If we can transform excess solar-power into hydrogen or methanol at the building or neighborhood level, we avoid overloading the electrical grid by storing the sun locally, without adding CO2 to our atmosphere or building expensive gird battery systems. The tech needs to be shrunk and made rugged. But then there could be a shed on the corner where fuel is created and used locally.

Brilliant article on the challenges facing transition to renewables, and why its unlikely

"while the cost of renewable power is now lower than that of fossil fuels, renewables are not a profitable business. The particularities of the .. market structure are the causal factors here... Making sure that capital gets its pound of flesh has crippled the country."

Hi 😀​ da mein auf allen rechnern individualisiert / optimiert wunderbar aber dadurch langweilig, seit jahren funktioniert...
habe ich einen blick auf das thema geworfen.

da ich kein sporttreibender selbstopimierer bin, war hauptsächlich der technische aspekt interessant.
bisher erschien mir die laufzeit der uhren zu gering.

nun bin ich aber durch zufall auf die gestossen. die prognostizierte laufzeit beeindruckte.
auch die ein und andere gesundheits funktion war auch interessant. und sollte ohne app funktonieren.
kurzerhand gekauft 😀​

nach tagen der konfiguration / anpassung / optimierung direkt auf der uhr oder per ,
suchte ich mir per garmin -Shop ein für mich ansprechendes () das ich mit den für
mich relevanten daten bestückte..
alles fein :-)
nun kommts.... ich habe in meinem profil
"was nur per App oder Cloud funktioniert, gehört dir nicht" stehen.
die Uhr schien mir mit den wichtigen funktonen, ohne und garmin anbindung zu funktionieren.

da ich zuhause meine deaktiviere und nachts das wlan auf dem mobil abschalte, (alles automatisch per App)
erwachte ich morgens.... ohne mein neues ziffernblatt...
die uhr erwartet eine datenanbindung an den IQ-Shop. davon war in keinem beitrag in irgend einer form die rede.
für ein kostenloses addon?
nee !
das ist einfach nur schlecht gemacht.

In a shining example of turning swords into plowshares, the U.S. government wants to transform old nuclear bomb testing grounds into clean energy powerhouses.

The Department of Energy and National Nuclear Security Administration are offering up land where nuclear weapons were tested for decades — and solar developers are lining up for a chance to build renewable energy projects on these sites.

Cleanup to Clean Energy aims to make productive use of contaminated lands.

Finally, an actual good idea about use of the former Nevada Test Site (now#NNSS).

-Cover the heavily irradiated landscape with solar panels. Allow the unusable soil to be covered with renewable energy production.

Solar power realization: I should charge the plug-in car during sunny days. In the past it was programmed to happen overnight, hoping for a lower electricity rate. But, if there's power coming from panels, it’s much better to just have that go straight into the car rather than expect “selling" it to power company and using it later will be cheaper.

Buying and installing Panels in is almost 50% cheaper compared to the

Even factoring in the currency, inflation,& excluding labour/installation costs in UK

With NO state credits or supports or financing

Having seen both, I can safely say alone has more solar installations than all of

No kidding when people question why is UK a "developed" country...

Yesterday I let my bot manage the inverter charging and discharging for the entire day. It did quite well! Our entire electricity demand was met for less than zero cost with solar and automated load shifting on the Octopus Agile tariff.
