Comment on Tesla small shareholders The amount of hydrogen needed to power anything doesn’t matter. The renewables are intermittent so the solar and wind rated capacity has to be 3 to 4 times the peak load. Thus there is going to be too much renewables electricity for much of the time. At the present, that

California’s Solar market is a battery market. Interesting article. It says that battery storage is to be used as long term storage. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2022/03/14/californias-solar-market-is-now-a-battery-market/
This important article by a ‘guest contributor’ gives some very good links to information. The court has allowed Hawaii to go ahead to the discovery, where oil companies will have to reveal internal documents regarding fossil fuels causing climate change.

Short answer: YES. He didn’t address the decrease in production, transportation and distribution of fossil fuels which will decrease the load on the grid. This could compensate for a substantial amount of the increase from EVs. https://youtu.be/7dfyG6FXsUU
Solar parks could help to increase rainfall in Saudi Peninsula. This is interesting – the darker solar arrays change the albedo or sunlight reflectivity. Maybe they’ll have to turn the solar parks into agrivoltaics and plant crops under the solar arrays. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2022/03/08/solar-parks-could-help-to-increase-rainfall-in-arid-regions/
This submersible modular raft for floating photovoltaics reduces the damage that could be caused by storms and harsh weather. R and D by a Dutch consortium. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2022/03/08/submersing-modular-raft-for-floating-photovoltaics/
Homemade Adjustable Capacitor I read that the 365 pF air variable capacitors are very expensive, $30 or more so I decided to try to build one. It’s not difficult to make an adjustable capacitor out of materials one may have at home. This one does not adjust easily, it’s more of a prototype. I got
