In 50 of 82 Days in 2025, Solar, Wind, & Water Surpass 100% of Electricity Demand in California for Part of Day
As I just reported (thanks to Daniel Miller for sending in the news), solar power provided the second-most electricity in the United States for 5 hours last week. A huge portion of that is in California. There’s far more solar power installed in California than anywhere else in the USA, … [continued]

Deep Geothermal Energy Production Progress in Utah
Mark Z. Jacobson has proposed converting the entire energy production of the world to clean energy. He regards “Wind, Water, and Solar” (WWS) as the only methods that can do this practically, quickly, and economically. Of those, hydroelectric power is the only relatively continuous source, but it cannot be easily … [continued]

Why Lots Of Rabbits Have To Be Harnessed To Keep Grid Clocks Aligned
The UK now has an active market for grid inertia, marking a significant step toward ensuring stability in an electricity grid increasingly reliant on intermittent renewable energy sources. The first successful bidder to provide this inertia service was a notably straightforward yet effective technology: an electric motor spinning a massive … [continued]
