Korean Hydrogen Explosions, Leaks, Auction Failure & Impeachment May Cause Pivot
The hydrogen atom is tiny. Getting enough of it in one place requires pressures found at three to seven kilometers under the surface of the ocean. Unsurprisingly, it leaks. As it’s an indirect greenhouse gas and an explosion risk, that’s a big problem. South Korea has been learning exactly what … [continued]

Decarbonization Requires Robust Decision Making Frameworks
An accidental advantage I have with my somewhat ADHD career and interests is that I’ve established patterns and filters for how I view the world that have been tested in multiple domains, often to destruction. I’ve published on the set a few times, but it’s worth returning to them. Looking … [continued]

US Solar Manufacturing Is Soaring — New Facts
I wrote about it a handful of times last year — US solar manufacturing got a big boost from the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (aka IRA) and has provided a lot more blue collar (or “green collar”) jobs in the country again. Overall, the IRA has been the biggest … [continued]

British Columbia Shows Norway How To Decarbonize Ferries
Moving people and vehicles across short distances is a no-brainer for batteries and electric motors. The only problem, as with most electrification of transportation, is getting electricity at sufficient power levels to the point of charging. British Columbia has a very obvious and straightforward strategy for its ferries. British Columbia … [continued]
