WATCH: Two tourists were filmed illegally walking along the edge of Yellowstone’s Grand Prismatic Spring after leaving the designated boardwalk, violating National Park Service rules.

Today, many people at Grand Prismatic Spring kept coming up to ask me how I had internet out here. And I’d tell them all you had to do was point the Starlink Mini into the sky… that’s literally it. In just a couple of minutes, I had high-speed internet in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by one of the most beautiful places on Earth. I never travel anywhere without it. The fact that I can stand in a place as remote and beautiful like this and still have fast, reliable internet beamed down to me from space genuinely makes me happy about the future. Starlink ftw.

GOOD NEWS 🇺🇸 Tesla Energy’s domestic battery supply chain in the US is set for a massive boost 🔥 A report from The Elec confirmed that Samsung SDI is reviving its Synergy Cells project in Indiana as a wholly owned site, completely pivoting away from EV cells to go all-in on large-format LFP batteries for stationary energy storage. The plant is slated to launch in the second half of 2028, with talks already underway to pull production forward by a quarter, delivering over 10 gigawatt-hours per line with Tesla lined up as the prime customer. This creates a formidable dual-factory pipeline in Indiana dedicated to feeding Tesla's storage ramp. Synergy Cells will join StarPlus Energy (SPE) Plant 1 in Kokomo, where line two of three converted LFP lines is scheduled to begin rolling out large-format prismatic ESS cells specifically for Tesla in the first half of next year. The scale here is substantial: converting SPE Plant 1 to LFP pushes total site capacity from 33 gigawatt-hours to around 40 gigawatt-hours. Samsung SDI is funding this multi-trillion-won expansion partly through the 4.45 trillion won sale of its Samsung Display stake, anchoring a massive capital expenditure push of roughly 4 trillion won next year to lock down American grid-scale demand.

"Wonder is an essential survival skill." We walk past nature without giving it a second thought. Robert Macfarlane reminds us of the wonder behind a rainbow: "When you see a rainbow, you still stop. That's wonder. Rainbows are the charismatic megafauna of wonder. They do it often and well." "The other thing about a rainbow is it's utterly bespoke. It was no one else's rainbow, because it's a prismatic function: the water is lensing light and separating light into its constituent wavelengths. If you'd stepped a yard to the right and become a different person, you'd have seen a different rainbow. That's wondrous." "And science finesses the real into wonder. Science doesn't mean unweaving the rainbow. It can help us continue to be astonished by the world, just understand a little bit better how it works." "I don't see science and wonder as opposed."
