The primary energy fallacy: Critics of the energy transition often point to primary energy to demonstrate that the transition is going to be impossible. But most consumed primary energy is lost after conversion. The problem to solve is a lot smaller than primary energy suggests.

Tesla co-founder JB Straubel has built an EV-battery colossus in the scrublands of Nevada. He spent the day giving me the first look at everything @redwoodmat has been building. It starts with *30 acres* of old batteries headed headed for recycling 🧵

Short thread on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation #AMOC, which brings a huge amount of heat to the northern Atlantic. If it slows, the region west of Britain cools. And the Gulf Stream moves closer to the US coast, causing warming there. Both are already happening, as satellite data show. 1/6

A big moment in Britain's industrial story happened today. The coke ovens at the Port Talbot steelworks were closed. This was where they baked the coal used to make millions of tonnes of steel. What you're looking at here is the last coke ever made in the UK. Pix: @TataSteelUK
