Right now there is a glut of PV modules and batteries being produced faster than the manufacturers can sell them.

I'm hoping that a lot of these clean energy products are being shipped to #Ukraine in order to help them to decarbonize and become more resilient.

When Vance said that it shouldn't be easy for people to get out of marriages, even violent ones, he implied that women should stay in violent marriages. It doesn't take a sociology degree to know that it is women who are most victims of domestic violence. https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/2024/07/25/jd-vance-marriage-abuse-comment/

Lol. The work that discovered “dark oxygen” was funded by The Metals Company and now they’re trying to discredit it, going as far as saying it couldn’t get published in other journals.

Dude, it was published in Nature Geoscience, a pretty freaking prestigious journal!

Scotland houses the UK’s nuclear subs.
Scotland is the heart of the UK’s self-sufficient energy prospects.

Also…

Scotland has about 574,000 hectares of arable land. I have read that the average extent of sustainably productive farmland that is needed per person is 1.6 hectares.

Which (very) crudely suggests Scotland has a carrying capacity of about 360,000 people – or ~20% of the population of Glasgow’s metro area.

- - -

England has 15x Scotland’s arable land and 10x the population

Every time Musk opens his mouth or posts anything on his deadbird site, he shows what a horrible -- and dangerous -- person he is. The disgusting attack on his child is only the latest example.

What is also disgusting is the fact that big-time journalists and commentators are still DIRECTLY SUPPORTING this guy, who is not just a terrible person but a clear and present danger to democracy, and by extension freedom of expression.

Decency, if nothing else, should lead them to stop.

Venting because I am so upset. My extended family and I have had a vacation planned for almost a year. In February, we rented and paid for a huge Chevy suburban or similar #Avis for our 7 people, plus all our luggage. They called us YESTERDAY afternoon (less than 24 hours before scheduled pickup) & said they don’t have the vehicle we rented and paid for. They offered a smaller SUV, which will not hold 7 adult bodies comfortably or more than 2 suitcases.

Biden just got one step closer to replacing Postmaster General Louis DeJoy

Should both Demings and Walsh be confirmed, that would give Biden seven appointees on the nine-member board overseeing USPS. And because the Postmaster General's hiring and firing is up to the board and not Biden, that could mean that DeJoy could be removed from his post by the time Biden leaves office in January of 2025.

Biden just got one step closer to replacing Postmaster General Louis DeJoy

Ever since Postmaster General Louis DeJoy — a major Republican donor — was selected to head the United States Postal Service (USPS) in 2020, he's been enacting massively unpopular policies criticized by postal workers and Democrats alike.

While the world experiences yet another hottest day on record, the Australian Labor Government grants more offshore gas projects despite their promises of achieving net-zero by 2050. Labor was elected to government on promises of climate recovery, yet they continue to approve of projects that will make their promises impossible.

I've always wonder how the universality of mortgages feeds into inflation. It is impossible for a median income individual or family to save for a decade or so and buy a 'starter' home with no mortgage. So mortgages are universal driving an expectation of guaranteed inflation called "appreciation" to compensate. Thus mortgages accelerate home inflation accelerating mortgages as universal requirement to buy a home. Starter homes *should* be purchasable with a reasonable span's savings.

huntingdon 2 months ago • mastodon (AP)

I'm glad these false explanations haven't given Bob Reich apoplexy. Today's inflation is caused by corporate price gouging and excessive market concentration, allowing businesses to abuse their dominant positions.

Corporate profits are more affected by enormous executive compensation packages and givebacks to shareholders than by wages paid to rank and file employees.
