If anyone cares at all, EV battery recycling is now hitting 99% recovery for important metals Please remind me again what the recycle rate for fossil fuels is interestingengineering.com/energy/recyc...

I'm tired of the over-engineered heat/AC systems in cars these days. They keep making it more and more like a home thermostat system, so I get into this uber and it's way too hot and I turn it way down to 67°F and it's still putting out hot air. Put out the temperature that it says!

Honestly, this was a formative moment in my childhood - a video game telling me that ecoterrorism is righteous and correct, and why it felt that way

"The electricity sector is now the largest energy employer, surpassing fuel supply for the first time, as the Age of Electricity gathers pace." www.iea.org/reports/worl...

Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.

if you're doing alright financially rn, consider giving to your local food bank. they take food but it's easier to send money, that they can buy more with from suppliers directly. millions of people in the us are really struggling with food access rn.

I've put this off as long as i could but Due to Thanksgiving our food bank delivery for the week was canceled. I've extended our food reserves as far as they can go but we are completely flat broke due to rent and need food. Shares and donations are always equally appreciated. 🫶 #mutualaid

Hey friends, can anyone who can spare a few dollars chip in to help Linny get some groceries? It would be greatly appreciated! ❤️❤️

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

Second this, and if you wanna share your address I will gladly come take a shit on your porch. As a sort of allegory for your opinion on the topic

[showing you a picture of children frolicking] isn't this horrible? aren't you scared? wouldn't you hate it if your neighborhood looked like this? wouldn't you rather have an expressway? aren't you scared? aren't you scared? aren't you scared?

Start a clean energy company

Hey, if you're feeling thankful for all the bounty in your life right now, it's not a bad idea to toss some coin to trans people who are struggling. (I boosted two folks that I know personally just now, but there are so many, many others on here.)

Servers need to be kept between 21 and 27 degrees Celsius to function properly, and in Morrow County they are cooled with water drawn from the same aquifer used by local residents... 1/3

I went on PBS Newshour to discuss what's been happening to the trans community under the Trump administration. youtu.be/6Rhy-wcgCsM?...

trans people shouldn’t have to be constantly retraumatized just to access healthcare

The fear mongering around socialism is not new. Corporate politicians have been doing so fo years and years. But for politicians who's very ability to serve is directly related to the work of MLK to do what Jeffries did is shameful. mlkglobal.org/2017/11/23/m...

So uh is importing gas the energy independence we were looking for? The only thing this is good for is gentailer profits The more expensive our peak electricity is the larger the margin they make They currently make 93% margin #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

Feel like this one sums it up perfectly lol bsky.app/profile/them...

Black women have to keep receipts because moderates are so desperate to let unrepentant nazis into the tent once it suits their calculus

Just like China did.

"one day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this"

trumps administration is the largest looting of the working class funneled up to the wealthy in history

The intensity of British sarcasm and irony in these replies is absolutely off the charts

donald trump is a pedophile

"Falling BESS cell price plunged system prices by more than 50% in last 2 years." Earlier this week I wrote: "the rapid decline in the cost of batteries combined with increased performance has made a mockery of most predictions from even a few years ago." It has changed everything in energy.

it’s so humiliating when i bash a straw on a hard surface and it still won’t come out of its wrapper. god damn you. submit to my will you sick sonofabitch

We can't vote Schumer out until 2028 but we can make him being the senate majority leader a litmus test for 2026 candidates. Every single Dem senate candidate should be forced to go on the record and state they will not vote for him as majority leader.

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004. Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

Wood Mackenzie confirms new natural gas generation is expensive! $126/MWh in 2030! New solar plus batteries are less than half the cost of new gas! New nuclear ($139/MWh) also is getting close to being cheaper than new gas! Gas too is dirty, biggest CO2 electricity polluter. #energysky

The transition to clean energy is about economics.

There’s a young southern woman on tt doing an experiment: calling churches & asking if they can help her get baby formula, saying she can’t afford it. Of the 30+ she’s called, nearly every church has said no. The ones who said yes were: Black Baptist Churches A Mosque A small Appalachian church

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor. A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

Folks, while we're all procrastinating waiting for election night, consider this: Our journalism at Bolts has no paywall, but it requires a lot of resources. We're a nonprofit, and we thrive with your support, gifts, subscriptions. And right now is the GOLDEN time to make your support multiply:

A lot of real journalism is done by freelancers. Freelancers have to pay for their own health insurance which was possible through Obamacare. You aren't making much money and the insurance was affordable. Not with the new premiums for 2026.

South Korea has mandated solar canopies for large parking lots. It's a no-brainer. We could offer firms incentives to do it here, or they could just friggin' do it! (H/t @assaadrazzouk.bsky.social) Here's a little sumptin' I put together a while back...

How electric cars reuse energy through smart regenerative braking – EV Smarts evsmarts.com/how-electric...

The underlying fundamental economics have changed dramatically: solar is now so cheap that businesses and households all around the world install it often without subsidies. Throw in batteries and the business case just keeps improving.

Let’s be sure we learn this lesson from history as global uranium demand and Labour’s nuclear plans threaten the lives of the people of the Orkney Islands talkingupscotlandtwo.com/2025/10/31/l...
