I don’t know if this is news in the US, but it has the Irish freaked out.

Any chance of including some measure of dispatch down?
This Decarbonize! video discusses the difference of European incentives for renewables versus the US and how the European approach is better for the environment and consumers.
Another thing Europe does better than the US: Subsidize renewable energy

Here's a rare thing: a Decarbonize! video that's good news.

Because the GOP voters buy into it.
My latest Decarbonize video is on one of the few next generation nuclear companies that's publically traded, Oklo. They're working on a small modular reactor that's cooled by liquid sodium and is of the fast-neutron variety.
But is the company worth $10 Billion?

I just dropped a video on Oklo and agree with you.
Is nuclear power darling Oklo a good investment?

My Decarbonize video on powering data centers is my best performing video by far. So far over 22 thousand people have watched it with a 96% "like" ratio.

Here's a short Decarbonize video on one of my favorite fusion companies. It's kinda good news.

I've fallen behind in posting my videos here. If you want to see them right away, be sure to subscribe at YouTube.
This one is in response to a common comment I've seen that renewables cost estimates don't include all of the system costs. Well, this study does.

Look at the elections in Ireland for a good model.
I finally watched the HBO miniseries Chernobyl, and I have thoughts.

We drove past Benbulben today with a full moon rising. We should have pulled over and gotten a photo, as it was even more stunning than usual.
We now have pretty good evidence that she's not the right person for the job. Or any job for that matter.
There are better changes than that. Look at how the Irish elect the Dail, with rank choice voting and proportional representation.
Are air strikes really the best way to support the Iranian people?
My latest video is on the Trump administration's gutting of nuclear regulations and a company that's taking advantage of being able to build a reactor without actually proving it's safe.

I've been hearing about V2G for over a decade when it was being pursued by a small company in the Seattle area. I've never been bullish since I figure that stationairy batteries that are cheaper and don't need to be light will be preferred.
My latest Decarbonize! video is out. It's an interview with Tom Gurski, founder of Bluedot Motorworks, and should be of interest to anyone who has an idea and is willing to put in the sweat to make it real.

For anyone looking for an easy way to fight climate change, I have a one-minute action: Write an email to the International Air Transport Association at corpcomms@iata.org and ask them to include contrail management in their Environmental Assessment program.

The irony is we SHOULD be talking more about contrails.

Electrically speaking, Is Texas or Ireland an Island? The answer might not be what you think.

We’ve traveled to England to see a performance of “The Ballad of Johnny Longstaff”.
It’s a powerful true story of a real life Antifa warrior. He fought Nazis in London, Spain, North Africa and Italy.
Here’s “The Battle of Cable Street”

Also, do you include battery storage.
So you count the discharge, but not the charge?
How to you calculate the contribution of pumped storage? It should be zero averaged over the day.
Here's my latest Decarbonize! video. This one has a call to action.
I'd like to do a follow-up video, but I want to partner with someone who's a subject matter expert on flight planning. If you know of someone, please reach out.

My latest Decarbonize! Video includes music and poetry, but it’s still on topic.

I wish this was true for Dublin, but it isn’t.
Still, we have better transit than any city its size in the US.
