I’m tired of this. Skilled workers like me have done nothing but create more value & jobs for this country. And this is the treatment. Some day the US will remember that its entire modern existence has depended on the sweat of immigrants. So much for being the party of business.
JUST IN: President Trump plans to sign an executive order extending to January a pause on issuing “green cards” to new immigrants -- and will also halt temporary work visas for skilled workers, managers and au pairs in the H-1B, H-4, H-2B, L-1 and J categories.

I want to make sure everyone understands this. 50% aka half of the emissions reductions came from energy efficiency and the policies and technologies that enabled it. The true unsung hero of the fight against climate change.
US power sector CO2 emissions have declined 28% since 2005, and are now at the lowest level since 1987.
About 75% of the decrease in power sector CO2 emissions comes from energy efficiency + renewable energy. Only 25% from switching coal -> natural gas.

Yup.
@debarghya_das
is exactly right. After 15+ years of being in the US, creating a pretty incredible company, 4 degrees, and hiring many amazing people, I’m going to be waiting indefinitely 🫠. Oh I’m also an expert on several topics of national security…whomp whomp
There's a real possibility that Indians of extraordinary ability must wait indefinitely to get a US green card.
If the huge spike in applicants continues, when we get back to pre-pandemic EB-1 issue rates, demand far exceeds supply.
🇺🇸 does not want 🇮🇳 of extraordinary ability!

Woah. It’s happening. All these years later we’re finally seeing Na ion batteries at density enough. Apparently Prussian blue in there too. Well well. This race is just getting started. Comparable density to LFP means LFG!!!
Our first sodium-ion battery will power the Chery EV models. The award-winning technology breaks the bottleneck of limited raw materials and provides a cost-effective solution.

Great question. Transformer manufacturing is basically not a free market thang. Often captured deeply by incumbents and with little innovation since Thomas Edison’s time and SOME OF US HAVE BEEN SCREAMING THAT WE NEED TO FIX THIS
apparently the waitlist for distribution transformers is more than a year and the price has quadrupled.

My biggest fear is we waste a bunch of money on chargers without understanding how people actually behave and forget that maintaining infrastructure is as important as building it
My greatest fear for the EV $$$ in the infrastructure bills is that we install a bunch of slow L2 chargers in public places instead of making sure there is a well identified fast charger at every highway exit and within ~xx miles of most Americans. Better if I can get coffee too

Finally getting around to reading this truly excellent post from

on how the US is struggling to build things.
Another critical challenge though is to fix the abysmal immigration process in order to have the talent to “build” as
@AlecStapp
often talks about
The U.S. can't build housing. Or transit. Or solar power. Or transmission lines. Or semiconductor fabs.
We are the Build-Nothing Country.
And this needs to change, and it needs to change fast.
