2023-11-20 Will HVDC Across Oceans Be The Future?
Engineering with Rosie Barnes explains HVDC and underground and undersea cables. Including the Xlink from Morocco to the UK, Basslink Tasmania to Australia, and the longest, Australia to Singapore. She believes that all the continents will be linked. Says there are plans for undersea HVDC cables between the UK and Newfoundland. It’s a 13.5 min

2023-11-15 HYDROGEN – You Wouldn’t Be Alive Without It!
I constantly see the armchair BEV (battery electric vehicle) ‘experts’ badmouth hydrogen FCEVs. The hydrogen is 3X less efficient than BEVs, they claim. But the ICEVs (internal combustion engine vehicles) they’re now driving are less efficient than the hydrogen FCEVs! So why are these hypocrites complaining? Hydrogen has been *safely* generated, stored and transported in

2023-11-01 V2G Vehicle To Grid – Engineering With Rosie Australia
Things are different in Australia, but eventually the V2G will become common in America soon. Also VPP – virtual power plant, which combines many residential solar storage systems into a virtual power plant. This is being done right now in California. What is really heartbreaking is there has been so much badmouthing about EVs –

2023-10-31 Iron & Salt Batteries made by Inlyte Energy
Inlyte Energy acquired Beta Research which has patents and a pilot production line to already make iron salt batteries. They say “competitive densities” but I don’t think they’re anywhere near to Li-Ion cells. But they’re much lower cost. They call them ‘sodium metal halide’ batteries. Advancing iron and salt batteries with $8 million in seed

2023-10-28 Solar Panels, Lies From Big Oil & Fossil Fuel Industries
Yes, it’s all about money. New nuclear power plants are economically infeasible and the utilities won’t buy them. The new nuclear power plants have had multi-billion dollar cost overruns and decade long construction delays. New nuclear and thermal power plants require a huge amount of water for cooling and have to be located near a

2023-10-26 6 Of 9 Planetary Boundaries Have Been Breached
This chart shows the 9 Planetary Boundaries and how they have been breached. Some don’t look that alarming but *anything* past the green is bad. The Novel Entities is especially troubling. https://www.iasparliament.com/current-affairs/daily-news/breach-of-planetary-boundaries
2023-10-24 Renewables Article Full Of Lies & Hypocrisy!
Andreas Lindström This “realclearinvestigations” article is full of lies and hypocrisies. Quote from article:“”Hyped as technological marvels, EVs are boobytrapped with a host of inconveniences and tradeoffs. By now many people have heard about range anxiety, exploding lithium-ion batteries, and the environmental destruction caused by global mining for battery minerals.”” Last first. The amount of

2023-10-23 Long Duration Battery Energy Storage System – Tumbleweed Project
Almost every BESS – battery energy storage system – that I read about has a maximum storage of 4 hours. This Tumbleweed Project is a BESS but has 8 hours. I don’t see why the other BESSes are not capable of running at lower power for more than 8 hours. I have this suspicion that
