Every $ invested in #CommunityEnergy will return 100x more than any money invested in (so-called) #CleanEnergy (#Nuclear - #GeoThermal - #Hydro - #BioMass - etc.) and will actually #Decarbonize #AtScale while doing so.
It's time for #DOE and its #IRA largesse to be laser focused on real impact and not political payback or nest feathering.
End the #CleanEnergyGrift and focus on the prize.

What??
Isn’t community energy just the ownership model for power generation, and can’t it include clean energy, including the types you mentioned?
No, I would say not.
#CommunityEnergy are schemes where Communities use #RenewableEnergy sources (including #BESS and #Distribution) to serve the needs of small-large communities who have no options other than Large Utilities (#Carbon-driven) for their #Electricity (and #heating). All of them eschew so-called #CleanEnergy and know it for the #grift that it is. It's #Solar, #Wind and #Ocean for these folks (or nothing) from what I have seen.
Well, I can't say I understand why you think #nuclear #hydro #geothermal and #biomass are grift, nor why community energy can't use them. I know of several small neighborhood projects using geothermal, biomass, and hydro today, and it is both not grift, and in fact clean. I'd agree though that nuclear is largely out of reach for community projects. To de-carbonize, we're going to have to use all options.
