A 1 MW/150 MWh battery from Form Energy will be installed in Minnesota by 2023. Will the new technology challenge lithium-ion batteries from Tesla for dominance in energy storage?
The financial situation at Tesla has for years been called its biggest weakness. However, I will explain in this article why I believe financials are a strength for Tesla, and one out of 7 reasons why Tesla will benefit from the crisis.
The ace CleanTechnica legal team weighs in on the lawsuit brought by Tesla against the county of Alameda. Read on to see why we think this tactic will not succeed.
It’s unusually cool outside here in Louisiana. It’s even been snowing in some areas of the country. It seems that May and last October decided to play a switch-a-roo.
At the moment, we have had over a quarter million deaths due to covid-19. This death toll will continue to rise until the virus infects everyone and causes millions of deaths, or until we defeat it, either by social distancing and contact tracing, a vaccine, a treatment, or whatever tools we employ, including new technologies. I am personally fascinated by the potential of covid-sniffing dogs.
There an enormous amount that could be written and has been written about covid-19, social distancing, testing (inadequate testing), the effects of widespread economic shutdown, etc. However, the biggest problem — by far — that I see is the US government has taken a split approach to handling the pandemic.
Parts of the world are already too hot for humans thanks to climate change. In a new article by NewScientist, I learned of a different way of taking your temperature. It’s called “wet-bulb temperature” (TW), and it measures the heat and humidity taken from a thermometer covered in a water-soaked cloth. If the temperature is higher than 35 degrees Celsius or 95 degrees Fahrenheit TW, the body is unable to cool itself by sweating.
Following the news from Elon Musk that Tesla will be filing a lawsuit against Alameda County’s unelected Interim Health Officer, who, seemingly against the wishes of the governor and president, believes that Tesla shouldn’t reopen until June first, Tesla owners and shareholders are speaking out against what they see as unfair treatment of Tesla by Alameda County.
I appears that Alameda County has started a needless war with one of its major job providers, and the winners won’t be Tesla or Alameda County. The winner will be whichever new state ends up being Tesla’s new headquarters.
Tesla has received a patent for a new tabless battery cell that Elon Musk says is way more important that it may seem.
