A wind turbine in the desert. Power travels 900 km to your home.

The SunZia project just went online: the largest renewable energy project in US history, with 3,650 MW of capacity — more than Hoover Dam. The secret is HVDC technology that's been around for 70 years but had never been deployed at this scale in the US.

🇺🇸 A federal judge in the US just brought back $82 million in #CleanEnergy grants after ruling they were wrongly canceled. That means projects that were shut down can get back to work, at least for now. 🚀

One energy source surely overlooked

If you would explore internet for a while, you surely seen people who get so angry about something that it easy to imagine them moaning from frustration, screaming from anger and pain, and so on. Yes, I am talking about thing named butthurt. From time to time I seen people across internet. Usually they are fans of dictatorship, such as ruzzian genocidal empire or some other dictatorship or some sort of fascism. They can experience so strong butthurt from e. g. ruzzian genocidal army losing […]

More nuclear. More renewables. More mining.
But never without free, prior, informed Indigenous consent. Always.

💧 TikTok says scientists built solar panels that generate electricity from rain, turning weather's biggest weakness into a "powerful advantage."

The science is real. The framing is not.

Rain-powered panels generate about 1/1000th the power of regular solar. No product exists. No prototype outside a lab. TRL 2-3 at best.

Real science, wildly overstated.

☀️ The SmartFlower is a solar panel that unfolds like a flower and tracks the sun all day. TikTok says it generates 40% more power than fixed panels.

The physics is real. The marketing is doing heavy lifting.

It costs 2-3x more per watt than traditional solar, covers only 37-60% of a home's energy needs, and has a 2-year warranty on the moving parts. Traditional rooftop solar with 25-year warranties is still the better bet for most people.

In this #heatwave I tried every cooling method and this one thing worked best.. stop burning #FossilFuels, move to #CleanEnergy and low our #CarbonFootprint

How? Remove the feckers that take the bribes from oil companies and end pay-to-play in government.

Seriously folks, what does it take to stop voting in corrupt politicians?

The first generating unit of the Shuangjiangkou Hydropower Station in Southwest China's Sichuan Province was connected to the power grid on Friday, marking the start of power generation at the world's highest dam and a major breakthrough for China in building ultra-high earth-rock dams above 300 meters.
