- Comment on Nuclear and Fossil Fuels Join Forces to Undermine Renewables 3 weeks ago:
The thing about nuclear which drove us to large plants in the first place is that bigger reactors have significant economies of scale. Even with big reactors, nuclear has been very expensive to build, and hasn’t really come down in cost in a long time, and takes a very long time to actually build.
By contrast, wind, solar, and storage are cheap and can be deployed rapidly in small increments with much more site flexibility.
So what’s going on is a false promise of future nuclear being used to prevent the deployment of renewables now.
- Comment on A Rare Bright Spot for U.S. Solar: Subscriptions | The solar company Sunrun has managed to thrive despite President Trump’s crackdown on renewable energy, offering what it calls “energy as a service.” 3 weeks ago:
In the US, yes. Other countries do installers competing against each other over install price, which ends up dropping cost to about 1/4 of what it is in the US.

Basically they have a financing deal for the rooftop solar that’s designed to have a lower monthly payment than the utility bill it displaces

I don’t expect any kind of physical object to be free as in beer…but they definitely have a lot of room for technical improvement to make batteries cheaper

- Comment on Once a Gamble in the Desert, Electric Grid Batteries Are Everywhere 4 weeks ago:
They’re mostly not set up as a backup system, but to time-shift wind and solar so that it isnt necessary to use more expensive fossil fuel generation. For example, here is what utility-scale battery use looked like on Dec 5 in California
- Comment on Electricity Should Be Free at Noon | And two other ideas for lowering electricity costs 4 weeks ago:
Not really; there are real reasons people don’t want large-scale storage near populated areas, and it’s more expensive than avoiding the need for long-duration storage, and burning it (if you don’t store the oxygen, which raises costs even more) produces lung-damage nitrogen oxides. So there’s a lot of reasons to minimize the need for hydrogen as much as possible.
