2021-11-09 Wind Turbine With Storage – BEST
In this video he talks about using BEST – buoyancy energy storage technology – for storage – the buoyancy of a container in a body of water. This is sort of the opposite of the pumped hydro storage. A 12 minute video. https://youtu.be/EoBPayAyCu0 What I propose is to use a similar system as a part

2021-11-09 Felling Burned Out Wind Turbine
Controlled Demolition fells a ‘thermally damaged’ 2.4 MW wind turbine in Texas. Video is 2.5 minutes April 2021. Texas has 30 plus gigawatts of wind turbines. https://youtu.be/N3lxm-l5SSY
2021-11-07 Wood Gasifier Runs Generator
This 17 minute video shows a homemade wood gasifier that puts out enough gas to run a small generator. This is his second version with some improvements. The gasifier can use wood chips, sawdust, leaves, paper, etc., but he is using wood pellets which are already dry. The gasifier produces syngas when wood is pyrolyzed

2021-11-05 Solar Panel Life Cycle Assessment
This 8 minute DW video talks about solar panel life cycle assessment. https://youtu.be/EWV4e453y8Y In the E.U. Recycling is compulsory. New processes to recycle panels.
2021-10-24 The Role Of Antitrust Law In Energy Democracy
This 1 hour podcast discusses lawsuits, antitrust against SRP – Salt River Project, among others. This was originally by Solar Cities which was bought by Tesla. Tesla and SRP settled out of court, so sadly the court never got to make a legal decision. This has to do with an electric utility making it difficult

2021-10-19 Renewables Leading Source US Electricity By 2030 – EIA
According to the EIA, renewables will be the leading source of US electricity by 2030. The EIA says 42%, but they have been too conservative in their estimates in the past. We (the whole world) must be much farther away from fossil fuels by 2030, especially coal. Coal power plants must be gone as soon

2021-10-17 Solar Floats For Floating PV
I was thinking about a design for floats to assemble together to make a floating solar PV array. These floats would be connected together to make a long carrier for multiple PV panels. The floats would have a channel to carry cabling and cable splices. There would be holes to loop ropes through to tie
