In 2022 I drove across Canada from Ottawa to northern BC. I remember driving for three full days around the top of Lake Superior with a wall of mostly dead trees on either side of the road the whole way, thinking, man when Ontario burns, there's going to be […] [Original post on mastodon.energy]

Yes, the "National Energy Dominance Council" is dumb and just...silly. But this? This is utterly cretinous. (Via @semaphor) Reality-free propaganda from top to bottom.

Look at this massive parking lot in China, all covered in solar and equipped with EV chargers. Utterly dwarfing anything like it in the US or Europe, AFAIK. english.news.cn/20250918/85aadb481c…

@bourgwick I wonder how much of this is about listings/promotion, and how much of it is about a fundamental decline in the business. And I wonder what @andygadiel thinks about that.

As an example of why I say CSP isn't dead, one of the innovations we discuss in @TransitionShow Ep. 249 is this amazing little module from RayGen. It's 4 inches square and produces 2.5 kW of electricity AND 5 kW of thermal energy in the form of hot water at […] [Original post on mastodon.energy]

Fun side trip today: Riding the Byron Bay Solar Train, originally built in 1962 & converted to solar a few years ago. Just a novelty really (a whole 3 km of track!) but still fun for solar geeks!
