#FunFactFriday: A New York-based designer has developed the Wind Fence, which is capable of quietly producing 2200kW of energy a year, and an array of units can be installed on fences, rooftops, and balconies. Would you be interested in these? News Source: https://interestingengineering.com/energy/vertical-turbine-airiva

Latest follow-up podcast is out! YouTube: https://youtu.be/h4BKiYFZjQY Audio version: https://share.transistor.fm/s/cb6132a9 Sean and I talk about Generative AI. It’s a little known topic, so maybe we’re the first place you’re hearing about it. Kidding aside.. should we be freaking out about OpenAI?

This is interesting, glad the price is coming down, let's hope the plants to de-CO2 run off of renewables so it is at least carbon neutral to remove CO2 from the air.

@mattferrell You seen this? I don't think it's an entire video's worth of discussion, but maybe a decent chunk of a larger discussion about gathering green from not-so-green.

#FunFactFriday: Research shows that installed solar and wind capacity is set to reach 31TW by 2050, achieved through production methods such as green hydrogen and offshore wind. Do you think we can achieve the battery storage capacity to match this? News Source: https://www.pv-tech.org/bnef-solar-and-wind-capacity-to-reach-31tw-in-2050/
