Batteries won a substantial fraction of the auction to provide nighttime and peak power in the UK.

Some existing coal plants also won, but no new large gas plants.

The article refers to some who inexplicably think it would be better to burn gas rather than charge batteries from windfarms. I can't imagine a rational argument for that.

Everyone: call on Obama to commute Chelsea Manning's sentence.

Trump seems to be planning a witch hunt against government employees that did any work related to global heating.

Global heating positive feedback: it will speed up the action of soil bacteria that metabolize carbon and release greenhouse gas.

The effect is huge — like "adding another United States" to the world's climate cycle.

I don't think global heating is likely to cause the extinction of humans. That would be almost as hard as making cockroaches extinct. But it could destroy technological society and kill most of the humans alive at the time. If you're young today, you could live to see this happen.

Trump voters are factually mistaken about what happened under Obama.

This shows how effective the right-wing noise machine is at misinforming people.
