Yeah he has some serious issues with coherence. But I'm paying a lot of attention to climate, so I notice it more on that issue than others.

The existing large-scale batteries are largely lithium. There are a bunch of iron-chemistry ones and sodium-ion ones which have been deployed over the past year, with factories going up to scale them up. I'm not expecting to be limited by lithium availability for stationary batteries.

Pretty much, unless we're able to substantially alter the makeup of the Supreme Court.

 

An effort to revive and maximize use of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program has resulted in student loan forgiveness for over one million people.

This should not be a surprise; he put a coal lobbyist in charge of the EPA, and proceeded to roll back as many environmental regulations as he could.

If you're in the US and want to stop him, get involved

Much of what they're talking about is now routinely published by World Weather Attribution

They're talking about 5+ years on the new nuclear in these. And they haven't done it before, so a 30% deadline slip is realistic.

You can put up a lot of wind and solar in that time.

 

Our best estimate is that heavy 3-day rainfall events have become about 18% more intense and just over twice more likely

 

I'll note that shifting away from meat and biofuels would free up an awful lot of water.

There's a detailed article about that — Georgia doesn't have a law requiring that the ballot be counted, so there may be some level of discretion for election officials to toss it.

Apparently, smaller animals make smaller pieces.

Mostly:

  • New nuclear is really expensive
  • It also takes a long time to deliver
  • The new reactor examples in here consist of reactors from suppliers who haven't done that before

So it has the feel of a plan to promise to spend a lot of money several years from now, and get a lot of PR points today, and quietly cancel the project later.

It probably takes more than that; for example, when whale oil become uncompetitive for lighting because kerosene was cheaper, the whalers started turning it into margarine.

This is almost surely about there being plans to have much more than the occasional attack.

Get a bunch of them to join you canvassing then. I'll be on a bus to a swing state this weekend

Mind, you, they reportedly set the permissive action link code to all-zeros for decades.

There were. The Republicans now control the Supreme Court, so it won't do anything to stop him, and they hold enough seats int he Senate to keep any impeachment from proceeding to conviction. Not to mention his effective purge of the Republican Party of any opposition.

If you post to Facebook, nobody will see it, because it's going to be deemed "political" and the algorithm there reduces visibility.
