attention to grows (in our hearts and minds) and paying attention to different things has made my life immensely better.
Have you read Part One of @ketanjoshi.co's two-part series unpacking the collapsing core case for gas?

The current model rewards utilities for spending capital. The more the better.
Inefficient wires = more earnings.
But in a world of batteries, software, and flexible load, that model is outdated.
Utilities should earn more when the existing system is used more efficiently.
It’s a Wonderful Life bank run scene.
“You're thinking of the $175 billion in tariff money all wrong. As if I had the money back in a safe. The money's not here. Your money's in the White House ballroom, the renaming of the Department of Defense, the $10 billion transfer to the Board of Peace, and a hundred other unauthorized actions.”

That’s incredible! 😳 Congrats!!
I for one would expect more than “hours” spent on aero efficiency. 🙃 I’d be more forgiving if you hadn’t just killed the best F-150 ever made. ⚡️💔

Great to see the EV incentives back. Looking forward to learning more about the charging infrastructure plans and the (hopefully) upcoming grid expansion.

Very cool seeing batteries last so long at such a massive scale.
Good morning with good news: EV sales in China, for the first time, were greater than ICE autos in 2025, an historic milestone.
Sales of ICE autos fell for the eighth straight year and are back to their 2010 level! Wow!
When will China, world's largest auto market, be another Norway?

GEORGE LAKOFF'S TRUTH SANDWICH ALWAYS FRAME THE TRUTH FIRST. INDICATE THE LIE AND THE FACT THAT IT'S A LIE. RETURN IMMEDIATELY TO THE TRUTH. RUTH MUST ALWAYS BE REPEATED MORE THAN THE LIE
A reminder!
George Lakoff came up with the 'truth sandwich' concept during Trump's first term. It's not magic but it's good basic information hygiene and should be the default when fighting against bullshit

Excellent 🧵
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
Thank you. 🙏💔😡
I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...
Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.
So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.
Sigen is incredible.
Reading this after the post about “who needs” larger car batteries, I forgot all about V2X. Having batteries big enough to power your whole house, even after returning from a trip is mind blowing. Yes larger means higher costs & greater weight, but damn are they nice to have.
Plus ideally I’d be able to do this starting at 80% charge and have 10% upon return to maximize battery longevity, optimize charging speeds, and reduce anxiety.
Certainly a luxury. But I for one love how the old weakness of EVs is starting to turn into one of their greatest strengths.
Need is a strong word, but I want 810km+ range. This is usually WLTP and lose ~20% for the more realistic EPA. Take off another 10% for cold 🇨🇦 winters and 15% for non-eco driving behaviour, and I need to charge mid-trip for anything less. Certainly doable, but I can do solar-only otherwise.
It’s what, a 22kWh battery? J1772 plenty for that. The bigger issue of laziness is Toyota selling a hybrid in 2026 given today’s battery tech. Really wish Toyota would step up their game.
My solar setup continues to impress. The panels are covered by over 6” of snow on a cloudy day, and they are still producing over half of my daytime load. Can’t charge the batteries, but they have plenty of juice to make it to midnight when they’ll recharge @ 3¢ / kWh using excess grid energy.
If Trump or Vance or Musk do something that seems completely irrational to you, ask yourself “is this getting them more attention?”
If the answer is “yes” then actually it makes perfect sense.
And the answer will always be yes.
Gorgeous looking vehicle. I hope Twig loves it.
