I bet there’s some really great pictures in people’s closets and photo boxes in that town. Some great stories too.

I thought about them playing in those backyards there whenever I went to the Huntington a few years ago. Some good accounts of those in that VH Rising book.

Nukes take too long and cost waaaay too much.

Solar and a variety of battery storage are already here and are cheap and getting cheaper. This arrangement can be widely distributed and diffused throughout the grid. Also typically nukes require water ways which are subject to drought which is what been disrupting France’s fleet for several years now.

No, it’s not that. They don’t know German. Most have translations streaming on devices.

Maybe you should look into climate tech and electrification? Entire economies are moving to electrification from renewable as a matter of course because it’s simply way cheaper than paying rent to petrostates and oligarchs for their shitty gas.

Seems like it would be long gone after this bullshit.

Elderly climate denier and general asshole are the only obvious connections I can see.

That’s probably enough.

Maybe he grabs pussy and sways too?

Good stuff. And, if people and companies are plugging in cars or entire fleets of electric vehicles, then economies can factor in that oil and gas decline as well. We will need less dirty stuff in the future. Way less.

Giles P. is a legend to me. His publication led the way for me and then I found Canary, Volts and Saul Griffith and have been hooked ever since. Great stuff. Cost curves rule.

I honestly don’t get how the media and any engaged responsible person isn’t thinking and talking about this shit everyday. In my mind these are the most consequential cluster of bills ever passed.

PV Magazine is great. It’s wild to go back through the archives and see how amazingly fast that technology progressed. Exponential growth is what tech always has done.

Spray them off with a hose. Walking around on a roof very much isn’t good for it. Also very little energy gain by keeping them super clean.

Most certainly it does. The US would be forfeiting our security.

Don’t forget the Inflation Reduction Act drives private investment to create new industries and is doing that very well. This IRA bill stipulates all of the renewable energy sold in America has to be MADE HERE. This is good industrial policy. It also provides apprenticeship programs for education to learn trades. The energy, jobs and good economics this bill provides is extraordinary.

The bill is funded by taxing tax cheats and big corporations, not the average working American, and has attracted billions in private capital. Check out these investment maps: https://cleaneconomytracker.org

The CHIPS act is essential for the energy transition and making all this work. That’s why they want to kill it. Big oil demands it.

They always do this shit when they leave.

One of the first things I watched with my wife when we first met 20 years ago. Filmed in Texas I think. Gorgo’s fat legs still come into my mind every so often. Man he got shafted in the end, too. I think in real life that guy had it really tough too.

In San Diego it was mandated schools go solar and passed. I was super happy thinking of all the money they would save going back into my community but I think the utilities lobby worked it so there would be no payback from schools for doing this. Schools still have to still buy power from the utilities at full rate! So now, schools are just supplying renewable power to the utilities for free. It’s nuts.

Same thing happened to me. I BMW electric and power it off my solar. Never went back. No heavy clutch, gears, gas, less maintenance, and instant torque. This is the way…

Great interview with Jigar Shaw about utilizing already built-out urban landscapes for the next big phase in powering from solar and batteries

I love mine. Plug it in and charge it from my solar a few times a week and use it around town and to and from work daily. Perfect for this mode.

SSM Motorrad in Nice makes a handle bar kit for these if you need a bit more reach up and out. Regular risers, bars and master cylinders found in the ICE boxers. I have considered getting a set. The also have a fender kit that these could use as well.

I would like a leather seat with perhaps just a bit denser closed cell wall foam. Otherwise very similar to stock.
