Sodium-Ion Cars Ready for Sale
https://invidious.lunar.icu/watch?v=nl_kIaN29SU
Chinese scientists are about to launch three different lines of #sodium-powered cars. They will be cheaper than regular cars or electric vehicles—which is why environmentalists hope they’ll kickstart mass market adoption of #clean-energy travel.

DOI Issues Highest-Ever Disbursements from Wind Energy from Federal Lands
The Department of the Interior’s (DOI) Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ONRR) disbursed $21.53 billion in revenues generated in fiscal year 2022 from energy production on federal and Tribal onshore lands, and federal offshore areas, including the record $4.37 billion generated from the New York Bight offshore wind lease sale. This year’s disbursements include the highest-ever revenues from renewable energy programs on federal lands and waters, driven by President Biden’s efforts to jump-start the American offshore wind industry and make the U.S. a magnet for clean energy investments.

Iter cryoplant passes another milestone
The extensive cryogenic power needed to cool the ITER magnets, thermal shield and cryopumps will be delivered from a single location on the ITER site—an 8,000 m² area not far from the Tokamak Complex that houses the cryoplant infrastructure.
