renewable energy is not just the future, it’s the present. Solar is the way. I have spoken.

This paragraph by Richard Feynman hits so hard:

“Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn’t matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don’t think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn’t stop you from doing anything at all.”

@MetamateDaz Every city/state where these are issues already has billions of dollars.. billions of tax dollars. And those “leaders” are the ones failing all of us.

@KindredSwerv Portland hasn’t figured out how to develop/retain young talent in 30 years. That’s why half the league has impact players that used to be Blazers.

@TheChiefNerd Why don’t any of these “leaders” try to fix the problem instead of fleeing and leaving behind a mess they helped create.

To whatever we face, our job is to respond with:

hard work
honesty
helping others as best we can

@SenWarren Did you ever end world hunger with Elon’s taxes like you said you could?

@Cernovich @RoKhanna Remember when Elizabeth Warren said we could end world hunger if Elon paid taxes. Then he paid the biggest tax bill in history and we never heard another word

@libsoftiktok You would think that one of the “genius” tech billionaires could have figured out how to expose this fraud before fleeing California to save money.

@RepThomasMassie Who is the interest being paid to?

@JacobsVegasLife Can’t sell what you don’t own. Caesars, VICI and Blackstone own almost everything.

BREAKING: The U.S. Government has officially announced that @Tesla and LG ​Energy have signed an agreement to ‌build a $4.3 billion lithium iron phosphate (LFP) prismatic battery cell manufacturing factory in Lansing, Michigan, with a 2027 start of production.

"American-made cells will power Tesla's Megapack 3 energy storage systems produced in Houston, creating a robust domestic battery supply chain," the U.S. Department of the Interior said in a statement.

Here's everything you need to know about Tesla's new Megablock, the latest in the company's industrial storage product lineup, which includes the new Megapack version 3:

Megablock:
• 23% faster to install with up to 40% lower construction costs
• Plug and play platform (hardware, software and services) delivered as one all from Tesla. It's a pre-engineered medium-voltage block that integrates next-gen Megapack 3
• Eliminated above ground cabling between the transformer and the megapacks using new flexible busbar assembly
• 91% MV round trip efficiency
• 20 MWh of usable AC energy
• Operates in temps of -40°C (-40°F) to 60°C (140°F)
• 248 MWh per acre
• 25-year life & >10,000 cycles
• With Megablock, Tesla is targeting to commission 1GWh in 20 business days, equivalent to bringing power to 400,000 homes in less than month

Megapack 3:
• Will be manufactured in Tesla's upcoming Houston Megafactory starting in late 2026. 50 GWh annual manufacturing capacity when fully ramped.
• 5 MWh of usable AC energy
• Weight: 86,000 lbs
• 28 foot long enclosure that can be shipped globally
• Optimized for up to 8-hour applications
• New drastically simplified thermal bay. Uses Model Y heat pump, but on steroids. 78% fewer connections, which minimizes failure points
• Larger battery module and larger battery cell
• 2.8 liter battery cell, co-engineered with Tesla's cell team
• LFP battery
• Operates in -40°C to 60°
• Went from 24 cable connections in Megapack version 2XL, down to 3 simple busbar connections
• 75% of the mass of Megapack 3 is battery cells.
• A single module in it weighs as much as a Cybertruck
• Tesla has enabled easier front access service, so there are no roof penetrations
• Drastically simplified bussing system
