Green energy is in its heyday. 

Renewable energy sources now account for 22% of the nation’s electricity, and solar has skyrocketed eight times over in the last decade. This spring in California, wind, water, and solar power energy sources exceeded expectations, accounting for an average of 61.5 percent of the state's electricity demand across 52 days. 

But green energy has a lithium problem. Lithium batteries control more than 90% of the global grid battery storage market. 

That’s not just cell phones, laptops, electric toothbrushes, and tools. Scooters, e-bikes, hybrids, and electric vehicles all rely on rechargeable lithium batteries to get going. 

Fortunately, this past week, Natron Energy launched its first-ever commercial-scale production of sodium-ion batteries in the U.S. 

“Sodium-ion batteries offer a unique alternative to lithium-ion, with higher power, faster recharge, longer lifecycle and a completely safe and stable chemistry,” said Colin Wessells — Natron Founder and Co-CEO — at the kick-off event in Michigan. 

The new sodium-ion batteries charge and discharge at rates 10 times faster than lithium-ion, with an estimated lifespan of 50,000 cycles.

Wessells said that using sodium as a primary mineral alternative eliminates industry-wide issues of worker negligence, geopolitical disruption, and the “questionable environmental impacts” inextricably linked to lithium mining. 

“The electrification of our economy is dependent on the development and production of new, innovative energy storage solutions,” Wessells said. 

Why are sodium batteries a better alternative to lithium?

The birth and death cycle of lithium is shadowed in environmental destruction. The process of extracting lithium pollutes the water, air, and soil, and when it’s eventually discarded, the flammable batteries are prone to bursting into flames and burning out in landfills. 

There’s also a human cost. Lithium-ion materials like cobalt and nickel are not only harder to source and procure, but their supply chains are also overwhelmingly attributed to hazardous working conditions and child labor law violations. 

Sodium, on the other hand, is estimated to be 1,000 times more abundant in the earth’s crust than lithium. 

“Unlike lithium, sodium can be produced from an abundant material: salt,” engineer Casey Crownhart wrote ​​in the MIT Technology Review. “Because the raw ingredients are cheap and widely available, there’s potential for sodium-ion batteries to be significantly less expensive than their lithium-ion counterparts if more companies start making more of them.”

What will these batteries be used for?

Right now, Natron has its focus set on AI models and data storage centers, which consume hefty amounts of energy. In 2023, the MIT Technology Review reported that one AI model can emit more than 626,00 pounds of carbon dioxide equivalent. 

“We expect our battery solutions will be used to power the explosive growth in data centers used for Artificial Intelligence,” said Wendell Brooks, co-CEO of Natron. 

“With the start of commercial-scale production here in Michigan, we are well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for efficient, safe, and reliable battery energy storage.”

The fast-charging energy alternative also has limitless potential on a consumer level, and Natron is eying telecommunications and EV fast-charging once it begins servicing AI data storage centers in June. 

On a larger scale, sodium-ion batteries could radically change the manufacturing and production sectors — from housing energy to lower electricity costs in warehouses, to charging backup stations and powering electric vehicles, trucks, forklifts, and so on. 

“I founded Natron because we saw climate change as the defining problem of our time,” Wessells said. “We believe batteries have a role to play.”

Excerpt from this story from Truthout/Floodlight:

The IRA is the Biden Administration’s signature climate law. The historic act is the most aggressive climate policy in U.S. history, rolling out billions in tax breaks and other incentives with the goal of cutting economy-wide carbon emissions 40% by 2030.

Every congressional Republican voted against the bill, arguing it was nothing more than handouts to prop up climate and social justice programs. Some on the extreme right continue to argue that climate change is a hoax. But now some GOP House members who voted against the IRA are urging their leader to consider saving key portions of it.

In fact, it is the red states that overwhelmingly have benefitted from the federal government’s infusion of clean energy money, according to a report released today by, a national nonpartisan group of more than 10,000 business leaders that advocates for a cleaner economy and environment.

Friday marks two years since Biden inked his signature on the IRA. Companies have announced roughly 330 clean energy and vehicle projects since that time, efforts that could create 109,278 jobs and bring in a whopping $126 billion in private investments, if completed, according to the E2 report.

E2’s report breaks down IRA-boosted projects by state, sector and industry as well as by congressional district. It found that “nearly 60% of the announced projects — representing 85% of the investments and 68% of the jobs — are in Republican congressional districts.”

Among the major projects is the South Korea-based solar manufacturer QCells. Last year it announced a $2.5 billion expansion in Dalton, Georgia, spurring more than 2,500 jobs and helping change a town known as the “carpet capital of the world” into a destination for clean energy manufacturing.

Since 2022, the northern third of Nevada has added more than 5,000 jobs from a $6.6 billion investment in projects such as the Rhyolite Ridge and Thacker Pass lithium mines as the state aims toward becoming the lithium capital of the United States.

And in North Carolina, $19.7 billion has been poured into the state, creating 22 clean energy projects and more than 10,000 jobs in solar, recycling, electric vehicle and battery manufacturing. The investments include a $13.9 billion Toyota Motor North America EV/hybrid battery plant slated to open next year.

E2’s report is based on publicly available information, including news releases and formal government announcements. Roughly one-third of the information did not include how much money was being invested or how many jobs a project was expected to create, E2 stated.

In other words, the impact of the IRA is likely broader than the nonprofit’s tally. That bodes well for environmentalists and clean energy advocates.

18 congressional Republicans signed a letter to GOP House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana urging him to be cautious in repealing all or parts of the IRA — something Trump has vowed to do if he is again elected president.

“Energy tax credits have spurred innovation, incentivized investment and created good jobs in many parts of the country — including many districts represented by members of our conference,” the Aug. 6 letter to Johnson said.

The Congress members said they had heard from industry and constituents that clawing back previously issued energy tax credits, especially on projects that already broke ground, would undermine private investments and stop development.

“A full repeal would create a worst-case scenario where we would have spent billions of taxpayer dollars and received next to nothing in return,” the letter states.

Ilana Berger at MMFA:

In a new analysis of electric vehicle-related content on Facebook, Media Matters found that negative stories made up the vast majority of content, particularly on right-leaning and politically nonaligned U.S. news and political pages, a trend which does not align with the optimistic outlook of EV adoption and technological advancements. Since 2021, the Biden administration has allocated billions of dollars toward meeting the ambitious goal of making half of all new cars sold electric or hybrid over the next few years. Provisions in the Inflation Reduction Act, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the CHIPS Act have provided tax credits and other incentives to jump start electric vehicle sales and infrastructure such as charging stations, domestic battery manufacturing, critical mineral acquisition, in addition to preparing the automotive industry workforce for the transition. 

In March, an Environmental Protection Agency rule setting strict limits on pollution from new gas-powered cars primed automakers for success in meeting these goals.  Biden’s EV push will continue to play an important role in the upcoming presidential election. Former president and current GOP candidate Donald Trump has insisted that Biden’s policies benefit China, which makes up the largest share of the global EV market. In March, while talking about the current state of the auto industry, Trump declared, “If I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s going to be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country.” Economists disagree. 

The comment tracks with years of outrage and opposition from Republican politicians, right-wing media, and fossil fuel industry surrogates, who have often disparaged the new technology and related policy and misleadingly framed the EV push as a threat to American jobs and national security. Constant attacks on EVs from the right have helped fuel a politically divided market, where people who identify as Democrats are now much more likely to buy them or consider buying them, while nearly 70% of Republican respondents to a recent poll said they “would not buy” an EV. So far in 2024, headline after headline announced EV sales slumps and proclaimed that “EV euphoria is dead,'' despite reports of “robust” growth. In February, CNN changed a headline about EV sales on its website from a success story to a failure. Despite the positive long term outlook for EVs based on indicators like sales and government investments, the discourse around electric vehicles is often pessimistic.

[...] Right-wing media have been driving anti-EV sentiment (with help from fossil fuel industry allies) since the start of Biden’s term. This trend was clearly reflected in Media Matters’ analysis. Out of the top 100 posts related to EVs on right-leaning pages, 95% were negative, earning over a million interactions in 2024 so far.  But on Facebook, politically nonaligned pages fed into this trend as well. Nearly three quarters (74%) of EV related top posts on nonaligned pages had a negative framing. These posts generated 83% of all interactions on EV-related top posts from nonaligned pages. 

On non-aligned and right-wing Facebook pages, anti-electric vehicle content-- likely fueled by a mix of climate crisis denial and culture war resentments-- draws lots of reliable engagement, in contrast to the reality of increased EV adoption in recent years.

Golden State drivers purchased a record number of new electric cars in 2023, achieving a 29 percent jump over the previous year, a new report has found.

Californians bought 446,961 new light-duty zero-emissions vehicles in 2023 — a significant increase from the 345,818 they purchased in 2022 and the 250,279 in 2021, according to a new analysis from the nonprofit Veloz and the California Energy Commission.

The data showed that such cars — which include battery-electric, plug-in hybrid and fuel cell powered vehicles — held a 25 percent share of the light-duty automotive market, which generally includes passenger cars and lightweight trucks.

In comparison, these types of zero-emissions vehicles only made up an 18.84 percent share of that market in 2022 and a 12.41 percent share in 2021, per the data.

Despite industry-wide concerns about a decline in the public’s appetite for light-duty zero-emissions vehicles, 2023 proved to be a record-breaking year for these sales both in California and on a national level, the analysis noted. 

The nation wide effort, lead by California to switch over to zero-emissions electric cars is one of those hopeful climate stories. California announced in 2022 that by 2035 all new cars and light trucks sold in the state will be electric and having already made it to 25% in 2023 they're well on their way. Last year the Biden administration laid out a plan for 50% of all new vehicles (including heavy trucks) would be electric by 2030 nation wide

Electric Cars Outsell Diesels

Breaking sales down by types of powertrain, conventional cars with gasoline engines accounted for 35.3 percent of new registrations. Conventional hybrids were 17.1 percent of the new car market followed by electric cars at 14.6 percent. Diesel deliveries came in at 13.6 percent while deliveries of plug-in hybrids totaled 7.7 percent. According to Dataforce 2023, the most successful model in Europe across all drive types was the Tesla Model Y with 254,822 units sold, ahead of the combustion models Dacia Sandero (235,893) and VW T-Roc (206,438)(..)

P.S. Light passenger diesel vehicle market is slowly dying in Europe...meanwhile Meanwhile, Donald Trump and his followers steer the American auto industry into technological backwardness...!

Pretty soon, the need to import fossil fuels will significantly decrease in Europe...

Seriously questioning the NZ general public for their vote to install National. Here’s some highlights of what our new government plans to do (how much they will actually manage who knows, but several of these are listed in their first 100 days plan):

Stop free prescriptions

Scrap Fair Pay Agreements, which allow unions to strike industry-wide deals that establish a “floor” in terms of pay and conditions

Stop benefits from being index to median household wages (except for superannuation) so; unemployment, jobseeker, and disability payments. People on job seeker payments are $50/week worse off while those on disability are worse off $60/week

Will allow landlords to once again evict tenants without cause, alongside scrapping a range of other regulations it argues have decreased rental supply and pushed up prices 🙄

Axe the $14.6 billion light rail project in Auckland (as they plan to spend a similar figure on seven highway projects instead)

Cancel the $7.4b “Let’s get Wellington Moving” project. Two of LGWM’s most significant projects included the introduction of light rail in Wellington from the city centre to the south coast and the “pedestrianisation” of the Golden Mile precinct. National want to instead… build another traffic tunnel….

Eliminate the Māori Health Authority, Te Aka Whai Ora.

Scrap Health Star Rating for food.

Repeal Labour’s Resource Management Act reforms, and introduce a fast-track consenting regime…. Because making rash decisions around resource consents sounds like a solid idea 🙄

Get rid of The Clean Car Scheme, which subsidises part of the purchase of electric vehicles and hybrids.

Remove the Medium-Density Residential Standards (the 3x3 “sausage flat” law) that are designed to prevent urban sprawl….

Axe taxpayer funding for Section 27 cultural reports that are used in sentencing. Section 27 of the Sentencing Act 2002 provides an avenue for lawyers and defendants to explain personal circumstances that can influence a just sentence outcome, such as social failures faced by the defendant or any support available to them.

End funding for Labour’s “Community Connect” programme, meaning many of the public transport discounts that currently exist will be axed.

There’s more but I am just about done. WTF NZ 😭

Can Russia really increase the production of missiles?

Diego Alves By Diego Alves 04/11/2023 - 19:00 in Military, War Zones

Russia reported that it is increasing monthly missile production rates. The war in Ukraine is consuming missiles much faster than Moscow had predicted. Even the large pre-war Russian stock relying on tactical attack missiles and ballistic missiles, the local industry may not meet the demands of this conflict.

Russia needs these missiles to support its offensive operations in Ukraine. Authorities in Moscow said Russia is doubling the production of precision-guided ammunition (PGMs), according to a Newsweek report. Tactical Missiles Corporation (TMC) is a leading supplier of these systems. However, achieving an increase in PGM production can occur at the expense of other missile programs.

Moscow can try to run its existing missile production lines with additional shifts. For this, companies need skilled workers (there is already a shortage). Russia could meet this need by transferring people from lower priority production programs to others. Of course, these workers will require some "retraining". Establishing totally new production lines for PGMs is a long-term project that cannot produce fast results.

Recent videos from Russia indicate that the country may be about to introduce significant new air-to-air missile features in its most advanced combat jets.

Even if Moscow chooses this path, it will still face a supply problem. It turns out that Russian weapons include a much larger proportion of foreign-made components than previously thought. Western sanctions are restricting supply. Therefore, Moscow should prioritize.

Some Russian surface-to-air (SAM) missile lines are being disabled (or significantly reduced) to release key components. This prioritization may result in an increase in monthly tactical attack and the production of ballistic missiles, but it will not last. Not far in the future, the monthly production rate will begin to fall as the supply of critical parts begins to run out.

Other parts of the Russian defense industry are already feeling the moment. The Russian army is losing tanks in Ukraine at a very high pace. Before the war, there were two active tank production lines in Russia. Recently, one was temporarily disabled due to a lack of critical components.

How long Russia can sustain a higher rate of missile production is unknown, but it is definitely not indefinitely.

Alumina is expected to grow with a CAGR of 5.42% in the product segment during 2023-2030.

Alumina or aluminum oxide is obtained by chemically processing the bauxite ore using the Bayer process. It possesses excellent dielectric properties, high stiffness & strength, thermal conductivity, wear resistance, and other such favorable characteristics, making it a preferable material for a range of applications.

Hydrolysis of aluminum oxide results in the production of high-purity alumina, a uniform fine powder characterized by a minimum purity level of 99.99%. Its chemical stability, low-temperature sensitivity, and high electrical insulation make HPA an ideal choice for manufacturing LED lights and electric vehicles. The growth of these industries is expected to contribute to the progress of the global HPA market.

EVs Spike Sustainability Trend

As per the estimates from the International Energy Agency, nearly 2 million electric vehicles were sold globally in the first quarter of 2022, with a whopping 75% increase from the preceding year. Aluminum has emerged as the preferred choice for auto manufacturers in this new era of electromobility. Automotive & transportation leads the industry vertical segment in the studied market, garnering $40792.89 million in 2022.

In May 2021, RusAl collaborated with leading rolled aluminum products manufacturer Gränges AB to develop alloys for automotive applications. Automakers are increasingly substituting stainless steel with aluminum in their products owing to the latter’s low weight, higher impact absorption capacity, and better driving range.  

Also, electric vehicles have a considerably lower carbon footprint compared to their traditional counterparts. With the growing need for lowering emissions and raising awareness of energy conservation, governments worldwide are encouraging the use of EVs, which is expected to propel the demand for aluminum over the forecast period.

The Netherlands is one of the leading countries in Europe in terms of EV adoption. The Dutch government has set an ambitious goal that only zero-emission passenger cars (such as battery-operated EVs, hydrogen FCEVs, and plug-in hybrid EVs) will be sold in the nation by 2030. Further, according to the Canadian government, the country’s aluminum producers have some of the lowest CO2 footprints in the world.

Alcoa Corporation and Rio Tinto partnered to form ELYSIS, headquartered in Montréal, Canada. In 2021, it successfully produced carbon-free aluminum at its Industrial Research and Development Center in Saguenay. The company is heralding the beginning of a new era for the global aluminum market with its ELYSIS™ technology, which eliminates all direct GHG emissions from the smelting process, and is the first technology ever to emit oxygen as a byproduct.

Wrapping Up

Aluminum is among the most widely used metals in the world today, and is anticipated to underpin the global transition to a low-carbon economy. Moreover, it is 100% recyclable and can retain its properties & quality post the recycling process.

Reprocessing the metal is a more energy-efficient option compared to extracting the element from an ore, causing less environmental damage. As a result, the demand for aluminum in the sustainable energy sector has thus increased. The efforts to combat climate change are thus expected to bolster the aluminum market’s growth over the forecast period.

Difficulties and Possibilities

Although hybrid cars offer many advantages, they also encounter specific obstacles that require the attention of both car manufacturers and decision-makers. The main obstacle is the considerable initial expense linked to hybrid technology, such as the cost of advanced batteries and electric drivetrains. Although savings from fuel and maintenance expenses in the long run can balance out the upfront investment, affordability can still be a challenge for certain customers, especially in developing countries with restricted purchasing power.

Additionally, challenges to the widespread adoption of certain hybrids (PHEV) and electric vehicles include infrastructure limitations like the availability of charging stations and grid capacity. Collaboration among governments, utilities, and private stakeholders is necessary to address infrastructure gaps by investing in charging infrastructure, expanding renewable energy sources, and promoting smart grid technologies.

Nevertheless, these obstacles provide chances for creativity and teamwork in the automotive sector. Automakers can reduce the cost of hybrid vehicles and increase accessibility to a wider consumer base by utilizing economies of scale, improving battery technology, and optimizing production processes.

Moreover, collaborations among car manufacturers, energy providers, and tech companies can speed up the implementation of charging stations and develop fresh business strategies related to electric transportation services. The merging of automotive and energy industries, from ride-sharing apps to connecting vehicles to the power grid, offers potential for a sustainable and interconnected transportation system.

To sum up, hybrid vehicles are revolutionizing the contemporary automotive sector by providing a powerful combination of fuel efficiency, performance, and eco-friendliness. Thanks to technological advancements, changing consumer tastes, and regulatory backing, hybrid vehicles are expected to have a more important impact on the future of transportation.

As we work towards a more environmentally friendly transportation system in the future, the ongoing development of hybrid technology will play a crucial role in lowering carbon emissions, addressing air pollution, and improving energy security. Automakers can drive positive change and create a more sustainable and resilient automotive industry for future generations by adopting innovation, collaboration, and sustainable practices.
