@JeffTurnerEVs @DBretonEMC_MEC Back in 2014 when I worked for Metro Vancouver in the climate change & air quality department there was initiatives to reduce 2 stroke small engines and require off road machinery engines to meet certain emission requirements. So much easier now w/ all the great battery options!
Paul Newman in Washington where Dr. King delivered his ‘I Have a Dream Speech’ August 28, 1963. Paul Newman was not only a Hollywood super star, but a philanthropist and way-ahead-of-his-time activist.
He was fighting against big oil companies and sounding the alarm on pollution and global warming waaay back in the 1970s. He'd been an outspoken advocate for gay-rights in the 70s and 80s. Being listed as one of Nixon's "enemies" was a badge of honor for him when he protested the Vietnam War.
He refused to take any profits from his salad dressing company, and instead donated 100% of all proceeds, giving millions of dollars to charities ranging from student scholarships, to environmental causes, and aid to refugees.
He supported Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights movement, and was basically all about helping less fortunate people his whole life. Paul Newman was a a real life super hero and a role model for all of us. Also very handsome.
Tim Urban gave one of the most popular TED talks ever.
It's now been seen almost 70 million times, and this is the story of how he wrote such a massive hit.
Every sentence was written and rehearsed. One of the best pieces of advice he got while preparing was to remove any part of the talk he didn't like giving, no matter how good he thought it was intellectually.
The parts you love as a speaker are the parts your listeners will tend to love too.

And here's the full rack and stack of 4 packs in our dedicated mixed battery array test chamber. Now to control them all uniquely based on a grid storage signal!
@johnvoelcker I'm a long time admirer and follower of your work. Thank you for sharing such a personal note. Ex's are forever part of our past and often occupy a place in our heart for the rest of our lives.
I'm terribly sorry for your loss.
This is so cool! Max Rastelli in Halifax, Canada is using his F-150 Lightning as a mobile charging station to grow his e-scooter business. He charges the scooters w/ Pro Power Onboard, which has helped him expand his fleet. Awesome to see the unique ways people are using their vehicles!

Amendments to the Electricity Act introduced today will help add more renewable energy to the grid and clear a path for energy storage solutions https://t.co/NNyYces0Vu
