Nothing more to say her other than be conscious of the changes occuring. We are past the precipice. The prepper folks are starting to look smarter. SOURCE: West of the 100th meridian, population density declines and development is sparse, and farms are larger and...
Tesla’s 850,000 mile battery
If the cars being tracked in the below analysis were to degrade in a straight line from this chart, somewhere near 850,000 miles of driving is where the cars would hit 80% of the original mileage. I'm pretty sure I've not driven that many miles in the twenty years...
Tiny little beads bend light, increase solar cell absorption up to 20%
Even after reading the actual research paper, I still had a hard time understand exactly what is leading toward this increase in efficiency...a lot of big optics related words in here. The main reason I wanted to understand exactly how the light was being manipulated...
Global clean energy investment at $61.1 billion in 1Q 2018
Money. Jobs. Keeping the planet usable. Last year, globally, solar capacity investment was greater than coal, oil, gas and nuclear combined. This year we're not sure if investment amount will go up or down, but we do know the total capacity will go up (this 1st...
Massachusetts-Quebec clean electricity link up attempted again 1.2GW HVDC line
Quebec seemingly has a whole lot of extra hydroelectricity to sell. They're trying to figure out how to sell it. Massachusetts really wants some more clean electricity. The challenge with powerlines is that you gotta tell people what to do with their land often times...
20GW of new silicon manufacturing capacity – LONGi vs GCL Poly arms race
20GW of silicon manufacturing is not trivial. Global volume installed last year was ~98GW. Adding 20% of capacity is big. What's really interesting is that GCL-Poly and LONGi are ramping up some serious competition! And that is really exciting - because two companies...
