Enhanced geothermal power is finally a reality
A decade ago, engineer Tim Latimer moved from oil & gas into geothermal power with a plan to apply the latest technologies from the former to the latter. This week, the company he co-founded, Fervo, announced that it will have a fully certified, commercially operational enhanced-geothermal power plant running later this month. I talked with Latimer about the milestone.
#EBikes use less lithium per passenger than #EBuses !!! And way less than #EVCars - love that #VoltsPodcast by far the #BestPodcastEver ππΌ
AmosLightninGreat episode of Volts about putting batteries in induction stoves. The principle is the same as with water towers. The water tower handles peak load in the morning when everyone's taking showers. Then they fill it back up the rest of the day and night with a much smaller and cheaper pump than they'd otherwise need to handle the peak load. #voltspodcast

Induction stoves with batteries built in, and why they matter
What's the big deal about an induction stove with a battery built in? That's a new product that's set to hit the market next year. I talk about it with one of the entrepreneurs behind it and a scientist at the Department of Energy who helped secur it funding.
