The EIA breaks this article into the 3 interconnections: Eastern, Western, and Texas. Quote: “”On July 27, 2023, peak hourly electricity demand in the continental United States reached 741,815 megawatt-hours (MWh). This peak was the second highest since we began collecting this data in 2016, just under the all-time high of 742,704 MWh recorded on

That’s what I was saying to the guys at our computer Club meeting today. The cities and educational institutions should be putting canopies covered with solar panels over their parking spaces, and solar panels on their roofs. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/03/parking-lots-becoming-as-important-as-cars-in-climate-change-efforts.html
It’s mandatory that the world stops using gas guzzling fossil fueled vehicles and convert to EVs. Immediately! https://youtube.com/shorts/xu4J098pah4?si=VklIUXljbm6SMBAO

Wow! 90 Megapascals is 888 atmospheres or 13,000 PSI. And this pump puts out 160 kilograms of LH2 per hour. That’s a lot of liquid hydrogen! This is in Livermore, California. FirstElement Fuel and MHI Complete the Reliability Testing of Liquid Hydrogen Pump

Switzerland is rolling out solar panels between the rails of the train tracks. That’s a creative use of the otherwise unused space. But I wonder how they hook them up to the grid? Short YouTube video. https://youtube.com/shorts/HInTmC7SxJ8?si=qmFem2K1MFYebUxv
There apparently are millions of armchair experts who badmouth about all the dangers and impossibilities of making, storing and transporting hydrogen. They all say that H2 leaks like water through a sieve and that hydrogen causes containers to become brittle, as fragile as a clay pot. They are being ignored by the engineers who have

I definitely think that the vacant land is a good location to put solar panels. Another is to locate the panels on canopies that cover spaces in parking lots. One problem we had was vandals. There are electric gates along the bike trail and gates are run by a solar panel. The panels were on
