Price parity between Battery Electric Vehicles using LFP battery packs (cost was $100/kWh) and Internal Combustion Engine vehicles was achieved in Oct. 2023. And now batteries are even cheaper. As of July 2024, LFP pack prices were at $75/kWh. Cheaper to make an EV than ICE!

Gasoline-only vehicles accounted for 49% of global new-vehicle sales in the first half of 2026, down from 73% in 2021, per new Mobility Global data. Gas-only sales fell 10% year over year to 20.25 million units 👏 (More electrek.co/gas-cars-fall-be…)

EV charging enters the MEGAWATT ERA. ⚡ China’s Geely has deployed new chargers rated at an insane 2,250 kW. Current test vehicles are already pulling ~1,100 kW: 🔋 10–70%: 4.5 mins 🔋 10–97%: 8.7 mins “EVs take too long to charge” is rapidly becoming an obsolete argument. carnewschina.com/2026/09/29/…

France reached 42% of BEV registrations in September 2026. That is a solid number nevertheless I am still asking myself why there are still 58 % buying a NON BEV car. auto-infos.fr/article/l-elec…

Après beaucoup de confusion, il apparait que deux pilotes, ukrainien et russe, se trouvaient comme passagers à bord du vol Flydubai. Ils ont réussi ensemble à reprendre le contrôle de la cabine de pilotage et à poser l'appareil, aprés que le copilote omanien ait poignardé le pilote et tenté de faire s'écraser l'avion. Un russe et un ukrainien qui travaillent ensemble: une plutôt belle fin pour cette histoire.

Once the glaciers of the European Alps have melted away and this process will be complete very soon we will see rivers in many countries that were once mighty waterways dry up completely in the summer, never again reaching their former scale, even in winter and some don't deserve to be called rivers anymore. The consequences for farming, logistics, industry and energy generation are massive and costly, because the decision was made worldwide to continue using fossil fuels on a large scale. The price for this will be very high, and the cause is ignorance, greed, and stupidity. Don't look up.

Trump’s approval rating has dropped to 37% in a WSJ poll, the lowest of any president heading into a midterm election in Journal polls dating to 1990, per WSJ

From 1995 to 2025, Poland's GDP per capita went from $3,700 to $28,400. Estonia's GDP per capita went from $3,100 to $34,400. Czechia went from $5,900 to $35,900. All 3 now have a higher GDP per capita than Greece (which was part of the West during the CW). And they're more or less at the same level of Portugal (also Western during CW). Poland & Czechia were Soviet satellite states during the CW. In Warsaw Pact. Estonia was literally one of the Soviet Socialist republics. Despite that, these countries have prospered and thrived since the end of the Cold War. Stop blaming the "legacy of Communism" or "the West's neoliberalism" for Russia's failures. Russia has failed in recent decades because of Russia. Not because they were Communist in the 20th century and not because the big bad Western powers gave them the "Wrong" economic policy guidance. Stop infantilizing Russia. It is not a toddler. It has agency. data.worldbank.org/indicator…

Longtime Republican political operative Karl Rove said his party is being taken over by “Nazis”

725 men, 151 women, and 16 children raped by russian soldiers in Ukraine. These are just “documented” cases by the UN. These real numbers are much worse.

Another reason why the Paramount Warner Bros merger and all media mergers going forward should blocked. These consolidations put our freedom of speech even more vulnerable to control by our oligarch overlords. #WatchMuskDoc hollywoodreporter.com/busine…

I saw two hours of the documentary and I know why Elon doesn’t want you to see it

The notion that only $TSLA can achieve unsupervised autonomy in EVs is as idiotic as thinking only Chat GPT/ Anthropic’s Claude/ $GOOG’s Gemini, and now $META Muse can build an AI agent that pays your bills, shops, makes bookings, and otherwise runs your life. Barriers to entry are not sky high, substitute products are plentiful, and many formidable competitors are chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Big difference: $META trades at 25x 2026 Adj EPS, while $TSLA is priced at 230x 2026 Adj EPS. Both are expected to grow revs over the next 5 years at +18%.

Stop expecting the windshield wipers on your Tesla to work properly. At this point, just accept reality: after 15 years, Tesla still hasn’t figured out windshield wipers. 😂 Maybe one day they’ll get around to solving this groundbreaking technology you had on your Toyota Camry twenty years ago.

Trump’s vision for “energy dominance” has one big problem: fossil fuels have totally lost in the marketplace. Since 2010, the cost of solar has fallen 89%. Batteries are down 93%. Wind is down 63%. Solar generating capacity has now surpassed coal globally. Battery storage has surpassed pumped hydro. And this isn’t just happening in China or rich countries — clean electric technologies are expanding across South Asia, Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa. The money has noticed: global investment in electrotech is now roughly twice investment in fossil fuels. The countries that understand that are building the industries of the future. The United States should be leading that race — not pretending we’re still in the 19th century. nytimes.com/2026/09/23/clima…

Bingo! Bosnia's Muslim elite resisted Ottoman 19C reforms since they might give rights to non-Muslims. Big Bosniak hero is Husein Gradaščević, the Bosnian Dragon, who, to channel NI Loyalists, fought the Ottomans to remain Ottoman.
