Renewable Tuesday: Denying Denial [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2025-06-10

Public Global Warming denial used to be a big deal, but it has come way, way down, from a majority to maybe 20 or 35% worldwide. It depends on how you count. Corporate and government denial are still with us, as you can see yet again, down at the bottom of this post.

Chinese firm announces new tech that could completely transform future vehicles — here are the details

Battery giant CATL has created technology that could make charging your electric car nearly as quick as pumping gas, InsideEVs reported. Their latest lithium-iron phosphate battery delivers hundreds of miles of driving range after just five minutes connected to a charger, surpassing rival BYD's fast-charging innovation. This second-generation Shenxing battery charges quickly, with impressive technical capabilities. "This new 12C battery can add 2.5 kilometers of range per second, allowing drivers to get 323 miles of range in just five minutes of charging — more than BYD's 248 miles in around the same time," InsideEVs noted. The technology performs impressively in cold conditions, maintaining quick charging abilities even when temperatures drop to 14 degrees Fahrenheit.

That kind of fast charging is one of those ideas that lots of people get at the same time when conditions ripen.

Wind power tourism is clearly not something that will appeal to the whole population, just like everything else—sports, foods, different kinds of music…But we can't complain about who does like it.

Greenwashing update: Meet the new "Green" & "Clean" fuel source.

“Rebranding” methane as “renewable” and “clean”.

One bar graph can change minds. Plus, GOP turns against green energy

Republicans have soured on green energy While wind and solar power remain broadly popular, support for these energy sources has slipped since Trump’s first term, driven by a sharp decline among Republicans and GOP-leaning voters, according to new data from the Pew Research Center. Since 2020, Republican support for expanding solar has dropped from 84% to 61%, and for wind power from 75% to just 48%.

Not a chance. He won’t be able to get that many plants engineered and permitted in the rest of his term. Never mind getting them built.

Zeldin’s main goal is to “drive a dagger through the heart of climate change religion.” “Climate change is real and is supported by a vast body of scientific evidence,” the AI program said in a statement obtained by E&E News. “It refers to significant and lasting changes in the Earth’s climate, particularly an increase in global temperatures, largely due to human activities such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation and industrial processes.”
