"Is it bad for men that all the job growth is in healthcare?" Actually, it's a bad sign for everybody. Ideal household healthcare spend is zero. Perhaps the robots shall make stuff while we tend to our elderly, I suppose. There are worse things.

It hadn't occurred to me that we had accidentally created a mass-scale potential market for lithium-sulfur cells TL/DR: it's a promising li-ion replacement contender with a super-high max energy density but poor cycle life unless you do things that heavily reduce the energy density and make it...

My 2 former home states Michigan and especially Illinois crushing it lately, in contrast to my current state (IN), which is somehow 3rd in solar deployment in 2025 despite not trying.

Most of them were destined to be canceled from the beginning, IMO, but exacerbating this shortage is Not Good.

LNG export capacity must be maxed, because Henry Hub is STILL at $3.04.

Everything about batteries is rapidly getting better, including their safety profiles. It will probably take some time for that knowledge to get around opposition and sink in. You can put some by me. The alternative is peaker plants, which are on fire on purpose www.canarymedia.com/articles/bat...

Reminder that this mostly just means that producers, wholesalers, and retailers will pocket a little more money during the crisis, and consumers will pay pretty much the same amount budgetmodel.wharton.upenn.edu/p/2022-06-15...

I have driven by this several times. 1500 acres for Meta north of 32, 800 for Eli Lilly south of 32. It does seem quite large. Its funny to me she calls it BFE since it is 20 miles closer to Indy than I am. It's the NW corner of the metro.

More precisely: solar and batteries can supply 90% of electricity for 80% of the world's population at less than 80 €/MWh (including a fuel backup) with 2030 assumptions. Add some wind, existing hydro, or wait a few more years for costs to decline, and the equation just gets better.

You could pretty much decarbonize Indiana just on the coal and ethanol land, probably need to fire up the CCGT's Nov-Feb with just a 50% overbuild. I wouldn't recommend this, a good chunk should be wind which uses way less direct land (but way more indirect).

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

New U.S. bargaining position has no mention of the strait, or proxies, or ballistic missiles. Basically the president is begging for a return to the Obama nuclear deal but with Iran adding a massive new revenue source.

It’s the least important thing today of all days, but it’s insane that a sitting VP is campaigning in a foreign election. Not like he has a full schedule, but still.

1) Issue ultimatum with demands that can't be met 2) Back down, which makes them think their counter threats worked and hardens their resolve, or unleash war crimes on civilians, which makes them think the threat is existential and hardens their resolve 3) Repeat step 1 WHY ISN'T THIS WORKING?!?!

"Bully pulpit aside, America lacks the sort of institutions, above all unions, that could have communicated to workers that rapidly rising wages and a superabundance of jobs were contingent situations created by policy."

I am completely sincere when I say they need to build statues of this woman. People need to name their babies after her.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

People, at the very least, if you want good people to run for office, it's a BAD thing when people in office get shot at.

When I learned this fact in the last decade it was mind blowing. The reason we have to care about mercury in fish is pretty much just because we burn coal. Once we stop burning coal, problem is basically solved. So many benefits of not burning fossil fuels.

I think if ME, VA, UT, and maybe 2 more states pass balcony solar (one in the Midwest would be nice), it's going to be so widely available that everyone will be able to get it whether their state has signed off or not. www.canarymedia.com/articles/sol...

US voters worried about high food prices in 2024. This admin has: 1) taxed food & fertilizer imports 2) deported farmworkers 3) canceled food/climate investments 4) started a war that spiked energy/fertilizer prices 5) increased crop-based biofuel mandates 6) released dietary guidance centering meat

you realize how insane like 80% of data center discourse shit is if you substitute another light-industry land use with comparable negative/positive externalities is. like you wouldn't shoot someone for voting for a pharmaceutical packing plant or industrial greenhouse.

There is a case for locating whatever data centers we do need in urban areas in northern cities, and it is to be found in Amsterdam, where their waste heat feeds the district heating system. www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/wast...
