The fact that the grid is not a “copper plate” is one of the biggest reasons for distributed solar and storage

If you exclude the biggest nuclear reactor in our solar system, fission is way better than fusion.

Join us at #HECW24 for an executive education led by experts shaping the future of the Grid Edge. From VPPs to DER tech, dynamic pricing, and smart grid challenges—learn from the trailblazers of energy innovation. Featuring @jessepeltan, Arushi Sharma Frank and J.T. Thompson. Walk away

If we do option 3 we don’t have to worry about 1 or 2.

It is crazy to me that small planes still use leaded gas.

Why don't they use solar power to make solar panels? They do. Most of the energy required to make solar panels comes in the form of electricity. That electricity is increasingly coming from solar. This cell and module facility generates as much electricity from its rooftop as

Why are solar capacity factors typically around 25%? Earth is a sphere. Its surface area is 4x the cross sectional area of the sunlight hitting it. On average, a spot on that sphere is exposed to 1/4 of the sunlight that a spot directly facing the Sun is. A spot near the

Carbon free energy is code for Type 1 energy. All of the technologies that can increase humanity's energy supply by orders of magnitude are carbon free. Decarbonized industry is code for Type 1 industry -industry powered by planetary scale energy sources. The entire point of

I see a lot of people calling to ban wind turbines to save the eagles. Funny how they don’t seem to be that concerned about lead hunting ammunition, above ground distribution lines, removing roadkill from highways, or poaching.

Sometimes, infill construction can make a neighborhood look MORE like itself. #architecture #traditional #design #infill #incrementaldevelopment

At $0.095/W and 400W panels, that's $38/panel. Panels are 20 sq ft, so under $2/sq ft. Cheaper than many building materials: tile, wood flooring, windows, roofing shingles, dimensional lumber. I have been anti-BIPV for yrs. Now I say - just build everything out of solar panels.

Vertical space is the most wasted resource in cities. You can have more people and more space per person and you literally just have to build up. 1 story -> 2 stories - twice as much space. 3 stories - 3x as much space. I cannot comprehend how people can be opposed to this.

SMRs are on track to pass conventional nuclear in ~3 years.
