You're right, Earth will be very different 50 years from now, but it's a matter of degrees (literally). Here's a good rule of thumb[1]: * Pull up 25% fossil assets - 2°C - Costly, but livable * Pull up 33% fossil as

It's half accurate. The investment firm Lazard has a nice report[1] on comparing U.S. energy costs by source. Here's the costs in the U.S. (without counting subsidies): * Wind: $ 32/MWh * Solar: $

I work in cleantech, and it always seems weird how much fatalism I see in the comments sections of climate change threads on HN. Why are we so hopeless? Don't be! Be the entrepreneurs you say you are, because there's so much money

Oh man, can't wait for the docs. TLS 1.2 on an ESP8266 would make it possible to use them with AWS IoT.

I was under the impression that Hailstorms either have valid cell tower certificates (dunno if wireless carriers are complicit) or they exploit the vast quantity of modem firmware bugs. http://www.ee.columbia.edu/~roger&#x2F

Thanks! That was super refreshing to read. I really hope it becomes required for default WebRTC behavior.

You can get to approximately 50% penetration safely without storage[1], then you have to start adding factors that can deal with intermittent sources like wind and solar[2]. It doesn't have to be storage, either. You can used demand re

Well, from an engineering point of view, energetic cost of capture is one the inputs, not the end goal. Overall cost per unit capture is the end goal. So high energetic costs can be offset by low manufacturing costs if it results in a net o

I'm in a climate change startup, and here's how I look at it: 87% of the energy sources we use are fossil-based[1] and will need to be replaced with non-fossil alternatives in the next 30 years. That's trillions of dollars wo
