Industry rightly claims that 99% of US lead-acid batteries are recycled.

When done cheaply, that recycled lead comes at a grave cost to workers and communities around the world.

Second part of this great, devastating, reporting.

"As the auto industry struggled through the subsequent financial crisis, other car companies and battery retailers also declined to sign on. Green Lead collapsed"

The fashion industry is ready to innovate. Epic Group’s move to install high-temperature heat pumps is a real step toward fossil-free fashion.

The energy transition happens often in unlikely places at unprecedented rates.

Take Nepal: Over the past year, electric vehicles accounted for 76 percent of all passenger vehicles and half of the light commercial vehicles sold in Nepal.

Five years ago, that number was essentially zero.

In recent years I’ve seen a lot of misinformation around heat pumps.

Marek Miara at Heat Pumps Watch tackles misinformation in his recent article and delivers a strong reminder: many of the common objections simply don’t hold up.

Hat Reiche ihre Cookies gelöscht?

Vor 14 Tagen forderte die Wirtschaftsministerin ein starkes Kartellrecht gegen marktbeherrschende Stellungen.

Jetzt will sie die EU-Regeln für US-Digitalkonzerne schleifen.

Easily one of the best decisions in my life was to add PV to the house 5 years ago. It is enabling so much. Heating, transport and its cheap which means independence, we don't have to work as much for energy.

I wonder why this is so unpopular. Can you imagine how nice a little village would be with this density? Biobased, super efficient housing, prepared for heat and cold, coop-gardens and other shared infrastructure, walkable pub, super market, doctor, train station.
Timber and straw, modern efficient and sufficient village life as a co-benefit of CO2 storage.

Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

Is it enough to wear a suit, or have a title, to get away with this. They don't even try to justify anything anymore. They are simply betraying humanity to let some organisation win, this is not just a matter of 1 country.
I wonder if Gene Roddenberry saw that as a possibility on 1 of the planets.
Australia was in the BELEM DECLARATION ON THE TRANSITION AWAY FROM FOSSIL FUELS for about 24 hours, before its Prime Minister declared that you need to extract more gas to help the transition away from fossil fuels.

A recent EIA article said:

"Although natural gas generation still provides more electricity than any other source in California..."

This is incorrect. If you include rooftop generation, solar is now the largest source.

Q1-Q3 2025

All Solar = 73 TWh
Gas = 54 TWh

The decisions we make in public policy have consequences. And when regional decisions intersect with global ones, climate change can exacerbate poor choices. The converse is true as well poor global decisions can have negative impacts on regional & local conditions. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋
