As someone who rode the R-line until 3 years ago let me just say. Fare 👏 free 👏 transit 👏 works.

The R-line free fare pilot was an immense success for @RIPTA_RI, spearheaded by @MeghanEKallman and @LeonelaFelix. 40% increased ridership, easier boarding increased efficiency, savings for low income riders and lower emissions. We hope a fully funded RIPTA can do more fare-free.

The thing about a next-gen battery that costs only $10/kWh is that the company would never need to tell the press about it the press would find out about it when it displaces every source of conventional generation on the grid.

They missed the best opportunity in the world to stage the sale of the card and then after the check is signed have the seller go "No wait it's. here in my pocket. isn't that odd. But after all, why not?".

A Toronto man says the artist gave him a beer to celebrate the sale, a day before his 37th birthday.

You probably didn't know there was such a thing as professional Tag and even if you did you probably didn't know how damn entertaining it was.

Absolutely baffled by this poll question from NPR carrying water for the false-choice narrative of climate change mitigation vs. economic growth. This reads like a push poll question.

The success of Barbie and Oppenheimer are just going to convince studio executives what moviegoers crave Physicist and Mattel cinematic universes and not original ideas for movies. Just make good movies. Side note: this involves paying writers and actors.

If I owned a company I’d be rushing to be the first to replace my CEO with AI - massive media attention and honestly why not automate the most expensive job and reinvest the savings into the company?.

When they were listed as threatened in the 1980s, there were just 10 pairs of breeding piping plovers left in Rhode Island. This year, there are 111 — the first time they've made it back in the triple digits. Rhode Island is for plovers.

Withing 6-8 years it will become standard for every hotel / vacation / airbnb rental to come with details on EV charging in the same way that they specify bed sizes.

Hot #energytwitter take:. Residential Demand Response is insanely under-valued - none I've seen would compel me to set my thermostat above 76. And that's IF you even get paid for the value you're providing. This is the great energy demand-value gap.

As the state endures another bout of extreme heat, experts lament its lack of incentives to recruit residents to help ease demand on the stressed grid.

A good manager is like a good politician - the only people you’d want in the role are people who don’t want to be there.
