Another reason to question natural gas power plant buildout
Congrats to the "Gridnaition" and "HorizonRail" teams, who won first and third place, respectively, at the #DigitalFuture Challenge 2025: http://go.tum.de/246067

Long-term scalable energy storage through compressed air under local water reservoir. Tech ready to go live in 2030’s.
Which makes Trump’s ”Drill baby drill”-slogan just another empty phrase with sexual overtones designed to appeal to 45-year-old teenagers.
Should I become a battery youtuber?*
Perusing YouTube and its endless battery "content"

Details are all here.
Track: Energy: Accelerating the Transition through Open Source
Room: H.2214
Day: Sunday
Start: 10:55 (Brussels)
End: 11:15
Video only: h2214
Chat: Join the conversation!
Daniel and Josh will be presenting on our work. Looking forward to connecting with the many cool projects in our devroom and others, as well as hopefully meeting with other @nlnet@nlnet.nl and @ngizero@mastodon.xyz projects!
My opinion article on why we should take a European (rather than national) approach to energy storage on energiepodium.nl.
I look at it from 4 angles: dispatchable power generation, biomethane, hydrogen, and strategic gas storage. In Dutch, for now ;)

Publishing my and @andrew 's list of flow battery companies as a public resource! Over 50 enterprises as of current writing. Trying to loosely keep track of who's doing what with which chemistries.

Jan 23 update from District 2 Monterey County Supervisor Glenn Church on the Moss Landing battery fire.

We encourage a thorough read of newsletter released this eve by District 2 Monterey County Supervisor Glenn Church on the Moss Landing battery fire. https://us21.campaign-archive.com/?u=b91306d327dee38ad97c7fa73&id=937ea505d1
"When I took office two years ago, I accepted several tours of the #Vistra facility, including a tour inside the building that burned. The facility and its safety systems appeared impressive. I was personally given the guarantee that a fire similar to the one that occurred in 2022 at the neighboring PG&E / #Tesla operation could not happen at Vistra. We know that is not true. This disaster is worse.

"There has been some great #news reporting on this story, but there have also been some errors. There is a great deal of #misinformation being spread. That is because there are a lot of unknowns. I would urge everyone to doublecheck every source."
What Europe needs to do in the next 10 years: Create a single #EUarmy and foreign policy by majority
️ A real common energy policy, which, like the CAP, has the goal of energy abundance, backed by #nuclear, #renewables, and #EnergyStorage tech
@CppGuy One word: #Tetraetyllead
IMHO it'll be inevitable that #Methanol #FuelCell-based #EV|s will be the future simply because:
1.#Lithium is scarce & expensive
2.#refueling will always be faster than #charging
3.#EnergyDensity of Methanol exceeds that of any #battery
4.#FussilFuel #Corporations can simply switchover pumps and flex their #EconomyOfScale and existing #Logistics to flood the market with cheap Methanol even if it has to be made 100% sustainable and without any fossil resources.
5.#EnergyStorage is another problem and #FuelCells can replace both #EmergencyPower systems running if #Diesel as well as the average #gasoline #generator.
Not to mention there needs to be #SystemChangeNotClimateChange and that necessitates way better #PublicTransport, regardless if #Trains, #Trams, #Trolleybuses or #FuelcellBuses (in that order)...
OFC what any #BEVs won't fix is the fact that most particle emissions are #tire #brake #dust...
