this is incredible stuff. most state DOTs would spend tens of billions on highway expansions to try and see numbers like this (that wouldn’t even pan out anyway thanks to induced demand lol)

A lot of people still don’t realize that dramatic cost reductions in geothermal is something happening *right now*, not theoretically in the future.
Here is a look at the cost numbers published by NREL every year for Deep Enhanced Geothermal. A 50% improvement in 2024 with a lot more to come.

Recently took a couple volunteer shifts at ‘Free Bikes 4 Kidz’ in Detroit.
Awesome organization cleaning and restoring thousands of bikes for new homes. They make it super easy to show up and help out. Can’t recommend it enough.

It’s of no political moment, but it still rankles me that the case in chief against Biden is essentially that he prioritized full employment post-pandemic, and despite low joblessness, inflation, gas prices, and border crossings headed into election day, his record is still dubious because of vibes.

Question for 🔌💡 why does California import ~1/3 of its electricity and run its gas fleet at 25% capacity.
Are CA emission prices high enough to reduce local gas dispatch in favor of imports?
Any good analysis out there on gas capacity factors in CA?

I often think about how Haber–Bosch, which is used to make nitrogen fertilizer (ammonia) from atmospheric nitrogen, uses 1% of the world's energy; a crazy amount for one process.
But Shell's scenario for the year 2100 has direct air capture (DAC) using 13%(!) of the world’s energy.
