omg y'all it's happening

Hyundai Group EVs, including Ioniq 5 & 9 and Genesis EVs, will regain eligiblity for the $7500 US EV tax credit, as Hyundai begins rolling out more vehicles at its Georgia Metaplant and SK Battery Americas cranks out US-made batteries for the vehicles nearby electrek.co/2025/02/17/h... πŸ”ŒπŸ’‘ πŸ”ŒπŸš—

If it takes off, #V2G could become extremely useful to the power grid as a way to release power as required and stabilise the grid against fluctuations. πŸ”ŒπŸ’‘ theconversation.com/a-house-batt...

Tesla is valued as an AI and robotics powerhouse, but its revenues come from being a car company. And any continued power Elon Musk has rests on people buying his cars and using his products. Will they now, after everything? I'm back in @theatlantic.com with more: www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

A real blorp of a storm

This. I'd love to see the American figures on this one. I bet it's just as much growth if not more!

With a week of big snowstorms bearing down on NH, I'm reminded that one of the key things I use twitter for is following excellent local meteorologists. Does anybody know if there are good regional meteo starter packs?

Yikes

Enormous kudos to the Republican and Democratic leaders in the NH Legislature who are coming together to fix New Hampshire's never-been-used C-PACE program this year. Nice to see how bipartisan energy efficiency has become at the NH General Court. www.nhbr.com/opinion-new-...

some ways to generate electricity A) use sunlight to drive photosynthesis in plants, let plants die, wait ~100 million years, dig up fossilized plants, burn plants, use heat to boil water, use steam to drive a rotating turbine, use generator to make electrons B) use sunlight to make electrons

big scoop: i got my hands on a draft executive order ending offshore wind sent to the trump transition team not only would it stop permits but includes a stop construction order and potentially rfk jr studying the health impacts of living near wind turbines heatmap.news/plus/the-fig...

At <$40k I wouldn't be shocked if people imported some of these to the US *even with* a 100% tariff

Absolutely huge news for the EV charging starved state of New Hampshire. The state has won a $15 million competitive CFI grant for community charging from the @usdotfhwa.bsky.social

Gotta love that everyone is finding that local advocacy is what's needed for the clean energy transition, but ummm instead of funding 50 national nonprofits that do mediocre work "with local partners" how about just fund 50 awesome state partners @volts.wtf pca.st/podcast/647d...

I firmly believe we should be pulling hard for hybrid hvac: a furnace plus a heat pump. This episode of HVAC Boundary Spanners with Abhi and I makes the case for them. The next episode is the case against. What sticks out to you? open.spotify.com/episode/5Jfr...

This is doooooope! I grew up in NH, but have never gone up the Cog. (My 8th grade class trip hiked up, and rode the train down, tho.) If they electrified it, I'd be on the first train to the top! www.caledonianrecord.com/news/local/t...

"The outlook for legacy foreign automakers in China has never been this bleak. Take GM, which early in December took more than $5 billion in charges and writedowns tied to its troubled operations in the world’s biggest car market. VW, until recently the top-selling car brand in China, ..

Great article with two great graphs from the @rockymtninst.bsky.social Fossil Fuel demand has peaked and we continue to underestimate the rate of change for clean technologies!!

YES. Legit don't understand why this message hasn't hit the streets. With 4 snow tires, our Chevy Bolt can drive up an icy vertical wall.

Annual lithium-ion demand surpasses 1 TWh for first time #energysky -- via pv magazine global: www.pv-magazine.com/...

#energysky #greensky #EV #electricvehicles U.S. share of electric and hybrid vehicle sales reached a record in the third quarter www.eia.gov/todayinenerg... Combined sales increased from 19.1% of total new light-duty vehicle (LDV) sales in the United States in 2Q24 to 21.2% in 3Q24

There's plenty of Lithium in America, if we choose to develop it...

Mr. @jglarusso.bsky.social with an excellent thread showing how far we truly are from "markets" up here in "restructured" New England

Listening back to Richard Miller's 2012 "Energy for Future Presidents" is a reminder of how fast the energy landscape can change. A huge area of focus is how to grow the US "syn-fuel" (gasoline from coal and natural gas!!) market. The feasibility of EVs is dismissed out of hand

Despite it being the shortest day of the year, California still generated almost 13 GW - over 60% of system demand - around noon, not including any rooftop solar. β˜€οΈπŸ”ŒπŸ’‘

Always, always, always read @knowledgeproblem.bsky.social. This, on the resurgence of fears of "grid defection", perfectly captures my thoughts and feelings of late. The last round of "utility death spiral" fears were simply ten years too early... knowledgeproblem.substack.com/p/economics-...

I demand a @solarchase.bsky.social hot take

High praise from a tough critic! πŸ”ŒπŸ’‘

Look at this terrifying scene: happy, healthy animals running through co-located wind and solar energy farm cranking out clean energy in a grassy field. I can see now why people would rather have a field of oil pumps and pipelines instead πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ #energysky #πŸ”‹ #⚑️job

Is there a way to know if you got added to a starter pack?? πŸ˜‚ Evidence from today suggests maybe!
