@IRanMediaco India is rapidly installing solar and shifting to EVs. The quicker the better.

@OhThe_Hypocrisy @factpostnews Isn't sexual assault against the law right now?

@ENERGY @SecretaryWright At least Chris Wright admits that the Middle East plays a part in the pricing of American gas. This is why solar and wind are so important. How many of the 5,000 Marines will die protecting oil?
English

.@SECRETARYWRIGHT: “It is simply unacceptable for the U.S., for the Middle East geography, and for the world economy to have a terrorist regime with nuclear weapons...they've also raised energy prices for Americans for decades—it's finally going to come to an end."

@DMbuilds @RivianTrackr What state are you in? Curious about cold performance.

@RivianTrackr I have both the R1T and R1S with the LFP battery and yet to have any issues. It sucks to see them go

Rivian just killed the R1 Dual Standard. After months of LFP battery calibration issues and with the R2 launching around $45K, it's not hard to see why.

@AlexEpstein The price of those batteries have dropped 25% since you posted this,

It’s always advisable to try to understand someone’s argument before trashing them. Especially if that someone is Chris Wright, who knows a lot about energy.
Wright’s point is that only 20% of global energy use today is electricity, and solar panels just generate electricity.
So with today’s energy economy, even if you had enough solar panels to cover all electricity—or even if you had far, far more—you still wouldn’t be providing 80% of energy.
What Wright wasn’t saying, but that his statement was interpreted by many as saying, was: “There’s not enough space on Earth to have all its energy generated by solar.”
While using solar does create real, costly land issues, there is for sure enough space on Earth for solar to generate way more kilowatt-hours of raw energy than humans use in all our machines.
The main reasons we don’t use that much solar are:
1) The versatility problem Wright is alluding to: Electricity as such isn’t yet good for many things, most obviously flying planes, powering container ships, etc.
2) The classic intermittency problem: Solar isn’t a stored, on-demand, independent electricity source, and batteries are prohibitively expensive to make it one for the foreseeable future.
(For a full explanation of these issues, see Chapters 5-6 of my book Fossil Future.)
I, Chris Wright, and other advocates of energy freedom wish solar the best; we just feel compelled to point out its limitations because opponents of energy freedom try to justify subsidies and mandates for solar based on fantasies about its cost-effectiveness and versatility.
As the pro-freedom side says over and over, insofar as solar has anywhere near the potential many claim it does, then it shouldn’t need subsidies, mandates, or any other form of government preference.
So why can’t we all agree on energy freedom?

@joeyfishtacos @deannamcraig @Timcast Yup, it's the worst one. All Murdoch news outlets taint the world's English speaking population with rubbish

@deannamcraig @Timcast No Fox News?
Didn’t they pay almost A BILLION dollars for lying to the public? 🤔

@deannamcraig @Timcast The only one to lose a lawsuit for promoting fake election conspiracies and the largest settlement payout is missing from the list.

@DowneastMemes @itskyleconner Not mass adopted with current American battery limitations. With megawatt Chinese technology and the transition would be done by Thursday
English

@itskyleconner Exactly why EV will never be mass adopted. Until my car charges from 2% to 100% in 2minutes..I ain’t buying. Especially with the cost of electricity being very similar to gas and to add the power to the house for a home charger is just insane.
English

@Shafiq_Ahmed @ZacksJerryRig I hope gas prices go to $6 a gallon across the US. I want every EV on FB marketplace to go into a bidding war.
English

@ZacksJerryRig Look on the bright side, less stuff made from oil, the better it is.

@politicaldrinkr @CraigDMauger Yesterday 60% of Texas energy was renewable. Clearly you're not knowledgeable on energy, this is common knowledge in the industry.

English

@jonger79 @CraigDMauger Leads the country in renewables is a hilarious skew. What's Texas' natural gas production relative to the rest of the country?
English

DTE Energy says it will seek another increase in the electricity rates it charges customers in Michigan, just days after state regulators approved a $242 million rate hike. detroitnews.com/story/business…
English

@politicaldrinkr @CraigDMauger Ok.... now back to reality. Let me show you what happens when there's no fuel or maintenance expense to generate electricity. Texas leads the country in renewables and they pay slightly below average.

English

@CraigDMauger This is outrageous. DTE should abandon its boondoggle green energy program and focus on providing energy at the lowest cost to its consumers.
English

Absolutely.
Otherwise, the filibuster will be killed immediately if Dems get the House, Senate and Presidency in 2029.
They already tried to do it and were stopped by Manchin & Sinema, who were then kicked out of the Dem party.
Mike Lee@BasedMikeLee
For those who want to preserve the filibuster, the best way to do that is to use the talking filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act

It was an honest debate - Dems cannot name a single illegal alien they want to deport. That’s their position.

@Acyn They'd rather refunds back to foreign countries that have taken advantage of the U.S. for decades rather than receiving $2,000.

Copper can be replaced with aluminum.
See how that works? Now it's even cheaper.

@tjgelliott_tim how so?
lithium and copper commodity markets would disagree
