The end times fascists are plotting their escape from our world. Our mission is clear
An unholy alliance is working toward an apocalyptic future from which only a chosen few will emerge unscathed. It’s becoming clear how we stop them

Global battery investment quadrupled since 2022 and will exceed $100 billion in 2026! Battery investment grew 30% in 2025, compared to 2024. Falling costs led to 40% rise in battery deployment to 108 GW in 2025. Batteries transform grids! iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/4fda3... #energysky
