Sand batteries are literally just silos of sand that retain heat exceptionally well -- so well that they can be tied to heat exchange systems to serve as proxy *electrical* batteries. Finland's new model can store enough power (100 MWh) to heat an entire town for a week.

It's official: Last month was the warmest ever March in Europe and the 2nd warmest in the world

Early Spring feels more and more like Summer, making drought & wildfires more likely later

Time to make climate polluters pay

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

More than one million Canadians visited New York City last year, injecting hundreds of millions of dollars into the local economy. Now, they are canceling trips in droves. Often, the reason cited is President Trump’s escalating hostility toward Canada and repeated threats to make it the 51st state.
How Trump’s Hostility to Canada Is Inflicting Pain on N.Y.C. Tourism
Among international tourists, only the British visit New York City more than Canadians, who spent $600 million there last year.

Von wegen «kein extremistischer Hintergrund»: Dass der Attentäter von #Mannheim sich in Neonazikreise bewegt hatte, wurde in Schweizer Medien nur vereinzelt aufgegriffen.

NEWS: Trump abruptly assembled his cabinet today to let them know Elon MUSK is not in charge of hiring/firing -- they are.

It was an abrupt admonition that appeared aimed at the mounting legal scrutiny of Musk's power over the government.

🇩🇪 ist die drittgrößte Volkswirtschaft der Welt. Morgen wählen wir - entweder für eine moderne, klimaneutrale Wirtschaft, oder für die Rückkehr zu Technologien des letzten Jahrhunderts. Lasst euch nicht für dumm verkaufen mit Scheinlösungen, die nur das fossile Geschäftsmodell noch etwas verlängern.

Another day witnessing the collapse of everything ...

At 21.043°C, the global sea-surface temperature is now ranked officially as "gobsmacking bananas." This temperature is now less than 0.13°C from being in "uncharted territory."

Stay tuned for more bananas!

Die Wähler wünschen mehr Klimaschutz!

Selbst bei AfD und Union wollen nur 7 bzw. 6% weniger. Warum wollen diese Parteien den Klimaschutz dann zurückdrehen?

Heizungsgesetz weg, Verbrenner verlängern, Windräder abreißen, realitätsferne Scheinlösungen wie Kernkraft…?
