    Solar Power. From space! In my latest article with Leet Wood, we explore how space based solar power can contribute to climate mitigation goals. We propose a phased energy RDD&C program to establish US leadership in SBSP

    Since COVID first hit, leading public health people have said we need to treat this as a worldwide problem because of the possibility of variants and mutations. We should have figured out to vaccinate everyone on Earth within six months of widespread vaccine approval

    This is like the Capitol Police saying they didn't see the 1/6 insurrection coming when it was all over Twitter for weeks/months ahead of time

    Vice President Harris: “We didn’t see Delta coming. I think most scientists did not — upon whose advice and direction we have relied — didn’t see Delta coming. We didn’t see Omicron coming."

    With the Build Back Better Act hanging in the balance, it's worth looking at the stakes for the US renewables industry. Extending the tax credits would roughly double the new solar capacity added in the US by 2030, we project. In Energy Pulse last week:

    Its worth reading that study in depth because some of the major perceived barriers, like variable funding and a lack of private investors, have disappeared in the last 18 months with ARDP and the increasing amount of VC in the space

    Its amazing how quickly the advanced reactor space has changed. This 2018 PNAS study found it unlikely advanced reactors would be commercialized by 2050. We are on track for broad microreactor commercialization and 3 major demo projects by the late 2020s

    A lot of decarbonization modeling uses average or single-year weather and temperatures to evaluate end-use energy use and therefore grid requirements. That means we aren't testing how future energy systems are supposed to perform under very hot or very cold conditions.
