But I actually watched it the whole way though, which is rare for me.\u00a0 LOTS of good material that hardly ever sees the light of day.\u00a0 And if you get to the very end, there\u2019s a fantastic rant about today\u2019s political landscape.<\/p>\n<p>The best highlight for me was the case that fossil fuels are \u201csingle use\u201d sources of energy.\u00a0 You burn it once, and that\u2019s it, until you dig up some more.\u00a0 Whereas the fuel for solar\/wind\/geothermal is free, and the batteries that store it can last for decades, after which they are recycled.\u00a0 All the important elements that make up the battery can be recycled into new batteries forever.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s just too much other good stuff.\u00a0 I hope you\u2019ll watch it.\u00a0 That link again is\u00a0Technology Connections<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your attention to this matter energy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/story\/2026\/2\/1\/2366697\/-You-are-being-misled-about-renewable-energy-technology\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You are being misled about renewable energy technology. https:\/\/www.dailykos.com\/story\/2026\/2\/1\/2366697\/-You-are-being-misled-about-renewable-energy-technology Publish Date: 2026-02-01 18:08:00 Source Domain:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":208954,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdn.prod.dailykos.com\/images\/1523288\/story_image\/How-Do-Solar-Powers-Generate-Enough-Electricity.jpg?1769986194","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,129],"class_list":["post-208953","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology","tag-energy","tag-solar"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208953"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=208953"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208953\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":208955,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/208953\/revisions\/208955"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/208954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=208953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=208953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=208953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
