I’m fortunate and proud to work along side these folks as colleagues dedicated to improving lives, even in small ways when that is all that is possible at the moment.

During a policy breakdown at the federal level, our community is dedicated to supporting one another. The fresh food drive this afternoon distributed over 400 boxes of healthy fruits and vegetables. Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen.

Huh, news to me.

Got citation? thx

@nicolekelner.bsky.social I sense another energy policy visual communication collaboration opportunity.

Want to help remix this cartoon with solar, transmission, and batteries?

Happy Opinions About Solar Day, to all who celebrate.
☀️🔋🔌⚡️

Thanks as always to @solarchase.bsky.social for providing thoughtful and understandable analysis of the current situation, and views looking forward.

@nicolekelner.bsky.social I’m really excited to have a chance to contribute to a good cause for a shot to win the original.

See you at #DERvos2025 tomorrow

if you see this quote with the energy u bring to blue sky #EV #RipIt

There are FAR more acres currently available and producing biofuels than will be “needed” for applications than can not be replaced by cleaner, more efficient energy systems.

Unfortunately, the current administration is working to stop that. This is preventing inexpensive new energy from coming online when we have rapidly growing demand.

Talking about 300x more miles per acre on Solar + EV than ethanol + ICE… is my love language.

Calculations vary slightly, but the conclusion is the same: solar is better on all measurable metrics than corn ethanol. No matter how “prime” the farmland is.

Actions have consequences.

FAFO

Well that’s not ominous at all…

Global solar installations surge 64% in first half of 2025 | Ember

"We are, quite suddenly, living in a world-changing moment"

380 GW of solar deployed in the first half of the year. No other technology can deliver speed to market or anchor the load growth coming the next few years.

The US can add 100GW of rooftop solar+ storage in record time.

No problem,

"If you like your furnace, you can keep it"

That branding has an excellent track record.

In action: the ridiculously higher “field to wheels” number for SolarEV compared to ethanol in ICE. Ethanol being a net LOSS compared to just using petroleum directly.

Every step of the clean electricity process is dramatically more efficient than the hydrocarbon process.

An exciting time at OPPD as AMI meter deployment is about to begin. Great to have something as helpful and critical to the clean energy transition on the on cover of our local paper.

Oh yah, it's gonna be great!

But I'm also going out of my way to NOT watch any trailers because modern studio marketing believes that MASSIVE visual spoilers are appropriate. I strongly disagree. I want to see... the things we all know from the book... in the theater, and not before.

Having younger, more dynamic leaders supporting positions aligned with a younger electorate is critical. It's also important to show respect for young people and their views, even if you don't understand or agree with them.

"Gen Z won't vote for policy I like. They're stupid."

Coldest take ever.

Any thought given to the consequences of publicly saying such broad yet also shallow things as,

"young people are stupid"

while complaining that they won't support your political positions?

Another Burgum order coldcocks solar and wind The Friday order by the Interior secretary on the “capacity density” of solar and wind projects is the latest in a series of restrictive moves by the Trump

The Trump Administration just issued a new order trying to kill solar and wind because they allegedly use too much land. But somehow this new fervor for "capacity density" won't apply to ethanol, which uses 100X as much land as solar per unit of energy.

Nuclear power in space - Wikipedia

I need to learn more about that history.

Past projects looks to be somewhat different/smaller than what is discussed for the future. The challenges of leaving the well seems like it will make very large items/projects difficult. Time will tell.

Ship use is plenty niche, rare, expensive. Start there, no need to blast extremely expensive radioactive things into space before they've been tested in a stable environment ;)

Remote military installations on land are near the top of the list for likely installations if I'm making predictions.

Happened faster than I expected. Got an out of state, political-consultant-driven text this afternoon. My first contribution to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social was right afterward.

I'll be encouraging others to contribute $9 to signal being tired of fundraising as the primary outreach we receive.

Getting your ego bruised because you got a form letter from a show/host who you can't even be bothered to remember.

Demanding respect, and giving none.
