Data Centres don't necessarily need to have negative environmental impacts .. they can be made to use water and energy sustainability. This is just a matter of regulation. Extracti…

Not really. The fundamental costs and margin requirements in the system haven't changed. This is a government-mandated electricity plan (a default market offer) that competitive el…

Meanwhile SoftBank buys ABB’s robotics business .. https://group.softbank/en/news/press/20251008

A similar cultural statement to this X post, just with a higher price tag … https://x.com/energy/status/1950904421669318868?s=46&t=bC_eC...

It’s not 100% “instead”, but equally it’s not 0%. A grid with more distributed generation (and storage and load flexibility) can be smaller and cheaper.

The framing in the article is that Germany made a purely technical decarbonization policy choice between renewable energy and nuclear power and chose incorrectly, but this is too r…

Even China, who nuclear advocates point to as “getting it right” look like they realize this now .. https://johnmenadue.com/chinas-quiet-energy-revolution-the-s...

So how would you start phasing out plastic?

Dog whistling. The phrase "green energy transition" is mentioned only in the headline, and is completely irrelavent to the point being made in article, which is that unregulated mi…

Somehow? Wild guess, but maybe they will be selling the product of that R&D for more than 10 days.

Being overweight is unequivocally a bad thing. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41366-022-01165-5

Every power generation technology needs ‘backup capacity’ and energy storage. If your transmission line to your nuclear power station trips, you need reserve capacity elsewhere to …

I’ve seen one of these in a commercial building: https://www.yanmar.com/global/energy/ghp/vrf/ . But a renewable energy powered heat pump is better.

Although interestingly LAVO is 'pivoting' .. https://www.pv-magazine-australia.com/2023/11/02/lavo-pivots...

That’s a complete myth and just more of the same ‘concern trolling’ on renewables that is hampering decarbonization

No one is powering a house with a battery, or hydrogen, for 100 hours. Neither are an energy source. We will power houses with low cost carbon-free energy: nuclear and renewables. …

Hydrogen is expensive to produce, store and transport. We only see Hydrogen vehicles like this because of Government grants .. we only see Hydrogen fueling stations because of Gove…

Extra steps? Not sure about that. Solar farms are definitely much, much simpler .. thousands or even millions of perfectly uniform panels manufactured in a factory, some wiring and…

“The amount of raw materials in one long-range battery electric vehicle could instead be used to make 6 plug-in hybrid electric vehicles or 90 hybrid electric vehicles. For the sam…
