New way to double the life of lithium ion batteries found.
Batteries can be charged not with a constant charge, but a "pulsed" charge slows anode change.
Cars and smartphones whose batteries last twice as long?
Wind power cost has declined by 1/2. Solar power costs have fallen 90% in ten years
"Solar and battery storage prices have dropped almost 90% in 10 years"
Oil fools ARE RAISING PRICES while trying to kill us.
BUILD ALL THE SUN.
Build all the wind.
RIGHT redacted NOW

@FediTips is a huge help, follow them, and that brings us tonthe biggest thing in mastodon,
Follow A LOT. There is no algorithm, so you create your own by following, hashtags are big help. You can follow hashtags.
If you like buttons, search for #buttons, then follow that hashtag.
On posts that use the hashtag, follow the folks that use it well.
Check out their followers. Follow the good ones.
Rince repeat etc.

You didnt want your ISP to slow your Netflix stream, but Trump gave them power anyway, now Biden is making the internet free again from cable and ISP manipulation.
So now the ISPs and cable companies are PROMISING YEARS of lobbying electoral assault, screwups and lobbying to get their interferring fingers back into our streams.
So your BEST BET is supporting BREAK UP THE CABLE COMPANIES. Support anti monolpoly legislation, loudly. Use cable companies as your example.

Internet access was" limited" by bandwidth, 56k is slow compared to 300 meg download speeds.
Connections could also go sideways, ruining a 600Meg download that took 2 hours, only to be useless.

Ford has decided to sell EVs at the same price as gas cars, and not double the price.
Well that is very smart.
"Ford rethinks EV strategy, is working on a smaller, cheaper EV platform"
Might I suggest also making simpler, privacy respecting cars that can't be stolen, driven away, with a phone app?

A Native American tribe is building a $1B solar farm in Colorado.
The collection field is eight miles long and a mile wide, producing over 900 megawatts, 1000 construction jobs, and 10 to 50 ongoing jobs.
“We, as the Ute Mountain Ute tribe, had been a fossil fuel tribe with oil and gas for a long time, probably over 50 years. Today, with #climate change, you can see the impact of what’s happening to our world. So renewables is the new future right now.”

Yes exactly. Appropriate response on understanding.

Digital counterfeiting.
The process of running your graphix cards red hot for hours is called "mining" in common parlance. Any mother can tell you what the boys are doing. Its not mining, its wanking out bitcoins.
Kevin Russell
"The Biden administration now requires large cryptocurrency miners to report their energy use.:
I hope this is the beginning of the end.
Wasting time, energy, eyes, on digital counterfeiting, a stupid, pointless, useless, onanistic, distraction.
"137 mining operations in the US account for over 2 percent of national electricity usage."

Science is exponential, tech and human support is exponential. The growth in economic capacity since WW2 is exponential. 14 people make half a million tons of steel a year. A country smaller than Cuba is the 2nd largest exporter of food. Wealth is available to every human, denying it is an intentional crime. Paying living wages would supercharge the economy.
Humans are emerging.
Our only crisis is Billionaires are trying to take the new world from us.

The Republicans have DEMANDED a border deal with Biden, now Trump tells them to make the border a mess to make Biden look bad.
And now the Republicans are eating sand. Setting their hair on fire.
"Republicans Flail On Bipartisan Border Deal After Trump Orders Them To Reject It"
When I was a little bitty boy, they told me Satan would lead the evil in the last battle.
I wondered how could anyone follow Satan then too.

Except for the kids.
Its not a criticism, I'm not criticizing a stranger with a handful of facts. I dont know his life, or any other circumstance of the situation, I'm just erupting at the racists elected to school board. Just giggling joyfully at the kids response.
Kevin Russell
Explaining to the class why the racist school board needs to bully children and employees, multiple times. I would take the order to remove the flags as a performance, and do it daily.
"It's time to obey the bullies! Lets take down our flags. Remember kids self -government is an "all the time forever job" - as soon as tyrants are allowed into power, your only job, your duty, is to remove them."

The philosophical fights about Linux are a culture you can invest in. Or not.
Hair splitting is for crude know nothings, molecular deconstruction of descriptions is the new boss level.
95.34% of Linux users do not get involved in the minutiae.
If you install linux, you do not have to argue "my version of the philosophical fight is best" unless you like it.
Kevin Russell
No, it does not. ffs

If you are a real beginner:
Linux installs not just the operating system, but graphix programs, video editors, writing programs, browsers, security, movie players . . . all also free, all work together, none watch and report on you, and its ALWAYS getting faster, better.
Also Linux runs the Mars Lander and its helicopter, 10 of the ten biggest fastest computers in history and the Steam Deck.
Android is Linux, But with surveillance and handcuffs.
Linux is always EXPANDING where it can run.

OMG.
MS Kills 240,000,000 Computers
"Canalys analyst predicts that 👉 🔥 👉 240 million Windows 10 machines will end up in a landfill after the end-of-life date arrives. 👈 👈 👈 We already have a big issue with e-waste, and the report claims it's only going to get worse as people begin to throw out their old computers.
(Old means MS abandons)
MUST MUST MUST save those machines with Linux for schools, for give-away, for make up a reason . . . . DAMN
