Document cars that I’ve had or still have and I’ve added in a documentary of the Tesla Giga-Texas factory site construction and hope to see this through to its completion if all goes well. My hope is that viewers will enjoy my videos, perhaps find them informative and entertaining.
From Joe Tegtmeyer. This was the day before the big “Lithium Day” Event that I was invited to, but will likely miss because I will be at Starship Flight 13 live streaming with Ellie in Space. I really am sad to miss the event, but I hope we get some additional information about it in…

From Joe Tegtmeyer. Making a fundamental change in a reactor’s primary fuel after the reactor design is "completed" is not a decision that is done lightly nor without some short-term challenges. AaloAtomics did just that & the implications of that tough decision may position this company for accelerated growth with lower costs paired with a…
