@mliebreich.bsky.social there's a typo. The output should read "8.2 megawatts of electricity to the regional grid and 64 MW of district heating".

Trump: "They had restrictions on water. It comes down from heaven. You want to wash your hands, or like me, you wash your hair. I lather up. There's no water. I won't mention the 3rd item in the bc I always get criticized. If you don't know what I'm talking about you shouldn't be owning a McDonalds"

Converting a typical power line from AC to DC can increase its power capacity by 65% or more while reducing thermal losses. Food for thought as Republicans try to push deregulation of energy infrastructure on Democrats, who want more power transmission capacity to enable clean energy deployment.
Conversion of AC distribution lines into DC lines to upgrade transmission capacity
Nowadays it is difficult to find corridors for building new overhead lines in industrialized countries. In many cases it is simply impossible. For tha…

Congratulations to the Netherlands for showing authoritarianism the door!

A good day with our new Powerwall 3 battery. Charged from 16% to 100% SOC, powered the house 5 ton geothermal and topped up the car with excess solar, and now it's back feeding "the grid" aka our next-door neighbor. Zero power pulled from the grid today.

Others that differ from him.

It shows the international community realizes we are not getting the full truth: Ukraine does not "need" a bad peace deal and Russia is not "strong."

@cleaninguppod.bsky.social @simonmahan.bsky.social yet another waste of public money on Hydrogen.

Having politicians who utterly lack STEM training to the point where they don't even bother to ask simple questions does a huge disservice to their constituents.

I'm always super impressed how commentators in the USA are totally blind to the backlash worldwide against Elon Musk expressed by people not buying Teslas.

Oh, it's the Model Y ramp, they say.

Bollocks. Instead of giving Musk $27 billion, Tesla needs to get rid of Musk.

Oh, wonderful, rather than build out generating capacity with wind/solar and grid scale batteries producing clean, reliable, distributed power at a cost less than the fuel to burn once.
