I’m hopeful that more of these green hydrogen electrolyzer systems are going to be installed. The hydrogen is accomplishing more than one thing. The electrolyzers are putting to good use the excess renewables power that would otherwise be wasted. The green hydrogen is, of course, being used to replace fossil fuels, and thus reducing CO2

This article (or video) has some good graphs for future distributed PV plus batteries.https://www.volts.wtf/p/rooftop-solar-and-home-batteries A map of generation sources in the US. https://mobile.twitter.com/VibrantCE/status/1338560961280618502/photo/1
This YouTube video by Tony Seba is stating that utility scale batteries of 2% disrupt 90% of fossil fuel peaker plants. This video has a lot of graphs showing the trends. https://youtu.be/AV3MweskE0w The amount of utility scale batteries needed to replace much of the peaker plants is just a small percentage. 200 mile range EVs

This YouTube video from Tony Seba of RethinkX shows the incredible cost reductions that have been and will be made to the cost of solar, wind plus battery storage. “SWB100” is his acronym for 100% solar, wind plus battery storage. Seba states that SWB100 will be so low, per kWh, that it costs less than

This was from Will Prowse’s YouTube channel. I would like to get some of these to run an air conditioner. https://store.santansolar.com/product/santan-solar-t-series-250w/?ref=errolprowse
This anti-solar PV article has some serious flaws. The commenter challenged me by asking “Do solar panels reflect heat?” I answered “No, solar panels do not reflect heat.” He then replied with this article. This article claims that solar farms cause a heat island that’s hotter than the surrounding area. If the land is bright

Article says the coal miners are finally admitting there needs to be change. Coal power plants are uneconomical and must be retired. https://electrek.co/2021/05/06/coal-is-losing-the-price-war-to-wind-and-solar-faster-than-anticipated/
From FB reply William Linn Buchanan Stop being a shill for the nuclear power industry. In the West the new nuclear power construction industry is no longer able to compete with renewables plus storage on a cost pre kWh basis. That’s what utilities use to make decisions on what to purchase for the grids. Utilities

This puts an end to the false claims that the solar panels use more energy to make than they produce. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/282206521_Comparison_between_the_Energy_Required_for_Production_of_PV_Module_and_the_Output_Energy_Througout_the_Product_Life_Time
This 43 minute YouTube video is about solving renewable energy storage. It is mostly in Dutch with English subtitles. This is a very innovative pilot plant that uses basalt rock to store high heat. After the 30 minute point they interview the guy who explains that the Siemens Gamesa system they developed can replace the
