The limited series also stars Mark Ruffalo and Hugh Laurie and debuts Nov. 2. “The Continental” debuts Sept. 22. SIGNS OF STRIKESThere are also programs coming to TV this fall that are obvious time-fillers to help round out primetime schedules. Fox has leaned in heavily to competition shows.

When General Motors began outlining plans in 2020 to fully switch to electric vehicles, it didn’t account for one critical factor: Many of the battery minerals needed to fulfill its plans were still in the ground. “I remember seeing a report from our raw-materials team at the time saying, ‘There is plenty of lithium out there. There is plenty of nickel’,” said Sham Kunjur , an industrial engineer now in charge of securing the raw materials for GM’s batteries. “We will buy them from the open market.”

☆ Energy Department Commits $3 Billion to Expand Rooftop Solar Access

Illustration: Preston Jessee/WSJThe Energy Department will guarantee up to $3 billion in debt securities issued to fund rooftop solar installations, hoping to expand access to renewable energy by making the deal a no-lose proposition for many investors. The backstop is part of the Biden administration’s green financing effort, which includes hundreds of billions of dollars in tax credits and loans for clean energy, climate tech startups and other green businesses.

☆ Lithium Prices Are Down, Cheaper Batteries and EVs Could Follow
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-04 | by ( Scott Patterson | Amrith Ramkumar | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

Lithium prices are reversing after a two-year tear, a potential boost for consumers and auto makers that got hit by rising battery costs last year. Prices for lithium are down more than 30% this year, ending the two-year run that pushed up the value of the key battery material by a factor of 12, according to Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. The drop takes prices back to more sustainable levels after their epic run, traders say.

☆ E-Bike Battery Fires Are Soaring, Especially in New York
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-06 | by ( Scott Patterson | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

The electric-bike craze, which took off during Covid-19 lockdowns, now has a dark side: uncontrollable and deadly fires from the lithium-ion batteries that power them. The number of blazes is rising rapidly, triggering warnings from fire officials. The fires appear to be concentrated in New York City, where the number of blazes more than doubled last year to 216, according to the New York City Fire Department. Fires from e-bikes and other so-called micromobility devices such as electric scooters have injured 40 people and killed two this year, the fire department said.

☆ Shift to Mined vs. Man-Made Graphite Raises Shortage Risk for EVs
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-25 | by ( Scott Patterson | Amrith Ramkumar | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

Rising demand for batteries is expected to fuel a shortage of graphite in the coming years. Mining companies are ramping up supplies of critical minerals for rechargeable batteries such as lithium, cobalt and nickel. Graphite, a key battery component, has largely been overlooked. Some of the world’s biggest auto and battery makers and the U.S. government are racing to secure graphite supplies amid looming signs of shortages of the mineral suitable for batteries. So far graphite prices haven’t reflected the tight supply.

WASHINGTON—President Biden commemorated the second anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot by giving medals to law-enforcement officers who protected lawmakers that day and election officials who resisted efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential contest. “What you did was truly consequential,” Mr. Biden said during an afternoon ceremony in the White House’s East Room.

WASHINGTON—President Biden plans to commemorate the second anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot by giving medals to law-enforcement officers who protected lawmakers that day and election officials who resisted efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential contest. Recipients are to include former Arizona House Speaker Russell “Rusty” Bowers , a Republican who lost his seat in an August primary after resisting pressure from President Donald Trump to hold a hearing in the state that could have led to changing election results. Mr. Biden also plans to posthumously recognize Brian Sicknick , a Capitol Police officer who died the day after the attack.

☆ Jan. 6 Focus Shifts to Justice Department as House Panel’s Work Ends
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-23 | by ( Scott Patterson | Sadie Gurman | ) www.wsj.com time to read: 1 min

The Justice Department had no comment on the Jan. 6 panel’s final report, but the 845-page document could provide a road map for aspects of its probe. WASHINGTON—With the publication late Thursday of the House’s Jan. 6 select committee’s final report and the panel disbanding, the spotlight returns to the Justice Department and its efforts to investigate and potentially prosecute allies of Donald Trump and the former president himself. Federal prosecutors’ separate sprawling probe is covering similar ground and, senior department officials say, is unlikely to be directly influenced by the report or other actions on Capitol Hill. But the 845-page document could provide a road map for aspects of the probe, including into Trump allies’ efforts to undo the 2020 results by sending false electoral certificates to Congress and the National Archives.

WASHINGTON—The Jan. 6 select committee released a transcript of oral testimony from former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson pointing to efforts by lawyers and others in former President Donald Trump’s orbit to urge her to protect Mr. Trump in her testimony before the committee. Ms. Hutchinson, an aide to Mr. Trump’s last White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows , had dismissed her first lawyer, Stefan Passantino, by the time she provided some of the most dramatic live testimony before the committee in June, when she said she was told that Mr. Trump wanted to be driven to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and wrestled for the steering wheel with the Secret Service when his order was refused.

WASHINGTON—The House’s Jan. 6 select committee released its final investigative report Thursday, a sprawling capstone of more than 800 pages to the panel’s 18-month probe into the violent attack on the Capitol by a mob of supporters of former President Donald Trump. The report covers the full sweep of the committee’s findings from its investigation of the attempt by Mr. Trump and his allies to reverse the 2020 election. It was released three days after the nine-member panel voted, at its final meeting, to refer the former president to the Justice Department for potential criminal charges.
