Im a big fan of Corb Lund's brand of alt country music. I'm very happy that he is using his platform to push back against the coal industry.

This is wild. $65/MWh starts to make these #nuclear and methane powered options look very uneconomical.

Battery storage hits $65/MWh – a tipping point for solar
Turning cheap daytime solar into electricity you can actually use at night just got a lot cheaper. A new analysis from energy think tank Ember shows that utility-scale battery storage costs have fallen to $65 per megawatt-hour (MWh) as of October 2025 in markets outside China and the US. At that level, pairing solar with batteries to deliver power when it’s needed is now economically viable.

Well 11 GW is not nothing for Q3 in USA. On the other hand China delivered well over 100GW in that same time period.
For reference a typical #nuclear reactor is about 1GW.

This iconic Fabian Todorovic cartoon is still one of the best I’ve seen at illustrating the remarkable amount of space we surrender to cars, leaving little space left for everyone and everything else. The text added later makes the bonus point that many drivers still manage to complain about it.

Big batteries dominate early morning peak with 40.6 of demand because prices too low for gas and as rooftop PV floods the grid for rest of day.

Algoma Steel's pending electric transition is set to drastically reduce the amount of toxic pollution the plant expels. A recent study reveals that when coke ovens go dark, the health benefits can be so drastic and immediate that it is akin to quitting smoking

In our ever-more siloed informational environment, having places and spaces where spirited disagreement can happen under one digital roof is an important bulwark against the polarization that too often defines our political conversations.
