She was eating again this morning, and seems brighter. I don't want to celebrate prematurely, but maybe this is another win for modern antibiotics.

A lot of virtual power plants and aggregation services are tapping into PV, EV charging and battery assets already built, and belonging to the homeowner - which is fine, but it's a lot more complex to organise than when they're built into the very development.

This is excellent. Yes, it will still need to draw from the grid, especially in winter. But having planned and integrated EV charging and local batteries, operating in combination as demand flexibility to prevent power use spikes, is the way forward to integrate local renewables.

Otterpool Park’s 8,500 homes will run on solar power and batteries.
In total, the town will have about 34 megawatts of renewable energy capacity, and one communal grid-scale battery for every 300 homes.

Nah she's definitely very sick. She's now not eating and sitting alone. I really do think she is going to die. But I have done my best, and that's unfortunately all I can do.

I am afraid I had time to attend the hospital appointment without the goose and then pick the goose up to take her to the vet.
(She's doing about the same - not good).

ChatGPT write me a cover letter for sending someone a vial of goose faeces by post.

We use nearly 40M acres of cornfields to grow ethanol. Nearly 40M acres of solar farms (with some batteries) could easily power the country, even if we all drove EVs and used AI. www.nytimes.com/2023/06/06/o...

Gas turbines are much lower capex than fuel cells, so if you are running them at low utilization - which you may well be, given rising solar penetration - the economics are probably better. (Also of course they're mostly going to run the gas turbines on natural gas...)

When they tell you about Chinese demand problems:
"Cutting the other way, BNEF’s early outlooks projected that China’s EV demand would remain policy-led until 2025. Instead, organic consumer demand took over around 2022." 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳 #alwaysbecharging

Yeah the hydrogen co-firing part of that is pretty sus! Not even for reasons which are Intermountain Power's fault, necessarily.
And to be fair on them the IRA incentives for green hydrogen were pretty sweet and I don't know what is happening to them now.
