It's great that this rig is coming out but the gap in the market right now is for a 100W portable/mobile, not another QRP rig qrper.com/2024/08/the-ya…

Wow, best explanation with cool animations of how a grid-tied, net meetering, and off-grid with battery-backup solar system works! youtu.be/UJeSWbR6W04?fe…

More views from today's historic SpaceX IFT-5. All the targets were 💯. These are Mechazilla's chopsticks catching the SuperHeavy booster at the first test. x.com/i/status/18454…

This is great news!! Finally, the Canadian electrical code has been updated to be able to install Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries in our homes for energy storage, like they've been doing in the UK, US, and many other countries around the world. #PEI saltwire.com/prince-edward-…

Great video from CBC, with beautiful aerial shots of #PEI. I've been to most of these places either playing tourist or doing POTA. Amazing research being done by UPEI Climate Lab. Worth a watch! youtu.be/zmn5xB7Cnbs?fe…

The science of global warming beautifully and simply explained by Dr. Carl Sagan, ca. 1985.

I'm a big proponent of Project Based Learning and Renewable Energy. Having maker spaces, plus solar panels, and geothermal, is simply fantastic! Way to go PEI. #PBL #Renewables #PEI ctvnews.ca/atlantic/princ…

How a 1,200-person village in Senegal traded diesel generators for solar power flip.it/_ae39K

Lots of visitors at Point Prim even at the top of the lighthouse. Couple of HF antennas and 40+ contacts.

Yeah, I can see a clear path for a not-so-distant future with self-driving cars and humanoid robots, and now understanding the utility of AI and how much power and compute it needs, I'm starting to consider as well... Solar powered AI satellites That's just wild.

In case you missed it we had the world premiere of our new ARISS Pre-Contact video today featuring Nichole “Vapor” Ayers, KJ5GWI! You can help support ARISS's STEM education mission through a Giving Tuesday donation. Visit ariss.org/annual-fund.ht… to make your donation.

For years, authorities have predicted gas power stations would remain necessary to back up renewables. But increasingly, this work is being done instead by large-scale batteries. Grid batteries have rapidly moved from a supporting role to prime time. theconversation.com/big-batteries-…

Turning cheap daytime solar into electricity you can actually use at night just got a lot cheaper. Battery storage hits $65/MWh – a tipping point for wind and solar. flip.it/-dAkTo

They thought they were just producing energy… but the solar panels awakened the deser. Futura-Sciences share.google/wSFq3uowQ0KG5U…

Around 1,200 households on #PEI without power this evening, some have been without power for 2 hours and counting. Current temperature is -15°C.

"We need battery energy storage systems (BESS). Maritime Electric claims renewable energy can’t stabilize the grid... Yet modern “grid-forming” batteries can stabilize voltage and frequency just like a gas plant." PEI needs innovation... saltwire.com/prince-edward-…

Extreme cold in Atlantic Canada, currently windchill of -26°C and 3,800 households without power on P.E.I., plus snow storm forecasted for tomorrow.

Grid scale batteries are being installed by utilities around the world, but on P.E.I, the local utility is pushing to waste $300+ million on dirty diesel turbines. Batteries are now cheaper, respond faster, & provide further savings by avoiding fuel costs. actionnetwork.org/forms/sick-of-…
