Reposted by David PaolellaJoannes Laveyne @jolaveyne.bsky.social · 01/05/2025Much ado about the role of renewable energy (RE) in the Spanish blackout. The investigation into the effective cause is still ongoing, but many pointed to the fact that RE has no ‘inertia’. Is that true? The answer is: yes, but ... 🧵 40627263

It's easy to imagine the broader innovations needed to fulfill their promise, helping nascent technology scale + making it viable for lower-revenue applications. 001
David Paolella @davidpaolella.bsky.social · 05/12/2024While data center load growth presents new challenges for climate goals, we're already seeing the data center boom could be a major driver of early demand for nascent clean firm power technologies, buying down costs for others. This figure from the ADP24 captures the scale of the opportunity. 2105
David Paolella @davidpaolella.bsky.social · 05/12/2024The ADP24 was published today with some very interesting updates on timely topics like data center load growth, next-gen geothermal potential, implications of a future geologic hydrogen breakthrough, and others.
