Thanks for posting this. There is so much progress happening but it all stays out of our daily conversations and certainly out of American mainstream media.

Maybe that's why the U.S. is falling so far behind other nations on scaling up and building out the new energy techs we so desperately need?

So WE need to keep sharing all of the positive progress being made away from fossil fuels.

Hopefully, someday soon, the Biden administration will be ready to start the "big push" of the transition in a loud, long term, public engagement and information campaign as was done for the WW2 war effort, the moon landing, invasion of Iraq, etc.

We will need that public buy-in and excitement to really get the private investment ball rolling.
