@vascopyjama I appreciate the 1st amendment sentiment. But do those views explicitly include anti-semitic and racist comment? I struggle with where the line is. Thanks!

[Peter Kelly-Detwiler @PKayDee]

Hi all - I haven't posted since Musk's blatantly anti-semitic Tweet over a week ago. Part of me thinks I should keep tweeting on cleantech; another part of me asks "what's the morality of supporting a platform that has so much racist and bigoted comment (every day!)." Thoughts?

[Peter Kelly-Detwiler @PKayDee]

@andreas_poike Andreas - Thank you for your quick and thoughtful response. I've been looking into that.

https://t.co/uaVfBKyjKe BWM expands smart charging service, ChargeForward, offering incentives for setting EV charging w/times when renewable energy is highest on grid. In May, PG&E said program led to 1.4 mn miles in CA powered by 100% renewables in 2022. #BMW #EVcharging

https://t.co/NB6ZwAnyXJ First U.S.-based first commercial facility that can capture up to 1,000 tons of CO2 per year. Heirloom's heated limestone technology does the trick. But the real magic will be in getting the costs down to some manageable level. #carboncapture #CCS

https://t.co/36D1xGuxug BNEF reports only 2% of planned 47 million tonnes of annual clean H2 capacity by 2030 is included in binding contracts. Thus far, more hype than hope. #hydrogeneconomy #energytransition

https://t.co/pIE5W0BXd8 Bad time to own a Mirai: some CA hydrogen filling stations have been without H2 for as long as three months. #hydrogenvehicles

@Jed_Trott As you should! ;-)

https://t.co/zSQecgcuUq NERC warns this winter, "much of North America is again at an elevated risk of having insufficient energy supplies to meet demand in extreme operating conditions." Cites
reliance on gas gen (also used for heating), growing heat pump use, and renewables.

https://t.co/rci43cdMnz Polestar says its use of StoreDot's fast-charging solid state cells will allow EVs to add 100 miles of range in 5 minutes. This hurts comparative business case for H2 vehicles, as it cuts EV fueling "dwell time." #fastcharge #EVs #StoreDot

https://t.co/B6odfiOzrY VW currently planning an EV for U.S. markets at a sticker price under $35,000. That could help entice more buyers, but of course certain waves will have to break the right way. #electrictransportation #EVs #VW
