Interestingly, energy use actually declined during the first year of the pandemic (I know for sure in the US, and probably globally). You can see it here for Texas, https://findenergy.com/tx/#overview , in the annual p

We have pretty thorough reviews of other popular batteries in this space ( https://findenergy.com/solar/battery-storage/#most-popular-b... ), in case anyone wants to compare.

Built this little tool as a weekend project and was pleasantly surprised that it lived up to the name (only took a weekend). Planning on keeping it free for the current core functionality and adding a paid sub level for ease-of-life feature

I think it isn't the consensus anymore because there isn't actually a "correct" solution. It's too subject to personal preference. For example, I prefer having HTML + CSS + JS all in the same file because then I kno

I decided to look into this, because the data is often a bit off, but not by this much. It turns out there was an error in the calculations. For some providers, we extrapolate the values based on historical data, and in this case, it was be

I like making obscure data visible and easy to digest, so I'll add this to my backlog of potential projects.

Data comes from the EIA. They release company revenues ($), sales (kWh), and # of customers for residential. We calculate the rate as revenues / sales (and correcting for units). It's a bit more nuanced than that, like we sum up a

We're currently working on including the lobbying costs of each provider on our website ( https://findenergy.com ), because we believe consumers should be aware of what providers are spending their money on. We've also b

In regards to plant data, https://findenergy.com/power-plants/ is pretty interesting source, although it's not in real time. We ended up using EPA recommendations for emission coefficients ( https://www.

Yeah so in this case I'm using the client code, which is safely stored in the worker.

"In that case you could create a backend endpoint that accepts a request and makes the call with the API key on behalf of the client/front-end" This is what is happening, except instead of a backend endpoint hosted on my own

"not the client key for the OAuth service" OAuth uses a client key and/or a client secret, for the application that is requesting access on behalf of the client.

Not quite sure why my other comment got flagged, it was a genuine question. If they had, and they still suggested this, I would inquire how that would be possible. It appeared to me that they had just read the title of the article and sugge
