An article from AP News about batteries. Knew it was a big deal in CA and TX. Know #ConEd is building some in substations. Using #Tesla #MegaPack and not #LiFEPO4. ConEd is supposed to be replacing polluting #peaker plants with batteries. Overall, very encouraging. Have to check the article for mentions of #Flow batteries. Long past time for #DDC to wake the fuck up.

Big batteries that send clean energy to the grid soar in 2024

2024 was another banner year for a source of electricity that is better for people’s lungs, better for climate change and may be reaching your home now when you turn on the lights or turn up the thermostat — large banks of batteries. Storing extra power in batteries effectively extends the hours of solar and wind power in a day. Storage is also important as global electricity demand rises. Last, it is important for increasingly frequent extreme weather events, worsened by climate change. Texas and California are embracing the benefits of batteries, but some other regions are dragging their feet.

Today I disobeyed the #Peaker mantra and went to my #PT session without having eaten breakfast. It wasn't pretty, but managed to struggle through the session! 🤦‍♀️

On the plus side, I'm getting stronger in my shoulder as I recover from #hydrodialatation a month ago for #FrozenShoulder!

My penalty is having to sit in the cafe eating a protein bar and drinking a ridiculously sugary coffee before I'm capable of walking to my car without keeling over ... Don't make the same mistake as me! 🤦‍♀️😅🤢

Good morning! Yesterday has been so hectic trying to figure out Mastodon i forgot to introduce myself. So hi there! I'm Hanca! You might already know me from Twitter or from my FB/IG account #ForeverSassenachs. I'm a huge #Outlander and #SamHeughan fan. Still working my way through #DianaGabaldon 's books. I'm from the Netherlands and reading them in both Dutch and English takes time. I'm also a #Peaker but due to physical issues not able to workout. See you here!
