I'm reading The Power Broker and the thing I can't stop thinking about is how this could have been the norm in American cities. We could have built world-class transit. We could have made our cities walkable. We could have built for people, not cars. Instead we built highways.

Basically, in order to argue that China isn't way ahead of the rest of the world here, you have to argue that electrification is inefficient or a dead end. And that argument isn't looking good.

Over the last fifteen years I've seen the solar pessimists get spanked by reality over and over and over, and yet somehow they never quit.

Hyundai Motor Group's electric vehicle manufacturing 'Metaplant' in Georgia will drive >$12.6 billion in investments in the state & create about 50,000 new jobs. Apropos of nothing: the electoral margin in Georgia in 2020: 11,779 votes. 🤔 electrek.co/2024/06/17/hyu…

Tons of respect for Marty Odlin Kiddi and the whole team RunningTide, building something real. Businesses starting/ending is normal for every new industry, including CDR. It's tough, but hats off to those working on solutions. Hats on to the giggling bystanders.

Just took Model Y on a 3,605 mi road trip. Wanted to see what the worst case might look like for charging costs. 5 passengers total, fully loaded frunk and trunk, we drove as fast as conditions allowed and hit several rain storms, used heavy A/C, kids playing video games from the

There's a new all-time wind power production record in ERCOT with 27,849 megawatts, per Grid Status. Yesterday, renewables powered 40-50% of the grid all day even w/ a peak demand >76GW. And again, despite high demand, wholesale costs were low. #txlege #txenergy #energytwitter

NEW: SunZia is a roughly 550-mile power line linking wind farms in New Mexico to hungry electricity users in Arizona and California. It’s the largest clean energy project in America — and likely in the Americas. It almost didn’t get built. heatmap.news/economy/sunzia

12 Pictures of the Sun, each month of the year, same place.

At an American Nuclear Society conference, tech companies expressed willingness to pay a premium price for clean, reliable nuclear power, to power new data centers, but they are not willing to directly invest in nuclear construction projects. Article link in reply. In other

Coal dominated Europe's electricity mix over the 20th century, but it is quickly dying in many countries in the 21st. The chart shows the share of electricity that comes from coal for a range of countries in Western Europe. The data comes from @EmberClimate. Transitioning away

Don't look now, but "nature" nonprofits in Australia are running atomic fear ads straight out of bad 1950s sci-fi. In this one, a giant green-glowing echidna threatens a family wearing gasmasks as a coal power plant (??) with tall exhaust stacks looms over the fence line. No,

Where will we find the space to put all the solar panels? (This image contains about a GW of solar.)

TFW you've been underweight megacap tech since 2021

It's hot in Texas. Demand is high and one of the four nuclear units went down overnight. But renewables just broke an all-time record just shy of 37,946 megawatts to meet >50% of peak demand & could likely provide more but for a lack of transmission. #txlege #txenergy

There are so many new jobs and opportunities in Canadian energy. Workers want in. And they want a say as we build a more prosperous future. The Sustainable Jobs Act gives them seats at the table that they’ve long asked for. It just passed in the Senate. This is big.

The unknown is something we should all learn to live in. Embrace uncertainty
