Giant lithium-ion batteries are touted as planet saviours, but make sure you’re on the other side of town when they explode into toxic fireballs that firefighters simply can’t extinguish.

On the large-scale, it’s the kind of terrifying Tesla moment experienced by locals in Victoria when one of these lithium-ion wonders went up in flames and literally burned for days, because firefighters are unable to extinguish lithium battery fires – see above and our post here.

At the micro-level, these exciting moments in cutting-edge battery technology are being enjoyed by the owners of all kinds of Electric Vehicles, large and small.

On October 11, the PBS NewsHour warned all about the threat of right-wing “Christian nationalism” and what it means for the midterm elections. Anchor William Brangham reported “A growing movement led by right-wing politicians is increasingly challenging a centuries-old value of America’s political system, the separation of church and state.”

PBS ran clips of Republicans Kari Lake, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Doug Mastriano, Dan Cox, and Ron DeSantis all speaking about drawing on their religion in public life or how (as Boebert said) “The church is supposed to direct the government.
