Silly question, @engineerlondon.bsky.social: is transformer coolant flammable? Is it a heat pumping system with phase changes, or just coolant flowing through components? Either way, spectacular how a substation can go up and how long it can burn

Pro-fossil-fuel messaging is basically like

Look at this terrifying scene: happy, healthy animals running through co-located wind and solar energy farm cranking out clean energy in a grassy field.

"It’s more appropriate to think of the lithium-ion battery not as a single invention, but as a steady accumulation of many inventions that were needed to both make a battery practical and to unlock its full potential."

This is true of all innovation.

How We Got the Lithium-Ion Battery
It took decades of research, performed around the world, before a practical lithium-ion battery was possible.

Looking to connect with folks in the #climate space. I cofounded Google's biggest internal climate group, am now a climate investor with a very extensive network in the industry. Would love to find more #cleantech accounts.
