Eco-Friendly Battery Recycling: Harnessing the Power of Citric Acid

A simple, highly efficient, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly process could provide a viable pathway for the sustainable recycling of depleted lithium-ion batteries (LIBs): No chemicals beyond citric acid need to be added to leach out and separate over 99 % of the lithium, nickel, cobalt, and manganese metals contained in NCM batteries.

Foo Fighters Pledge Support to Kamala Harris Following Trump’s Use of ‘My Hero’

 

 

The Foo Fighters Will Contribute to Kamala Harris After Trump Used Their Song ‘My Hero’


The Foo Fighters are taking a stand.

 

A spokesperson for the band informed YSL News on Sunday that the Donald Trump campaign did not obtain permission to play their song “My Hero” at a rally on Friday in Glendale, Arizona, where Trump appeared with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The representative stated that had they been asked, permission would have been denied.

Furthermore, they mentioned that any royalties earned from the unauthorized use of the song would be donated to Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign.

YSL News has contacted the Trump campaign for a response. A representative from the campaign told The Independent, “We have a license to play the song.”

During the rally, the Foo Fighters’ song played as Trump introduced Kennedy, who announced that he was suspending his presidential campaign to support the Republican nominee. The song could be heard as Kennedy stepped onstage, waved to the audience, and greeted Trump.

 

When questioned on X if the band had authorized the use of their song, they responded with a clear “No.” Their verified account shared a screenshot of this response to emphasize their disapproval.

 

 

 

The Foo Fighters are not the only artists expressing their discontent with Trump’s campaign using their music. Recently, Celine Dion’s team stated that they did not approve the use of her iconic song “My Heart Will Go On” at a rally in Montana.

“This usage is not authorized, and Celine Dion does not support this or any related use And really, THAT song?” said a statement shared on her Instagram.

 

Additionally, in August, Isaac Hayes’s family threatened legal action against Trump for playing his song “Hold On, I’m Comin'” at various rallies.

 

Hayes’s son, Isaac Hayes III, criticized Trump, stating, “Donald Trump embodies a lack of integrity and class, both through his repeated unauthorized use of my father’s music and his history of sexual misconduct towards women and racist comments. This behavior will no longer be accepted, and we will act promptly to stop it.”

Foo Fighters founder Dave Grohl has previously expressed his disdain for Trump, remarking in a 2018 GQ interview that, “The thing about Trump that stings the most is this: He just seems like a massive jerk. Right?”
