Industrial heat is one of the hardest parts of the energy transition. This sand battery is now delivering fossil-free heat for industry, storing renewable electricity as high-temperature heat and releasing it when needed. Simple idea, big impact.

I can admit that there are some things #Trump has done with which I support. #Nuance not #dogmatism is my goal. However, the cruelty and lawlessness far outweighs any of that. I can't sit down with you at this point if you support him. #ICE is Trump's army. What more need you see?! #Resist

"These #tariffs are not tied to any economic emergency. They are explicitly being used as political coercion to force sovereign nations to comply with the #Trump regime’s demands. Tariffs ...would raise prices in the United States while damaging relationships with #allies." #Greenland #Annexation

"It might seem obvious that differences in each person’s immune system can affect how well they fight off pathogens. But uncovering the specific causes of this variation has enabled researchers to find ways to treat and even prevent severe infections that used to seem like random cases of bad luck"

Each of us has been told not to push back because “people would lose their jobs.” Refrains heard in the hallways include: “What I’m being asked to do feels wrong, but I need my health insurance” and “we have to keep our heads down and avoid putting a target on our backs.” #NIH #Science #Trump #DEI

“It’s shooting ourselves in the foot that we’re not going to be able to influence the policy implications,” she said. “So this idea that the U.S. is somehow better off not even being part of the international community on this is clearly just not true on the face of it.” #science #IPCC #Climate

Does anybody subscribe to a monthly service to an #HVAC, #electrical, and/or #plumbing service? I have for several years but the company I've used for all 3 raised their yearly rate from about $100/yr. to $360/yr. They give 10% discount on work and a regular check-ups of systems.

It's wholesome and oddly depressing to me that Al Gore, 77, not owing anyone shit, is still criss-crossing the globe full-time warning people about climate change, raising money for climate projects, mentoring the next generation of environmentalists, and generally being obsessed with this issue.

This is a great explanation about how the #immune response works and why #vaccines are so important. The gentleman also touches on the false equivalency on risk between getting a disease and the side effects of getting a vaccine. #science. #immuneresponse #CDC #polio

The CDC's website made changes regarding #autism and vaccines. This alteration, made by political appointees without #CDC expert input, now falsely claims that the statement "Vaccines do not cause autism" is not evidence-based. This is a dangerous misrepresentation of scientific consensus. #science
