Today, DOE renamed the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), one of the crown jewels of U.S. science and engineering for renewable energy, the National Laboratory of the Rockies (NLR). We should be reinvesting in our world-leading national labs not renaming them. www.nrel.gov/news/detail/...

TAE says breakthrough means commercial fusion power plant will be available in the "early 2030s."

My skepticism about fusion remains but lessens.

Bears watching.

More ways to displace fossil fuels the better.

Here's Mr. #Elektrotrucker himself in Italy trying the #HYC1000!

I'm extremely curious to see his video Sunday - since I have yet to visit HYC1000 in real-life (still none in NL)

Other drivers reported some issues from 🇸🇪, so that makes me extra intrigued

Tune in this weekend⚡️

Mazama Energy just hit 331 degree C geothermal temperatures in Oregon. They are hoping to hit 400C so they can get 25 MW from each well pair. More permitting reform needed in this space to really speed it up.
