The Russian invasion of Ukraine has sent one very clear message to Europe — ween yourself off dependence on Russian fossil gas, and gas in general. That led to record growth in wind and solar power this year, and a new analysis from E3G and Ember finds that the EU’s increase in wind and solar power deployment […]

The US hydrogen strategy was positioned in the wrong federal department. It was put in the hands of people who deal with fossil fuels all day long and have a paradigm of burning them for energy, not a paradigm of electricity for energy. It fails Rumelt’s test for the first thing that makes a good strategy, and so its principles and actions will be failures as well.

SunPower came by at the end of September and added 21 panels to my south-facing roof. This is only possible since SunPower understands the previous installation and knows what steps to take to upgrade the system. You can upgrade your solar in steps, as you see how your bill changes. I estimate the roof can […]

I, like many, have been quite concerned for months about what will happen with Ukraine. Even if it does fight off Russia completely and regain and secure its borders, the country has been demolished, countless citizens have been murdered, many more have been traumatized and terrorized, and rebuilding the nation will be no easy task. […]

There isn’t a lot in the realm of heating that’s remotely sexy and also practical, but a couple of things edge into the quadrant, including … hydrogen.

Enough methane gas leaks from pipelines between Permian wellheads and processing facilities to power 2.1 million homes, a study published Tuesday in Environmental Science and Technology Letters finds. The 213,000 metric tons of methane escaping from so-called gathering lines is 14 times higher than a previous EPA finding. The study represents the second finding that […]

The next quadrant chart of sexy vs practical is in place, one on carbon drawdown from our overloaded atmosphere. It complements the ones on electricity and energy storage, and ground, marine and air transportation.
