There is money to be made here, 80% by 2030 and 100% by 2035, as Joe has the guts to move forward despite the storm of stupidity. Joe does not lack guts or wisdom and Trump or any other republican had neither. Country first is what this is about, not trying to get elected by appealing to ignorant morons with a chip on their shoulders.
Of course, the republicans would roll everything back and open coal fired plants instead, fuck the future and fuck the sanctions that other countries would put on America in the future. The brown people are taking over, hordes of them are crossing the border, America is under siege. Woke ideas are ravaging the land as crime by blacks in the cities rises to insane levels. Only the good Christian white real Americans who watch foxnews, know the truth and vote republican can save America, under the genius leadership of Donald Trump! Welcome to MAGA world and reality as presented by foxnews.

Biden aims to cut carbon emissions
Attempting to succeed where his predecessors have failed, President Joe Biden’s administration this week was expected to formally propose cutting carbon emissions from new and existing U.S. power plants. Courts blocked a previous effort by the Obama administration to limit these emissions and a less ambitious proposal from the Trump administration to achieve reductions through increased efficiency. Biden’s plan is expected to incentivize carbon capture and storage technologies and discourage the construction of plants that burn natural gas, media organizations reported based on confidential sources. The administration has said it wants 80% of U.S. electricity to come from sources that emit no greenhouse gases by 2030 and for the power sector to be emissions-free by 2035. The new plan is likely to face legal challenges from utilities and states that produce fossil fuels.
MATERIALS SCIENCE
Advance doubles battery output
The world’s largest maker of batteries announced last week a major advance in the energy storage of its batteries, which the company claims could power electric aircraft and double the range of electric cars to 1000 kilometers between charges. China-based Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited (CATL) plans to begin mass-producing lithium-ion batteries this year that can store up to 500 watt-hours per kilogram, nearly twice as much as industry-leading cells produced by Tesla and other big batterymakers. The performance comes from improvements to the battery’s electrodes and electrolyte, says Wu Kai, CATL’s chief scientist. Last year, Amprius, a U.S. battery startup, announced it, too, is close to manufacturing such a battery.
