Very cool: Rivian sends old batteries to Redwood, who hooks them all up via its special sauce, and now the batteries are helping power a Rivian manufacturing plant! Closed loop starting to come into sight ...

Rivian and Redwood announce energy storage partnership

Rivian and Redwood Materials are deploying the first repurposed EV battery storage system at a U.S. auto plant, delivering 10 MWh of second-life capacity at Rivian's Normal, IL facility.

Spain is crushing it ⚡🇪🇸 Solar is delivering the equivalent of 27 nuclear plants during the day. Pumped hydro stores ~3 nuclear plants worth. Batteries already stepping in. This isn’t a generation problem anymore. It’s storage scale. Energy scarcity → energy timing. #BESS #Solar

#Arrowtown Beech Party this Sunday morning! Come and help plant 3,000 beech seedlings in the hills behind Arrowtown, from 9:30 on.

Holes are dug for you, free beverage and BBQ afterwards (and lollies for the kids).

Please boost!

Global renewable power capacity crossed the 5 TW (that's 5,000,000,000,000 Watts) mark last year!
It grew by 15.5 % within one year, driven by solar PV and wind.

I have this great idea for a new AI chatbot product, but with a twist: you don't have to prompt it.

And it gives, like, this really thorough, well-researched answer. And it's instant! As soon as you open it, the entire text is already generated, along with any figures or illustrations that are needed.

And to avoid hallucinations, all responses will have been compiled by human experts.

I call it a "book."

Surely if #nzlabour responded to fossil fuel volatility by committing to taking our electrical grid to 100% renewable with a plan to scale it to fulfil all our future internal energy needs they’d run away with the election? #nzpolv
