What’s actually working for transport is battery-electric. About half the heavy trucks in China sold in the past few months have been done like that.

My expectation is that we’ll see solar to hydrogen used for decarbonizing the chemicals industry, but not much else, largely because batteries have gotten so cheap and so energy dense.

That sadly doesn’t work terribly well (we burn a lot of methane producing fertilizer for the corn) and doesn’t scale up to the world.

This is what happens when companies are incentivized to turn on data centers fast above any kind of environmental protection or efficiency goal.

No. The point of DOGE was to purge leftists from public service and exfiltrate controlled personal information about Americans to Palantir and friends.

Povoq said they would likely be able to fix it on Wednesday

I see somebody copy-pasted it. I also used a gift link as the top-level link, which makes the article free for 30 days if you have functional Javascript and don’t remove the gift token from the URL.

Yeah, cops aiming for genitals is a thing.

A lot of early wind, solar, battery, and electric vehicle work was done in the US. The country has steadily lost leadership in all of those due to a lack of political support

I didn’t see that in the article, though they did talk about electric outlets at every seat

It’s a court order. They treat those as optional because the courts aren’t willing to impose any meaningful penalty for noncompliance.

Even the big operations break in unexpected ways. Facebook accidentally broke the authentication for their door locks when they took the site down a few years back and had to fly people to a datacenter and break down a door to get to servers and restart things.

ICE has been raiding elementary schools in the past few days.

I dont expect 2nd graders to read the article.

Good luck once locked up without the right to an attorney

Thanks for letting us know what is going on.

Most kids don’t have the set of photos you describe in government databases.

Welcome to America

if they care to

ICE doesn’t care if your skin is too dark, or your name sounds vaguely Arabic or Spanish.

The problem is that you’re probably not lying in wait with a mythical concealed-carry shotgun. Realistic sequences that have happened in the recent past:

• A couple guys wearing utility company uniforms ask to step inside to diagnose a problem. They then jump you and arrest you.
• Your camera system stops working due to jamming. Then 15 armed men break through your door and surprise you while you’re asleep in bed.
• Several people in the crowd at your kid’s graduation ceremony suddenly surround you and zip-tie your wrists before you realize what’s going on.

You’re going to be dealing with a situation where you don’t see in advance what’s happening, and where you’re confronted with a whole batch of people who are heavily armed and wearing body armor. That’s a situation where one individual acting alone is very unlikely to succeed in killing an assailant with a gun.

Odds of shooting somebody in face when you are ambushed by a larger group of armed men are low.
