A standing reminder: a small handful of Republicans in Congress could stop this chaos tomorrow. They simply choose not to.
@elduvelle @stargazersmith @jalefkowit Because Congress is controlled by Republicans, paid for by the new oligarch class that also created Trump.

What do you think - can Slate sustain a business based on this model?

I think if the solid state battery hype is real BYD is going to own the market and I wouldn't buy an EV without a rapid charging solid state battery

Is the Slate Truck too minimal for its own good?

The Slate Truck is minimalist to a fault, with barely any creature comforts or features that many of us have come to expect as part of a new vehicle purchase.

Holy phlegm! What a great word!

As if you need another reason to loathe the tech bros.

Tech companies are trying to neuter Colorado’s landmark right-to-repair law

A state bill is a glimpse of how corporations are limiting people's ability to make their own fixes and upgrades.

You know this administration and the people that voted for it and make/support its disgusting polices have convinced me of the genius of James Madison.

Men are not angels.

Sadly, he did not foresee the abject surrender of the legislative and judicial branches to an incompetent imperial executive. And in the end, the final check of the people failed in choosing an idiot to lead them.

Really? Then why is the Cheeto Jesus and his foul minions destroying our reputation and murdering innocent people while trying to steal their oil?

"93% of the new utility-scale electricity generating capacity installed this year will come from solar, batteries, and wind power.

If these projects are realized, solar power would make up 51% of the new generating capacity with battery storage following with 28% and wind at 14%. "

Experts predict 2026 to be a 'big year' for solar throughout America's energy grid

The report from the U.S. Energy Information Administration revealed that in 2026 there are plans to add 86 gigawatts of generating capacity to the U.S. grid in solar power projects.

The Cool Down

"BYD sits in an interesting middle ground. It is doubling down on technology and exports while tightening internal efficiency. The job cuts are not a red flag. They are a signal that the next phase of the EV race will not be won by volume alone. It will be won by who can scale profitably."

Look, they're not bizarre comments if they are true.
