Trump Loses It When Asked About 'Chickening Out' on Tariffs President Donald Trump lashed out at a reporter after being asked about the TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) trades and his waffling tariff policy.

TACO. 🌮 🌮 🌮

We now have visual evidence of intense pollution from every stage of the #LNG supply chain, from the hole in the ground, to the export terminal, to the regasification import terminal (as bad as it sounds), to the power plant. It's astonishing to see, even for me.

Baltic States to Cut Energy Ties With Russia This Weekend in Power Grid Switch - The Moscow Times Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia will disconnect from the Russian power grid on Saturday, severing Soviet-era energy ties with their neighbor to the east.

Good news out of the Baltic’s.

Batteries have Reshaped ERCOT’s Ancillary Services Procurement For most of their tenure on the ERCOT grid, batteries have largely made their bones supplying ancillary services as opposed to energy, but that is beginning to change.

Great explainer on battery use in ERCOT from GridStatus

Ancillary service revenue pretty much all taken from fossil, now moving onto energy.

Looks a lot like the primary energy fallacy.

You’ll need to adjust that for the 66% waste of the fossils.

Not just the volume, the price/quality is also amazing.

Thanks for sharing!

80% reduction by 2035 to get to 50/MWh.

I know solar and batteries have seen declines of this order, do you see this as replicable for geothermal?

Feels like a very different beast.

“geothermal energy could meet 15% of global electricity demand growth between now and 2050 if project costs continue to decline. This would mean the deployment of as much as 800 gigawatts of geothermal capacity worldwide” www.iea.org/news/technol...

European electricity this week is super expensive.

But nothing like 2022.

Matthew Middleton on LinkedIn: #caiso #batterybuildout2025 #bigbess At least 5.6 GW of battery energy storage is set to be operational in CAISO over the next 12 months. ◾️ 39 sites, currently in the New Resource Implementation…

Goodness me. This is epic size.

Battery power capacity across CAISO will reach 17.6 GW by the end of 2025. Net load was 25 GW yesterday.....

Assuming 4 hour storage, that's 70 GWh a day, or about 20% of total net load.

Dramatic.

Surprised that they are only on average just over 2 hours of storage.

Would have expected higher.

A ton of batteries coming to the NEM in Australia.

And a most excellent representation of power and energy.

GenCast predicts weather and the risks of extreme conditions with state-of-the-art accuracy New AI model advances the prediction of weather uncertainties and risks, delivering faster, more accurate forecasts up to 15 days ahead

Google announce GenCast, an improvement on Ensemble weather forecasts.

Super interesting as these are MUCH faster and better than the existing processes.

AI saving electricity…..

Nice summary from RMI on some hydrogen myths.

Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should!

My bet is tech will commit to PPA’s, but will draw the line at nuclear construction risk.

Refreshing to zoom out and realise that no one can stop this.

Pretty cool stuff. Thx

Thanks, without wanting to seem churlish, hoping things might have moved on a bit!

Does anyone have a list for district heating specialists?

Looking to understand more about the options to use renewable power in combination with resistance heating.

A lot less gas being burned in the evening demand peak.

As more batteries come on, less curtailment of solar, and few kWh going to gas.

Climate anxiety is widespread. This 5+ years weekly thread ⬆️ aggregates good climate news to show that climate action is widespread and has momentum. Keep on clicking for a big dose of good climate news!

Some significant changes going on in CAISO.
