In this video he tells a tale of big businesses greenwashing and lying. Renewables don’t make enough profit!

2023-07-09 There Should Be No Tariffs On Solar Panels
There should be no tariffs on something that’s going to be saving the world from the damage caused by fossil fuels. There should not be any protectionism on foreign solar panels. China just set up factories in other southeast Asian countries and did an end run around the solar tariffs. They’ll just do more of

2023-07-01 China: Wind, Solar Growing Like Crazy, But Fossil Fuels, Too
As I said earlier, China already has 1000 GW of renewables and will soon have 1200 GW, approaching 30% of its total generation. That’s enormous – the whole US has 1300 GW generation total! The Chinese are building wind and solar as fast as they can, and are going to meet their promised goals even

2023-06-29 Less Than 99% Grid Availability: Utilities Must Change To Residential BESSes
This is my comment to this article. https://cleantechnica.com/2023/06/28/solar-will-reach-dominance-as-cheapest-source-of-electricity-in-world-dnv/ What the utilities failed to consider is the extremes in the variability of renewables. The utilities are unwilling to build a sizeable reserve into the system. They refuse to overbuild by a factor of 3 to 6 times, so that the valleys in the supply will be

2023-06-17 Noise From Solar Farm Has Neighbors Upset
The noise apparently is a whine coming from the inverters. I’ve been working near VFDs – variable frequency drives – and the constant whine is annoying. In this case the whine is legally within acceptable limits. Neighbor dispute risks souring a Connecticut community on solar energy
2023-06-08 70 – 100% Renewable Energy – List of Articles
This article gives a list of articles, studies of renewable energy. 70%, 80%, 99.9%, 100% Renewables — Study Central
2022-06-16 Nanogrid Uses Hydrogen Storage
I really like this all-in-one solar plus storage system which has both batteries and green hydrogen generation, storage and fuel cells. It’s expensive but everything is integrated into one package. https://electrek.co/2022/06/16/check-out-this-solar-green-hydrogen-mobile-nanogrid-with-a-level-2-ev-charger/
2022-06-14 Calif Reached 100% Renewable Electricity
Originally an EarthDay.org article. They made 3 points. They said, <<California must still rely on fossil fuels to meet its energy demands.>> The peak energy demands can be reduced by using a ‘smart grid’ where the grid has some control over the heavier demands. One example is residential HVAC and hot water. These can be
