ultra-efficient <strong>solar-powered desalination </strong>system has been <a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/05/260530053418.htm">invented </a>by the Dr. Chunlei Guo lab at the <strong>University of Rochester</strong>! Microscopic <strong>grooves</strong> etched by femtosecond <strong>lasers</strong> on specially engineered black metal solar panels draw in saltwater to <strong>evaporate</strong> and be <strong>distilled</strong> into fresh drinking water while directing leftover <strong>salts</strong> onto predefined clearing regions. <a href="https://www.rochester.edu/newscenter/what-is-desalination-definition-ocean-water-704732/">Amazingly</a>, if you add hydrogen titanate <strong>nanoparticles</strong> in the grooves, it also selectively extracts <strong>lithium </strong>from saltwater, producing fresh water and a battery mineral from the same device!</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link

href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_protests_and_demonstrations_in_the_United_States_by_size">No Kings protests</a></strong> were the three largest single-day political manifestations in Americans history. On June 14, 2025, October 18, 2025, and March 28, 2026, millions of people rose up to exert their right to freely speak against the multitude of corruptions and defilements wrought by the unprecedentedly vile mafia regime in the White House. Now, the No Kings movement is planning <strong>Rise Up, Sing Out</strong>, a social event to promote a positive vision of American patriotism.</p><blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;As America approaches its 250th anniversary, we have a choice about what story we tell.</strong></p><p><strong>We can let strongman politics and corruption define the moment. Or we can make the story of America about people coming together &#8212; across race, background, identity, belief, and community &#8212; to defend our rights and build a future rooted in people power.</strong></p><p><strong>On June 14, we rise up, we sing out, and we keep organizing.&#8221;</strong></p><p><strong><a href="https://www.nokings.org/">&#8212; NoKings.org</a></strong></p></blockquote><p>On June 14, 2026, an unprecedented <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_Freedom_250">mixed martial arts tournament</a> is set to be held on the South Lawn of the White House &#8212; nominally as part of America&#8217;s 250th anniversary celebrations, but obviously a wildly inappropriate splurge of taxpayer dollars to stroke the ego of an aging tyrant on his 80th birthday. <strong>Rise Up, Sing Out </strong>is intended as decentralized counterprogramming to this desecration, following the highly successful first No Kings Day protests outshining a similarly unprecedented and inappropriate military parade on June 14 last year.</p><blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;On June 14, the national concert event celebrates the freedoms that belong to all of us: speech, assembly, protest, religion, press, and expression.</strong></p><p><strong>Across the country, communities will gather for local watch parties to sing along, make art, share food, connect with neighbors, and take meaningful action together.&#8221; </strong></p><p><strong><a href="https://www.nokings.org/">&#8212; NoKings.org</a></strong></p></blockquote><p>The centerpiece event is a <strong>star-studded concert</strong> to be held in New York City, but the core of it is bringing together communities to build connections, celebrate freedom, and make plans for defending that freedom. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://www.mobilize.us/nokings/map/"

This kind of thing is a big part of the reason why China is building so much more clean energy than the U.S. The GEO Act would help fix this.</figcaption></figure></div><p>And the <strong>CLEAN Act</strong>, passed on the same day separately from the bigger package, would require the Department of the Interior to hold geothermal lease sales every year, again creating parity with oil and gas drilling. </p><blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;This flexibility would expedite geothermal projects without undermining community input or environmental protections&#8230;</strong></p><p><strong>At a time of extreme political polarization, this package shows that Congress can still come together on commonsense solutions to better the lives of the American people.&#8221; </strong></p><p><strong><a href="https://ocasio-cortez.house.gov/media/press-releases/house-passes-ocasio-cortezs-bill-scale-development-geothermal-energy-projects">&#8212; Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY-14).</a></strong></p></blockquote><blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;We passed a bipartisan package to make it easier to develop geothermal energy sources, allowing more affordable and reliable energy onto the grid&#8230;I encourage the Senate to act soon.&#8221; </strong></p><p><strong><a href="https://naturalresources.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=418815">&#8212; Congressman Bruce Westerman (R-AR-04).</a></strong></p></blockquote><p>This is the best sign yet for geothermal as the one U.S. clean energy sector that has retained substantial bipartisan support, likely thanks to the many <a href="https://www.power-technology.com/news/baker-hughes-fervo-cape-station-project/?cf-view">opportunities </a>for repurposing oil and gas drilling tech, companies, and workers in the growing clean drilling field. However, despite the strong support in an otherwise bitterly divided House, it&#8217;s still not a done deal. There&#8217;s a window of opportunity here to meaningfully accelerate widespread deployment of a proven 24/7 clean energy source!

mainland-located colony of <strong>king penguins (</strong><em><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_penguin">Aptenodytes patagonicus</a></em><strong>) </strong>is <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/may/14/continental-king-penguin-colony-useless-bay-chile">found </a>on the shores of the ironically named <strong>Useless Bay </strong>in the far-south Tierra del Fuego region of <strong>Chile</strong>. Penguins visited for centuries, but a breeding colony has only formed since 2010 thanks to the protection of local retired kindergarten teacher <strong>Cecilia Dur&#225;n Gafo, </strong>who owns the land on these remote shores. She <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/may/14/continental-king-penguin-colony-useless-bay-chile">established </a>and patrolled a private reserve, keeping out human harassers and training invasive minks and foxes to hunt elsewhere with meat scrap lures and deterrent dogs. Now, a team of 12 protectors is <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/may/14/continental-king-penguin-colony-useless-bay-chile">funded </a>by <strong>ecotourism</strong>, and the colony has grown to nearly <strong>200</strong>, with a record-high <strong>23 </strong>surviving chicks in 2025.

href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_spurred_tortoise">Centrochelys sulcata</a></em>, the third-largest tortoise in the world) in <strong>Senegal</strong>, at the edge of the <strong>Sahara

conservation project. Now, satellite imagery reveals that the tortoises have transformed the landscape! Their deep burrows (reaching up to 15 meters long!) punched through the dried-out crust and let rainwater be stored in the soil, with green vegetation patches arising where the tortoises had dug. These ecosystem engineers directly helped reverse local desertification, a great new example of landscape-scale rewilding benefits.

reefs, hammerhead and gulper sharks, Cuvier&#8217;s beaked whales, orcas, manta rays, dolphins, seabirds, sea turtles, the colossal yokozuna slickhead fish, and <a

In just a few years, the Blean bison have shaped a more complex and ecologically rich <strong>woodland-pasture mosaic</strong> landscape, with their natural behaviors directly increasing biodiversity. <strong>Bark stripping</strong> <a href="https://wildwoodtrust.org/conservation-and-rewilding/conservation-projects/blean-bison-project/">created </a><strong>standing deadwood</strong> habitat for woodpeckers, bats, and fungi, <strong>dust bathing </strong>created sandy habitat for lizards, insects, and wildflowers, and <strong>thinning shrubs</strong> like rhododendron let more sunlight to the forest floor, allowing new seeds to germinate.

</strong>appears to be enjoying a Pakistan-style <strong>grassroots solar super-boom</strong> in 2026! The archipelago nation <strong>imported</strong> more Chinese solar panels (over 4<strong>,000 MW</strong> worth!) than any nation in the world (except the Netherlands) in just <strong>January</strong> through <strong>April</strong>, and much of Europe gets solar panels through Dutch ports so the Philippines is likely the leader in within-country installation. Rooftop solar in the country has nearly doubled in the last twelve months, and will likely surge much further.

Now, demand for <strong>Monster Wolf </strong>robots is sky-high, as the custom-made solar-powered shriek-emitting animatronic scarecrows are now widely used in Japan to keep bears away from crops and human settlements. A changing array of disturbing sounds and sudden movements &#8220;keeps them scary,&#8221; preventing wildlife getting used to it. Manufacturer <strong>Ohta </strong>is now <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/asia/japan/japan-robot-wolf-bear-attacks-ohta-seiki-b2975670.html">developing </a>new wheeled and handheld models. <strong>Robots</strong> increasingly play a vital role in human/wildlife coexistence, a trend likely to keep growing.

href="https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2026/05/19/agrivoltaics-solar-farming">thanks </a>to recently passed laws both forbidding nonsensical local-level solar bans and fast-tracking permitting for community solar and agrivoltaics. The classic solar partner of <strong>sheep grazing </strong>remains predominant in U.S. agrivoltaics (sheep because cattle are heavy enough to break un-raised panels, goats chew wires, and sheep do neither), but many trials to find good arrangements for row crops are <a href="https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2026/05/19/agrivoltaics-solar-farming">underway</a>. Notably, solar arrays yield much higher property tax revenue than farmland, creating substantial benefits for the surrounding community as well as an independent revenue stream for the farmer. Family farmers are <a href="https://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2026/05/19/agrivoltaics-solar-farming">reporting </a>that solar development is directly helping them stay in business.</p><blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;We need more power sources, and we need clean power sources.

Recently, four <em>Republican </em>members of the U.S. House of Representatives <a href="https://www.utilitydive.com/news/republican-introduce-bill-renewable-tax-credits/818536/">introduced </a>the <strong>American Energy Dominance Act<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-1" href="#footnote-1" target="_self">1</a> </strong>to extend the 45Y production tax credit and 48E investment tax credit for clean energy, partially repealing some of OBBBA&#8217;s damage. 122 Democrats have also <a href="https://www.utilitydive.com/news/democratic-house-clean-energy-bill-casten-levin/815046/">introduced </a>the <strong>Energy Bills Relief Act</strong>, which would go much further in restoring the free growth of clean energy abundance. Congress should ideally pass both, and <a href="https://climateactapp.substack.com/p/your-daily-dose-of-climate-hope-may-5d0">also the permitting-focused FREEDOM Act</a> to cut away the red tape being weaponized by the White House to block clean power build-outs. </p><p>Whatever turns out to be politically possible in these insane times, all Senators and Representatives must prioritize reclaiming American participation in the clean energy revolution by any means necessary, restoring tax credits, streamlining permitting, and ending executive abuses.</p><h4><a

families. The 2026 Illinois POWER Act <a href="https://www.fastcompany.com/91524528/the-solution-to-americas-energy-crisis-starts-with-homes">requires </a>new data centers to help pay for their new renewable energy &#8212; including distributed home batteries for consumers &#8212; to ensure grid stability, and New York is mulling a similar bill. This is a great template to follow! State leaders should accelerate this win-win-win solution by removing permitting barriers, requiring new heavy grid loads to invest in distributed batteries, and establishing state-level information, grant, and incentive programs to spur adoption. </p><h4><a href="https://www.climateactionnow.com/daily-dose-actions/?action_source_id=29630">Tell your state leaders to support and incentivize home

The average new car in America now <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/average-price-car-us-you-could-buy-5-new-chinese-evs-2026-04-28/">costs </a>over <strong>$51,000</strong>, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/average-price-car-us-you-could-buy-5-new-chinese-evs-2026-04-28/">enough </a>to buy <em><strong>five</strong> </em>of the<em><strong> </strong></em><strong>BYD Seagull</strong> EVs which sell for <strong>$10,200</strong> each in China but are <a href="https://www.theargumentmag.com/p/why-democrats-and-republicans-want">banned </a>from U.S. markets. The plan in the early 2020s was to build up American EV and battery manufacturing with the <strong>45X</strong> tax credits, but the 2025 OBBBA budget tore that up. The executive branch is <a href="https://insideclimatenews.org/news/18052026/epa-loosens-automaker-air-pollution-rules/">blocking </a>federal and even state clean air regulations that would incentivize EV-making. And now, a highway funding bill in Congress is <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/cars/news/2026/05/18/ev-driver-fee-proposed-us-congress/90141085007/">pushing </a>a <strong>$135</strong> fee to be paid annually by all EV owners &#8212; unfairly punitive, as the average gas car driver in the U.S. pays <a href="https://advocacy.consumerreports.org/research/63555/">just </a>$70 to $90 in gas tax annually. The U.S. is now in the worst of both worlds on EVs: unable to buy China&#8217;s like the rest of the planet, and with zero or negative federal support to build up domestic U.S. EVs. </p><div class="embedded-post-wrap" data-attrs="{&quot;id&quot;:185919630,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/let-the-chinese-cars-in&quot;,&quot;publication_id&quot;:35345,&quot;publication_name&quot;:&quot;Noahpinion&quot;,&quot;publication_logo_url&quot;:&quot;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!l14h!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F04281755-2cd6-42e5-a496-e69153abebb2_281x281.png&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Let the Chinese cars in&quot;,&quot;truncated_body_text&quot;:&quot;It might come as a surprise that I&#8217;m writing a post advocating that the United States allow Chinese cars to be sold here.
