Good morning with good news: "Battery pack prices for stationary storage fell to $70/kWh in 2025, 45% lower than in 2024," reports BNEF.

45% down in 2025, after ~40% down in 2024!

Wow!

Cheap battery storage makes solar top global new generation tech!

Student campaigners made this happen! 🎉

This year, the rising tide of Fossil Free Careers campaigns secured commitments from 8 universities to stop platforming some of the most deadly and destructive industries on the planet.

This is what student power looks like! 💪

Have you ever had a bad neighbor? The kind that makes you sick, literally?

Big Oil company Energy Transfer is all of our neighbors. Their long history of spills, explosions, emissions, and safety violations proves that they’re harming communities.

And last week I documented even more pollution blasting from Energy Transfer facilities.

Here's another blowdown at the Energy Transfer Compressor Station 176.

In all my years for documenting pollution I can honestly say that in my opinion Energy Transfer is the worst.
