New green battery tech - from red state Alabama

Doesn't require cooling, a big downside of lithium ion batteries.
Also cheaper to produce.

From inventor of Super Soaker.
He's also Tuskegee Institute engineer involved with stealth bomber, bunch of other stuff.

Cannot make this stuff up!

"Gas consumption in #Australia is falling faster than anticipated, helping to avoid the risks of seasonal shortages in the next few years, according to energy commentators.

"AEMO's latest analysis clearly shows that government initiatives to accelerate household #electrification can reduce gas consumption, and with it, the risks of supply gaps."

ABC News · Plummeting gas demand averts looming gas crisis as AEMO dials down warningBy Daniel Mercer

Well, the effects of tariffs are already happening.

I’ve been eyeing this Chinese made mini electric loader which is built per-spec and imported by a small business. A few weeks ago it was $13K. Now it’s almost $16K.

These tariffs are dumb. There are no American made equivalents, and while I could MAYBE afford $13K, I most certainly cannot afford to drop $60K on a much larger entry-level diesel Bobcat.

Banner at the top of the Nesher L880 sales page reads: Note: Due to recent increases in tariffs in the United States, we have been forced to raise prices slightly on new machines. This will not impact existing machines in inventory already held by deposit.

Saving $$ with #cleanenergy

NY needs to replace a lot of #fossilgas lines b/c of age and wear.
Very expensive to do, raises gas bills.

May be cheaper to electrify neighborhoods, even including:
- all new heating and cooling
- weatherization of bldgs

Plus: no gas leaks & better air quality & health 🙌

Pressure to pass state law to facilitate this #electrification
