Yes. Feckless. At 52+ D he may just switch parties as that will enrich him the most after he is voted out. The right wing media machine will pay him handsomely.

Yes at 51, Fetterman has all the power. And he will use it.

I am suspicious of these claims. And no mention of the cost of the system. The fact that the project is in China, at an oilfield, makes me doubly suspicious...smells a bit like a different version of Energy Vaults blocks...

Yeah...based on what I am seeing that ain't flaring. Markets are going to be spicy tomorrow.

NASA FIRMS shows multiple fires in that area.

Energy Storage Pro @besspro.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

That line of fires looks to be right on the east-west pipeline...you can see it when you zoom in. But this doesnt seem to be hitting mainstream so maybe its just flaring?

Why anyone thought that gravity energy storage was ever anything but a pump and dump fraud on par with launching a memecoin is beyond me. But for those who still think this tech has a future...read on. This is an absolute dead end. The fact that NRGV still has a >$750m market cap is...something.

"Community scale" batteries like the ones I build (5MW/4hr) are good generally for helping with electrification and the deferral or avoidance of distribution grid upgrades. They have to be downstream of the substation...upstream is transmission-level (big) batteries. Transformer life is secondary.

The brand new chairman of the board of trustees, the Trump loving oil company CEO John Hess was surely instrumental in this decision. People at the hospital who actually give a shit about patient care should be mortified.

Energy Storage Pro @besspro.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Is it really surprising that the brand new trustee board chair is a John Hess, who is the ex longtime CEO of Hess Corporation, a large fossil fuel company. Wonder how much he donated to Trump. Disgusting. Shameful.

What it REALLY says is that ISO-NE is captured by incumbent generators who don't want anything new built unless they own it. The same is true at the distribution level with the utilities. Until government stands up to this, we will go nowhere.

6.7 GW of power/20.2GWh of capacity built in one quarter in the US. That's 6 large nuclear reactors worth of capacity shifted for 3 hours a day. Batteries are going to change everything faster than you realize. www.canarymedia.com/articles/bat...

The US built more grid batteries last quarter than ever before

The outlook for storage construction keeps getting brighter as everyone from the Trump White House to clean energy advocates to AI giants clamors for more.

I can't stress enough that this book (Money Game) was written in nineteen sixty six, and it might as well have been published yesterday:

This is more of a GW issue than a GWh issue as well...only matter ls at peak.

000

Energy Storage Pro @besspro.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Canada is, max, 9% of NYISO demand (and 1.25GW is new). There are reserve margins and capacity from the rest of the Eastern Interconnect that can pick this slack up. Prices will be much higher @ peak...but that also pushes down demand. It is painful, but wouldn't lead to the lights going out.

010

Energy Storage Pro @besspro.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

They will stay on...just more expensively...NY has plenty of grid connections to PJM to pick up loss of Canada...and both NY and ISO NE have sufficient generation capacity to be ok.

Just to be clear, Social Security is not accounting fraud (obviously). Its structure has to be adjusted over time for changing demographics, of course, but it's a completely sustainable approach to income security for the elderly.

it's maddening. and not only this, renewables are now the cheapest form of electricity AND fossil fuels have suffered repeated severe price shocks AND EVs are now price competitive with gas cars

Not exactly what you are looking for, but the EO on psychedelics was genuinely good. Not clear if it was pushed by MAHA, or just MAHA-adjacent people.

If I may...the guidance has changed on this. Psilocin is a 5-HT2A agonist and doesn't meaningfully drive serotonin release or block reuptake. The real effect is attenuation: Johns Hopkins survey data put the probability of weaker-than-expected effects at ~0.47 for SSRIs. MAOIs are contraindicated.

Over 90GW of gross load, with >100 degrees everywhere, no wind and heat index in Dallas >120...and $26 MWH? Two or three years ago those conditions would have led to far higher prices. Solar for the win...

yep...lots of duration in those 0.125 coupon bonds

010

Energy Storage Pro @besspro.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Yep for sure. If we issued more TIPS, this wouldn't be an option of course, but given they are small %, then yes this is a strategy. Note we don't need to balance the budget or pay off the debt to avoid need to inflate debt...so long as total deficit = nominal GDP growth, then debt/GDP ratio stable

110

Energy Storage Pro @besspro.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

You already see this I'm sure, but ~20Y TIPS are value sweet spot unless you are trying to max duration.

110

Energy Storage Pro @besspro.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Inflation + 3% compares very favorably to expected long-term returns of many higher risk assets and is a very nice risk-free return. And real duration doesn't scare me much...probably +2% worst case and -4% (-1% real yields) best case. Reals are probably better equity hedge than nominals today.
