NASA’s DAGGER could give advance warning of the next big solar storm
There’s enough trouble on this planet already that we don’t need new problems coming here from the sun. Unfortunately, we can’t yet destroy this pitiless star, so we are at its mercy. But NASA at least may soon be able to let us know when one of its murderous flares is going to send our […]

Tesla has a home battery to sell you, with or without solar
Tesla is opening up Powerwall home battery sales, nearly two years after limiting them because its supply was “too low.” Tesla announced its backup battery tech long ago, in 2015, explicitly intending for the product to work in tandem with solar panels. Yet up until 2021, the automaker also allowed folks to buy the big […]

Best Destiny 2 Solar builds for Warlock, Titan, and Hunter
Looking for the best Destiny 2 Solar build for your subclass? The Solar rework introduced a number of new ways to customise your character if you’re using the Dawnblade, Sunbreaker, or Gunslinger subclass. However, with so many possible grenade, melee, super, and special ability combos, which you can further enhance with fragments, it can be tough to figure out the best build for your Guardian.
The best Destiny 2 Solar build after the 3.0 rework uses the same system of Aspects and Fragments as the Void 3.0 rework that launched with The Witch Queen. In case you’re returning from a very long Destiny hiatus, Aspects affect a class-specific ability and also come with a number of slots that can hold Fragments. The effects from Fragments aren’t quite as strong, but they’re universal across their subclass in the free PC game. The best build boasts Aspects and Fragments that synchronise for massive buffs.

Why climate credits for solar geoengineering are a bad idea
Buyer beware: there’s a dubious new kind of climate credit for sale.
Traditional carbon offset credits, say, for planting trees or protecting forests, have a record of failing to actually reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Now, a startup is selling credits for its attempts to manipulate the planet’s ability to reflect sunlight, a controversial response to climate change called solar geoengineering.
A group of prominent scientists published a letter yesterday that warns that this kind of climate intervention is nowhere near ready to be commercially deployed and probably never should be. A big name on the letter is James Hansen, a former NASA scientist who’s now at Columbia University and is famous for sounding the alarm on climate change…
Sono Motors has killed off its Sion EV in a pivot to solar tech business

The German-based company, which went public in November 2022, announced Friday it is laying off 300 employees as a result of the change in business model. COO Thomas Hausch […]
