Geothermal could be 10% of US electricity production by 2040. To hit 10% in 15 years, you need to start with 400MW of new geothermal this year and scaling deployment to 2GW per year by 2030 and then by 10% per year after that. - Standardized designs - Federal support through OBBBA/IRA - $30B of project finance raised by 2030
French startup launches ‘universal’ home energy management system #energysky -- via pv magazine global: https://t.co/eot5SeQ3va
The grid debate isn’t “clean energy vs gas.” No one cares. It’s about achieving system cost and reliability without 9% rate increases every year and hopefully avoiding natural gas price volatility. Let’s break down the arguments. 🧵

♨️Syria and Lebanon have seen a dramatic surge in rooftop solar installations, driven by severe, ongoing power shortages that have pushed households and businesses to seek reliable, independent energy solutions. ♨️Cuba faces a similar situation today—with chronic blackouts, fuel shortages, and...
Cuba has been cut off from oil, and solar power is saving Cuba. The irony here is the U.S. is making Cuba actually energy independent, which is likely the opposite desired effect Trump is seeking to have.

A million to one ratio is pretty sweet, tbh. Proud to buy cooling credits from these guys - paying to reflect a miniscule fraction of sunlight back into space. The only possible way to halt climate change at 1.5C.

Late January's winter weather was a perfect litmus test for purported replacements of fossil fuels. If a type of “power” or “capacity” cannot reliably contribute to preventing Americans from freezing to death during a week of nationwide cold weather, whatever else...
And why bother with new nuclear when enhanced geothermal does the exact same thing but faster, cheaper, cleaner & safer and with less land & no mining and can be done most anywhere. https://web.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jacobson/Articles/I/150Country/150-CountriesEGS.pdf https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2026/01/geothermal-clean-renewable-energy-transition-study-research Nuc pushers have no idea what the alternatives...
New nuclear is crazy-and useless $47.2 bil for 3.26 GW Hinkley Point C=$14.5/W vs $1/W for solar and wind And HPC will take 22 years from planning to operation (2008-2030), vs 1-3 for PV/wind Similar statistics for Vogtle Vaporware SMRs are worse https://t.co/M80o9ICaUb

Gee. With billions of taxpayer subsidies, we have finally proven that you can *actually move* a nuclear reactor. (But the fuel didn’t fly with them…) 🙄 Meanwhile, solar and batteries are cheaper, faster, safer, and move on planes and trucks every...
This is what legacy pollution looks like. Acid mine drainage discharging from an abandoned mine. Before this treatment system was established, this would just get discharged into the adjacent stream that feeds into the Monongahela River…which eventually feeds into the...
Had we not shut down so many coal plants and suppressed so many pipelines and prevented so many gas plants, this winter's electricity demand could have been easily and cheaply met. Instead, it strained grids, spiked power prices, and spiked heating...

Just read several embargoed reports coming out this week. We are no longer in a “data center growth” cycle. We are in a power procurement arms race.
I want nuclear to succeed. And right now almost every nuclear project in the Western world is an unmitigated disaster. The only way out of this is to both fix the economic incentives (customers can not hold the bag for...

The math behind the Hinkley Point C disaster is infuriating: EDF just pushed, again, the start-up to 2030 and the cost exploded from an original £18b in 2016 to £49b But how much solar or offshore wind does £49b buy in...
