Holy spuds. I just flicked through the schedule for next weekend's Everything Electric show and saw that the XPENG 2-person electric VTOL aircraft is gonna be on display! This is one thing I'm very much wanting to see in person.

This Sydney event is less than a fortnight away so get your tickets. Dee-täles are 👇

Recycling Solar Panels: A Path to Sustainable Solar Energy 🌞♻️

The transition to solar energy is a cornerstone of the global shift toward sustainability. However, with more solar panels reaching the end of their life cycle, we must tackle the challenge of solar panel waste responsibly. Recycling solar panels isn’t just about waste management; it’s about recovering valuable materials and reducing the environmental impact of solar energy production. Let’s…

Pass legislation to significantly expand transmission for clean energy NOW!

AN OPEN LETTER to THE PRESIDENT & U.S. CONGRESS

820 so far! Help us get to 1,000 signers!

Right now, there are at least 2,000 gigawatts of renewable energy waiting for permission to connect to power lines in the U.S., which is more than the total capacity of the country’s existing power plants. Wait times to connect new power plants to the grid can reach five years or more. Without rapidly improving transmission, the United States will not be able to achieve Biden's goal of 100% clean energy by 2035 or provide cheaper, more reliable electricity to American households. If the U.S. can’t build new transmission at a faster pace, roughly 80 percent of the emissions reductions expected from the Inflation Reduction Act–the largest climate legislation in U.S. history–might not happen.

That’s why I’m writing to urge Congress to pass legislation to significantly expand transmission for clean energy.

Multiple efforts are currently in play. Most recently in the House, Representatives Sean Casten and Mike Levin introduced the Clean Energy and Transmission Acceleration Act, (HR 6747) which would encourage the development of new transmission lines to carry renewable power where it’s needed while protecting the rights of communities to provide input on where lines are built and to benefit from their construction. I strongly support this bill.

But any legislation is better than none, and NONE of the bills proposed so far have been passed. This is not good.

Increasing access to clean energy will help tackle the climate crisis by ensuring the reliability of the grid and reducing consumers' bills. Renewable energies like wind and solar are quickly becoming the least expensive source of energy and we need to make sure as many people as possible get access to these clean, abundant energy sources.

Please pass a strong, fair transmission bill—like HR 6747—that prioritizes clean energy, climate change, and environmental justice. This is urgent; all of our children are counting on us to secure their futures. Thanks.

We don’t talk about this enough.

As much as I’m all for innovation, when it comes to EVs, we’ve got to stay honest about the gaps. The tech is exciting—but not flawless. And when something breaks, it’s not always a quick fix.

Here are some thoughts on where EVs are today, what’s missing, and why workforce development needs to be part of the conversation.

🔋Let’s Be Real About EVs: The Future Is Here, But It’s Not Fully Charged⚡️

I’m a believer in innovation. And I genuinely think electric vehicles (EVs) represent one of the biggest shifts in how we move, build, and live. But while we’re all excited about where this technology is headed, we need to have an honest conversation about where it actually stands right now.

👩🏻‍🔧The tech is promising, but it’s not flawless.

Sure—EVs are cleaner, quieter, and packed with next-level features. Instant torque? Love it. Over-the-air updates? That’s dope. But try taking that road trip in the winter and watch your range disappear. Or stop in a small town and try to find a working fast charger that isn’t already taken. You start to realize that “future ready” doesn’t always mean “present day functional.”

⛓️‍💥What happens when something breaks? You wait. And wait.

This part doesn’t get talked about enough: there just aren’t many mechanics who can actually fix an EV. If your battery goes down or a software issue pops up that can’t be solved with an update, you might be sitting for days—or even weeks. Why? Because the pool of trained EV technicians is still small, and most local shops aren’t trained or equipped to handle high-voltage systems.

That creates a real bottleneck. Not just for consumers, but for the movement itself.

💪🏽This is more than a tech gap. It’s a workforce gap.

We’re pushing EV adoption across the board—from fleet vehicles to daily drivers—but we haven’t built up the talent pipeline to support them when things go wrong. If we want this EV revolution to be real, we’ve got to invest in real people—especially folks from communities that have historically been locked out of tech opportunities. Train them. Certify them. Open doors.

♻️We’ve come a long way, but let’s stay grounded.

This isn’t about being anti-EV. It’s about being pro-truth and pro-people. EVs are the future, no question. But until the repair infrastructure catches up—and we close the gap between innovation and access—folks are going to feel the pain (Cue Method Man) of these growing pains.

Let’s not just build electric vehicles. Let’s build the ecosystem to support them.

Hey Bucky, where's my hover board?

A few months back I bought a small, portable induction hob to try out. I’d like to replace gas cooking but reviews of induction cooktops seem inconsistent. I started out with herb tea. Licorice and astragalus like to be simmered for a while before drinking, ostensibly a perfect experiment for a new, high-tech, low energy appliance. Induction hobs don’t simmer though. There’s no power gradient in…
