Congress can remove a justice with a majority vote in the house and a 2/3 supermajority in the Senate. This means you can't actually remove a judge unless they lose support from within their own party, and the Republicans have shown that they wont go along with removal no matter what.
This means that in practice, the path forward is to add additional judges, so that the Republicans are a minority, and unable to do any damage.

No. What they are doing is gerrymandering districts and making it harder for people to vote
Yeah, people who eat a poisonous Amanita take a few days to die of liver failure and their accounts pretty uniformly describe the deadly ones as tasty.
They're mostly not set up as a backup system, but to time-shift wind and solar so that it isnt necessary to use more expensive fossil fuel generation. For example, here is what utility-scale battery use looked like on Dec 5 in California
Not really; there are real reasons people don't want large-scale storage near populated areas, and it's more expensive than avoiding the need for long-duration storage, and burning it (if you don't store the oxygen, which raises costs even more) produces lung-damage nitrogen oxides. So there's a lot of reasons to minimize the need for hydrogen as much as possible.
Depends a lot on where. Places with a lot of both wind and solar need a lot less than those with only one, or with big seasonal heating needs. Way more to say about this than can fit in a comment
You do need some amount of long-duration storage, with the amount depending on how generation diversity and how much clean firm generation you have, but we are still in the early stages of it.
People are going with batteries and demand-shifting first because they're more cost-effective when it comes to dealing with a few hours of storage. Hydrogen storage is mostly a contender for longer-durarion storage
What's new is the closed-loop horizontal drilling in places where geothermal was not possible before
That "or" is fairly surprising to me; its fairly easy to use waste heat from electric generation for district heat. Id expect some modest reduction, but not a total trade-off
They're apparently allowed to create an "administrative" warrant which doesn't get signed by a judge and which people don't need to honor by opening their door. But almost nobody knows the difference between that and a judicial warrant, so they abuse them to the max.
The decision has nothing to do with their stated reasons; they are in favor of racism, but don't want to say so
New nuclear is a fairly expensive way to generate electricity and site-constrained by cooling water needs. I don't expect that much to be built.
Wind and solar are however quite cheap. Be just fine to have spot instances in your datacenter. And yes, home users should not be subsidizing big companies.
Her other ideas, like taking wildfire risk reduction out of the electric bill and putting it into billionaires income tax are also really good ones
This was classically true, but the fact that it's a fleet vehicle economy standard means you can have something inefficient, and sell it in the other states, while selling EVs in California. So you're doing two different vehicle models for different parts of the country, but achieving the required efficiency standard.
