It would be cool if any of the 35 texts Moscot sends me every week included a coupon code for a some discounted glasses. Instead it’s just “hey king remember when I told you yesterday that we still have those $800 frames you like? You’re gonna love this: we also have $900 sunglasses you’ll like.”

Satellite data shows oil spills from shipping happen far more often than reported, revealing high-density 'slick belts' that correspond with shipping lanes. Most spills are not investigated. The cost of cleaning up oil pollution is often paid by coastal communities. share.google/zjELnkfcKMpZ...

Only 0.5% of 90,000 oil slicks reported over five-year period, analysis finds

Pollution incidents reported between 2014 and 2019 were compared against scientific study that used satellite imagery to count slicks

The world’s largest sand battery got through Finland’s harshest winter in years. 2,000 tonnes of sand, heated to 500-600°C by cheap power, feeding district heating in Pornainen. And it worked. Result from one install: oil down 100%, emissions down 70%. Industrial process heat is the real prize.
