Ivanpah is concentrating solar with heliostats, right? Not flat plate photovoltaic cells which is 99.9% of solar electric energy.

All of the above, because it works at residential and commercial scale at the load with no line losses, and at utility scale utilizing the existing spoke and wheel grid model, and for cities we'll use the community solar model already

Because storage isn't tax credit incentivized, at least in the US. Coal still is. And FYI California will install 1.3GW of storage this year, and a storage tax credit is likely by end of this year. It's coming. Hopefully we find s

Have you moved on to accepting what will happen? I'm coming to terms with it. I had a long conversation about the thermodynamics of the situation with an oceologist and it set me straight on what will happen.. all I recall was her emph

The power plant operators do not agree, currently. the energy storage margin is thin and li-ion lifetime too short already... if you refer to grid scale. Look at the APS battery 'event' and the hazard to emergency response personn

That's a lame self serving joke, it's more like they are trolling the internet and news addicted.

If it's not a joke, it's a corporate branding error. If it is a joke, it's great PR.

Does anyone else think that Amazon news handle is doing damage to their brand? Silence seems like a better strategy. they must view this union vote as the beginning of the end.

Bitcoin as a flexible load has utility, the misappropriation of the word 'battery' does not.

You have motivated me to try it again... Switching the sim today. The hands free calling while driving is another feature to solve for. I'm going wired headset.. 2000 is back! =)

I tried a flip phone for a week but got tired of explaining to people why I didn't receive the picture they texted me, and I was carrying my no-SIM smartphone around for the audiobooks anyway. It does feel like taking the proverbial di

I have worked from home self employed since 2016. Prepandemic WFH was amazing. During the pandemic, it is bad and ruined the experience at this point, I doubt I will do it after, but I hope it is just my current impression because the benef
