Thanks. They definitely discussed propane in the article
- Comment on The quest to fix the irony at the heart of every heat pump 1 day ago:
Thanks. That’s useful information for the uncertain years ahead. For now the article says
“Our math shows R-32, plus good refrigerant management, those two things combined solve almost all of the refrigerant problem,” said Romanin. “Because of that data, Gradient believes the industry should stay on R-32 until we’re ready for natural refrigerants.”

- Comment on Barn-shaped home produces almost twice as much energy as it needs 5 weeks ago:
It sounds like it’s a new construction on former agricultural land to me.
- Comment on Barn-shaped home produces almost twice as much energy as it needs 5 weeks ago:
I do too. It seems their source is the architectural firm which doesn’t provide many details at this point.

- Comment on This is the first silent home wind turbine that destroys solar panels - 1500 kWh of free electricity 1 month ago:
The headline does seem a little like clickbait. Thanks for looking into it and sharing what you found.

- Comment on California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy 2 months ago:
The article is focusing on California as an example so that doesn’t seem entirely necessary but you could look to Norway to discover how they deal with this:
Vertical Panels are one solution as are Snow Repellent Panels and heated solar panels
- Comment on California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy 2 months ago:
Beyond simply the headline, the first two paragraphs from the article directly address this and site their source ( mentioned quoted above ) which further addresses the issue you are mentioning.
- Comment on California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy 2 months ago:
From the scientific journal directly sited in the article :
It’s true that solar energy is only produced when the sun is shining on solar panels. Likewise, wind energy is dependent on the ebb and flow of air currents. But the sheer volume of renewable energy being deployed, the ability to store that energy for longer, and to match demand with supply using software, creates a balanced grid.
According to BloombergNEF, lithium-ion battery cell densities have almost tripled, and costs have declined by almost 90% in the past decade – making it easier to smooth out the peaks and troughs of generation to meet the shifts and cycles of demand. Renewable energy sources themselves have dropped by as much as 82% over the same timeframe. Further improvements to both generation and storage will continue driving down costs, making renewable energy even more attractive to consumers.

- Comment on In the California desert, residents are struggling with the influx of massive solar projects 5 months ago:
Thank you for a reading the article and responding with substance from it that considers what it instead of being dismissive. These projects are far from perfect.
