Just to be clear, before I read a post I check to see if there are any URLs... I kind of rarely read or depending on the poster have a basic glance at the posts here who don't provide URLs for their comments/posts because they tend to be just manipulated garbage, if your not willing to provide a lin...

That is a new PDF document release from Lazard (well its all dated Nov 2018) The problem with those LCOE charts is they exclude the ability of on-demand 24/7 generation of electricity. This is now becoming the CORE rule for a power station being built in Australia As said here for Victoria, "to rele...

I figured Telsa must have about 50 lawsuits from the articles I have seen, apparently, it turns out to be almost 300! We are approaching 300 $TSLA and Elon Musk lawsuits indexed across numerous courts, with more to go. Introducing Tesla tags, which you can use to view cases by issue. https://twitter...

Apparently, a major new milestone was hit with the Tokamak fusion reactor. This stuff has always been like chasing a rainbow, but who knows maybe they really are getting somewhere now. Gotta admit the thing looks friggen awesome. Nuclear scientists take leap towards fusion power as they test revolut...

I come across of few of these unhappy Tesla owner photos/stories practically every day on Twitter etc, but this one made me laugh lol.. Massive panel gaps.. As usual, the verdict is that the guy is obviously a Tesla hater and it's really HIS fault for accepting the car on delivery.. https://imgur.co...

Lithium molten salt reactors are coming back baby. Plus, the new designs can actually "burn" old radioactive materials instead of having to landfill them. Too bad they pulled the plug on this research back in the late 1960s/early 1970s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molten_salt_reactor M Yeah, the ...

Dauntless.. i want a clean and simple yet functional design. Not a lot of whizbang crap. Well, I think PhpBB is pretty cool. I set it up once for internal use for a company I worked at, they had a 24 hour office/team of people whos job was to monitor a bunch of activities. They needed a simple syst...

So the main maintainer of phpbb came up with a pretty cool media embed option, and i've got that bad boy installed now. This is a great update. I noticed all my stuff is coming up, as I am big web browser url poster.. this really helps because I am surprised how many times I repeat my self because ...

Everytime I see a cool thing to post I decide I have to wait till the next page on the forum comes up, all I have to do is wait for bilvon/hillhater etc to argue about climate change etc on almost any thread here now till the next page comes up. And here it is.. Hillhater, these people are wired for...

Was a pretty good article here, goes over the craziness of Elon and Tesla and touches on more of the events that less of the media likes to talk about. https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/elon-musk-s-twitter-meltdowns-are-symptoms-much-bigger-problem-ncna923611 Probably the best bit that describes...

I am so sick of you other guys talking about climate change in this thread, start a new thread if you want as this is just getting so annoying. Thanks for agreeing. I am thinking about contacting the admins here to see if I could get access to mod or something at least just for this thread and dele...

found several years worth of good data for a 50kW solar PV system in Ithaca, NY. 13.7% capacity factor for the lifetime. Located at an intentional community so it gets the best care, snow removal, cleaning. . https://www.sunnyportal.com/Templates/PublicPageOverview.aspx?page=aada1d7a-5767-424a-9275...

Yeah thread has really derailed talking about Mars. With everyone being so positive about Tesla/Musk, I feel its important to dig up the negative stuff that's out there, or maybe I am just an "asshole" :) When I look at execs at publically listed companies all I tend to see in them is the greed, in ...

This is the common mistake in confusing the words "energy" and "power" when we mean to say electricity. Most people are doing this. Most written articles are doing this. Which for Germany, electricity is only 21% of primary energy consumption. . 33% of ELECTRICITY is from renewables. Which includes...

I see a constant flow of this kind of stuff as I guess social media finds them entertaining.
Twitter and Facebook are just riddled with videos of people showing scary flaws in their Tesla's

Windows 10 just came out with a major update that just got released. And maybe all that spying of Microsoft on Windows 10 users has paid off, as they have finally offered a "built-in" dark-mode for the "Windows File Explorer" Before, the only way to make this happen was to use very dodgy hacks on Wi...

I still on some level root for Tesla, I just feel that its important to have some kind of critical opinion instead of turning every social media site into some kind of Tesla lovers fanboi site, seems foolish to be that way. Only thing I really don't like about Tesla car is the crushing hazard potent...

News on Elon Musk's fight with gov SEC fraud investigators https://youtu.be/IN6xeqdvJrI?t=9m46s CNBC upload their complete NBR - Nightly Business Report TV show nightly on Youtube in full quality. Also in the very same episode, they had a thing about how much the US tariffs are pushing up the cost o...

I think i am inclined to believe the photos of actual plants actively being constructed, than take the reported word of some random Chinese official about targets for 2030 ! And they need the power now..259 GW of it , night and day, ! That would be the equivalent of over 1000GW nameplate of solar.....

I have been trying for a year now to help him understand the relationship between energy/ economy/ population. Which for our purposes of discussion can generally be stated as being around 1:1:1. There is a slight decoupling of energy as we move more into a service economy, and slight efficiency gai...
