New reports say the U.S. is seeking sweeping control over Greenland’s military, infrastructure, and investment deals. That makes our earlier reporting even more urgent: Trump’s Greenland push could benefit tech investors eyeing the island’s vast mineral wealth.

The world’s largest sand battery got through Finland’s harshest winter in years. 2,000 tonnes of sand, heated to 500-600°C by cheap power, feeding district heating in Pornainen. And it worked. Result from one install: oil down 100%, emissions down 70%. Industrial process heat is the real prize.

"20 yrs ago the world took a year to add 1 gigawatt of solar. Now it takes just half a day. Solar costs have fallen by around 90% over past decade, & as costs fall, installations accelerate. Nowhere is this clearer than in China 🇨🇳. It now accounts for well over half of global solar installations"

Via NYT: “China can now power many of its cars and trains with electricity, greatly reducing its reliance on oil. China has also honed the use of coal — and not oil — to produce its own petrochemicals ... gives Beijing an alternative to oil to make the raw materials its factories need.”

This map shows the cost of charging an EV at home across the U.S. Home-charging is significantly cheaper in all 50 states than fueling a car with gasoline.

Today's abysmal jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy. What's required is investment in working people — and better wages. When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs. Remember this.

Your suspicion was right. Trump shut down the Kennedy Center out of pure embarrassment after the cancellations. He’s betting we forget in two years. In 2023 the Kennedy Center was in the black, pulling in $286M in revenue. And it reopened from a $250M renovation in 2019.

To be clear, via NYT: "There is no evidence that a significant number of noncitizens have voted in any American election. A 2024 audit by Georgia’s secretary of state found that just 20 of the 8.2 million people registered to vote in Georgia were not citizens, and only nine had ever voted."
