The U.S. Department of Energy on Monday announced $192 million in funding to expand battery recycling research and development, calling the investments “essential” to the advancement of a domestic supply chain of critical materials for the energy transition.
The U.S. lithium battery market could grow ten-fold by 2030, driven by the growing adoption of electric vehicles and a need for stationary energy storage, the agency said. President Joe Biden has set a goal for half of the new vehicle sales to be electric by 2030.
The recycling funding falls into three buckets: consumer electronics recycling, a new advanced battery R&D consortium, and the continuation of a lithium-ion battery recycling prize DOE launched in 2019.

I so miss “Succession,” the HBO drama about the insanely wealthy family with the sniveling, greedy kids and the completely amoral father. These were bad guys that you loved to hate. Oh, and what fantastic wealth porn. The only way the Roys traveled was on their private jet, expansive yacht or chauffeur-driven limo.
The affection TV viewers had for this totally worthless and filthy rich family likely provides at least one explanation for why Christie’s excoriation of Jared Kushner was our most popular Opinion piece this week. I mean this wasn’t a slight diss by our former governor, it was a full-on takedown of one of New Jersey’s wealthiest and most dastardly families.
Christie, never the one to mince words, makes it clear that Jared, in his mind, is corrupt. “The grift in this family is breathtaking. It’s breathtaking,” Christie says theatrically. “Jared Kushner and Ivanka Kushner walked out of the White House and two months later they get $2 billion from the Saudis?”
Columnist Tom Moran then lays out the filthy deeds committed by Charlie Kushner, Jared’s daddy. These are the completely amoral crimes that landed Charlie in prison courtesy of then-U.S. Attorney Christie.
Corrupt father, loving son who wants to be just like dad? Actually, the Kushners’ story might make a juicier tale for TV than the Roys or the Murdochs. And Christie’s narration would be scrumptious. But until HBO, or Max, buys the rights, you can check out this sordid story in Moran’s column.

A state agency has crafted what it touts as a first step toward the large-scale transformation of New Jersey’s buildings, a plan to reduce emissions from the state’s second-largest source of global-warming pollution.
Building decarbonization — electrifying homes and commercial buildings — is perhaps the most contested climate strategy yet proposed by the Murphy administration. But it is seen as essential if New Jersey is to break its reliance on fossil fuels and convert to a clean-energy economy.
The strawman proposal produced by the state Board of Public Utilities offers a phased approach that directs the state’s four electric utilities to offer an array of programs encouraging customers to switch from using fossil fuels for heating spaces and warming water to electric heat pumps — energy-efficient alternatives to furnaces and air conditioners.
The four electric utilities would spend a total of $150 million during the three-year program, which would begin in 2024.
