News:

Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for justice: for they shall be filled. Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. The glory of the Lord shall endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works. He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke. I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the Lord. Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the Lord, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord.

Cheap, multi-day grid ⚡ energy. FINALLY!


Just Have a Think 529K subscribers 26,419 views Aug 13, 2023

Electricity grids all over the world are decarbonising at an accelerating pace as fossil fuels are being outperformed by renewables. One of the keys elements of that transformation will be energy storage that can be discharged over a period of several days so that power can always be guaranteed when there's not so much sun or wind around. Iron-air ⚡ batteries look like they may be the perfect solution. Now a US company called FORM Energy is on the cusp of installing its first 10MW / 1 gigawatt hour iron-air energy storage facility.

Green Mountain Power Takes A Bold Step Toward ⚡ Energy Resiliency

Green Mountain Power in Vermont has a plan to add a residential storage battery in the homes of all 270,000 of its customers by 2030.
SNIPPETS:

Green Mountain Power has just filed a proposal with the state of Vermont that it says could eliminate power outages for all 270,000 of its customers by 2030. The plan is to put many of its power lines underground where they are safe from falling trees and branches, strengthen the lines that have to remain above ground so they can better resist powerful winds and heavier snowfalls, and install a residential storage battery in the home of every residential customer. 👍🌞

Those batteries can keep the ⚡ power on when outages do occur so people don’t have to live without heat or 💧 water during a Vermont winter. Does that last part surprise you? That’s because you have never lived somewhere that depends on water from a well. When the lights go out, so does the well pump, which can change your whole perspective about how much we take running water for granted.


Why is Green Mountain Power doing this? “We don’t want the power to be off for our customers ever. People’s lives are on the line. That is ultimately at the heart of why we’re doing what we’re trying to do,” CEO Mari McClure told the New York Times. ... ...


The floods wiped out a beekeeper who happened to be a neighbor of Bill McKibben, which inspired him to research the cause of the flooding. He discovered that warm air holds more moisture, which in turn leads to heavier than normal rains which in turn lead to flooding in places where storm water never used to be a problem. And the reason the air temperatures are rising is, in large measure, due to the gigatons of carbon dioxide and methane pumped into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels.

McKibben used what he learned to write a book called Oil And Honey, which drew a bright line between the activities of the fossil fuel companies and the destruction of his neighbor’s bees.
