   You won't see headlines like this with the GOP in charge, #JustSayin

   If you don't support Democrats, than you are climate science denier no ifs, ands or buts!

     According to a report by BloombergNEF, it is estimated that by 2030, there will be around 1.2 million tons of retired EV batteries worldwide.

     Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a new technology enabling EV battery reuse: a type of power electronics equipment that can manage a variety of EV batteries as an energy storage system for an electric utility.

     I somewhat discounted this closed loop approach when they first started trying to commercialize it because they would need high temperatures for such a small heat exchange area in order to produce much power.

     But, if they installed one at a depth of 18,000' that's pretty impressive. Until they've produced many MWhrs though I'm still somewhat skeptical. Hope it works out to be economic though don't get me wrong.

     Another headline everyone should know wouldn't have occurred if enough of us hadn't supported Democrats in 2018, 2020 & 2022.

     Joint Base San Antonio is the first Department of the Air Force installation planning to introduce a utility-scale advanced geothermal energy system.
