Nothing to see here; just a new squiggle higher than all the other squiggles. It broke from the pack in mid 2023 and has not relented.

#earthday we celebrated 10 yrs of 10kW #rooftop #solar in #colorado . 2 yrs later, we were fully #electric (car, heat, cook). We have produced 125 MWh of #renewables . LCOE has been $115 / MWh. Assuming no uplift in property value. Will drop more as no cost now. Over gen abt 10%.

Yes, had this exact discussion a few years back with Niall Mac Dowell and Paul Fennell (Aspen and Italy, 2016 & 2018, respectively). Make #wind #energy negative emissions! Also Steven J. Davis has great paper on the carbon absorption piece. #energy twitter

Best photograph I’ve seen of the #Solareclipe2024 so far. From NASA

Yep, this is cool! 😎

Yeah, I’m sure it’s the BTM solar increasing net load as the eclipse progresses. For those who don’t study these things…

😂

My solar panels let me know the #Eclipse2024 was happening!

Very predictable smooth ramps. Prediction times are in the millennia. Only issue is #clouds . As is the case for all of #solar . So these can be planned for like everything else!

15/ for example, in a study w Dr Christopher T M Clack, PhD + GridLab, we found the Southeast has excess reserves if they would optimize as a region. Adopting a SE wholesale market saved more than 10 billion annually, with reserve sharing being the main benefit. gridlab.org/southeast-rto/

At the IRS today for the public hearing on 45V rules. Extremely strong start from
Air Products
- as Eric Guter says: if we are already building three pillar compliant products then so can everyone else!

Best way to chill after a heavy coding week! #optimization #climatechange #scuc #sced #lp #weather #highresolution

First day of spring! I survived the terminator!

From NOAA National Weather Service:

Today is the official start of Spring: the Spring/Vernal Equinox! 11:06 PM Eastern tonight will mark the time when the day-to-night line, called the terminator, intersects both of the Earth’s poles and the Sun is directly over the equator. #SpringEquinox
