It may be late to play the battery company angle.  I didn't see any of these traded as stocks, at least not the first five.

At least with fixed position industrial batteries, folks can control heat and discharge/recharge rates etc., so they should last longer than in cars.

I can't see batteries being much of a factor on the grid in the US for a long time, if ever.  I wonder if we could use excess power to generate hydrogen and then store than and run fuel cells as needed, but it sounds expensive, to me.  The hydro storage angle looks more probable, though then you need dams.

Vital to grid reliability, today, the U.S. pumped storage hydropower fleet includes about 22 gigawatts of electricity-generating capacity and 550 gigawatt-hours of energy storage with facilities in every region of the country.

That bill only allocates $37 billion a year, which really is chump change for the country.

The trees are really starting to bud around here.  That is always an uplifting sign to me.  In a month, we'll be into azaleas and dogwoods and it is pretty amazing in places.

Chicago sues oil companies for impacts of climate change | The Hill

If this went to court (which I doubt), these cities might find an unwanted outcome.

How does this line up with free speech?  Commercials basically are designed to deceive in some fashion, I'm not sure there are any that are completely open and honest.
suing oil companies for tv ads...lol. 

how you know these climate change freaks are unserious idiots and should never be taken seriously and only laughed at; why don't they sue the US military- which is BY FAR the largest single emitter of hydrocarbons in the entire world. why don't they sue private jet charting companies or manufacturers? why don't they pressure US politicians to condemn China or India in the UN with a resolution for their emissions or try to bring forth law suites against China or India in the ICJ for their emissions? 

Nah, let's sue oil companies for tv ads, ban gas lawn mowers (lol @ California) and gas stoves. That'll show 'em. That'll save the planet!

Only the drug commercials.

Taking this may cause death.
kinda weird how the US is one of only two nations in the entire world that allows pharmaceutical companies to directly advertise to consumers at all. we do have the fattest, sickest, and dumbest population of the entire developed world, so...'MERICA baby.

The "climate freaks/advocates" look for publicity, that's what drives most of their actions.  This isn't unique to them of course.  AGs also thrive on publicity.  And anyone else in elected office.

I don't recall any oil company commercials that claimed climated change was wrong.
