If you can have a net-zero economy, then there's no more need to conserve.
Cleo Abram • The Big Misconception About Clean Energy
Tesla may be a car company today, but Tesla won’t be a car company in 15 years. Rather, Tesla will be a full stack, vertically integrated clean energy company. They may still produce cars, but cars will represent a fraction of total profits.
Kyle Samani • Tesla Is Not A Car Company — Kyle Samani
When you have some success, the feeling of being an imposter can be real. Who am I fooling? But when you create things that only you — with your unique talents and experience — can do, then you are absolutely not an imposter. You are the ordained. It is your duty to work on things that only you can do.
Kevin Kelly • 103 Bits of Advice I Wish I Had Known
I found something else surprising about previous energy transitions. Each one later enabled new modes of transport and new materials which were very hard to conceive of during its early phases. In each of the past transitions, the energy source unlocked new distribution technologies and materials that helped drive more adoption for the energy... See more
Tsung Xu • The transition to clean energy is accelerating
Importantly, autonomous transport should save consumers both time and costs. The average car owner in the US spends more than 420 hours per year driving—more than 10 work weeks.
Tasha Keeney • Attention Required! | Cloudflare
Resiliency is DERs killer app. I’d like to do a study of how much search traffic from users asking “how can I install a battery in my house?” spikes after wildfires in CA, hurricanes in NY, or big freezes in Texas once again knock out the power grid. This is a now universal problem and overtime, resiliency benefits will lead to more and more users... See more
James McGinniss • AOE Part II: DERs and Local Resilience
The key to the value of DERs is that they make electricity demand more controllable. With energy generation and storage scattered throughout distribution grids, grid operators have a way to move energy around, both geographically and temporally, without firing up more power plants. They can absorb extra energy if there’s a dip in demand or produce... See more
Volts.wtf • Rooftop solar and home batteries make a clean grid vastly more affordable
Tesla recognized the complex supply chain in the automotive industry and revolutionized it through vertical integration across its factory, including battery and electric motor production. At its recent AI day, Tesla revealed its in-house AI training chip (called the D1 Dojo chip). The chip, based on itself, would be ranked in the top 10 super... See more
