Yes, the "National Energy Dominance Council" is dumb and just...silly.

Look at this massive parking lot in China, all covered in solar and equipped with EV chargers. Utterly dwarfing anything like it in the US or Europe, AFAIK. https://english.news.cn/20250918/85aadb481c4646d79ec31f4c67653f1a/c.html

As an example of why I say CSP isn't dead, one of the innovations we discuss in @TransitionShow Ep. 249 is this amazing little module from RayGen. It's 4 inches square and produces 2.5 kW of electricity AND 5 kW of thermal energy in the form of hot water at […]

A canonical example of the "mid-transition" challenges (see @TransitionShow Ep. 185) is how to phase out gas grids.
In this talk, @janrosenow gives you the playbook. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zcd3RQ25uA
