South Australia leading the energy transition again with the launch of a pilot plant that could dramatically reduce the cost of green hydrogen through photocatalytic water splitting. Rather than convert solar energy to electricity to run electrolysers, it uses the energy of the sun directly.

I love how the right is trying to scare us by saying the United States is turning into one of those European countries with great mass transit and free healthcare.

Corporate profits have hit record highs. CEOs are paid 290x as much as a typical worker. We're subsidizing huge corporations that pay lousy wages through food stamps and Medicaid. But instead of cracking down on corporate greed, Republicans want to punish the working poor.

Every single Senate Democrat opposes giving the richest Americans a tax break as working people struggle to make ends meet (thanks to Trump’s reckless economic actions). Republicans support tax handouts for the ultra-wealthy & destroying vital benefits that families rely on.

Attacking Iran fits with Trump’s desire to divert attention from his failures at home: his losses in the courts, his unpopular budget bill, millions of people protesting against his authoritarianism. When he feels humiliated, he gets reckless. Understand what's going on.

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Former State Department official Joel Rubin says Trump’s 2018 decision to kill the Iran Deal led directly to last night’s bombing. “This was a position we should never have been in… because of his recklessness.” Trump didn’t stop a war. He lit the fuse.
