The sheer energy. The beauty of this woman. The women hugging in the background. The man in rainbow parachute pants. This whole video is art.

“This month, Finland launched the world’s largest sand battery, enabling residents to remove oil from their district heating network and reduce emissions by nearly 70 percent, as reported by Euro News. If it continues to operate as efficiently and affordably as expected, sand batteries could become common worldwide. Developed by Finnish company Polar Night Energy, this battery uses excess clean electricity to heat sand to high temperatures, storing thermal energy that can later be released to heat homes and power local industries. This is not Finland’s first sand battery, but it is significantly larger. The facility in Pornainen is an insulated silo that stands 13 meters tall and 15 meters wide, containing 2,000 tonnes of crushed soapstone. The sand retains heat remarkably well, losing only 10 to 15 percent during storage and recovery, according to The Cool Down.”

Sand batteries are a significant advancement in clean energy technology.

Holy shit, this is incredible.

“This new facility can hold 100 MWh for about a month in summer and a week in winter.  That’s enough for the town of 5000 local residents.

TechCrunch estimates the Finnish battery’s costs are under $25 per kilowatt-hour, compared to around $115 for leading lithium-ion batteries.90% efficiency.It doesn’t use any “rare earths” or critical materials.  Instead using locally sourced, recyclable materials.Units are scalable and modular to fit different needs and uses.

Suits small towns (like the current facility) and large scale industrial uses.

13 meters tall and 15 meters wide. Independent of geography.  

No supply issues due to any geo-political problems.

Designed to store energy when it’s cheap and plentiful and supply when it’s expensive.“

HAVE YOU HEARD OF JIMOTHY AND WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSIONAL OPINION?

I’ve got a full length video about Jimothy if you search on my blog.

That being said, I wanna take a little more of a philosophical approach here.

Apparently Jimothy was born in 2025, so he’s about a year old. And I got a lot of questions in the comment section of my video on TikTok asking why his mama/siblings didn’t eat him or shun him and leave him to die.

And it’s because that isn’t how raccoons work. Jimothy has survived thus far because raccoon families are built on love and support and knowledge exchange.

People always say “raccoons are solitary creatures.” But they aren’t. Not really. Males use each other to stay warm in the winter (and keep each other entertained.) Females form close bonds with their children. Siblings teach each other new skills and games. In captivity, raccoons make their own family. For example, my own raccoons, Lammy and Moonshine, perfectly mimick the relationship between a daughter that should have left the nest by now, and a fed up mother that still loves her. Raccoons are so successful as a species because their families (blood related or otherwise) lift each other up. They share their knowledge with the ones they love and offer help when needed.

and ACCEPT help when needed.

Wink wink. Nudge nudge.
