A LiO² battery is also known as a lithium-air battery (Li for lithium, O² for oxygen). Unlike the Li-ion or LFP batteries in EVs today, a lithium-air battery uses oxygen ions to store energy, not lithium ions. This difference means their internal structure and chemistry needs to be entirely different from established battery technology.... See more

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

In terms of its function on the grid, the best way to think of Form’s battery is not as storage, but as the equivalent of a carbon-free natural gas plant. Rather than methane, it runs on renewable energy as fuel, but from the grid’s perspective, it provides basically the same service, which is reliable, dispatchable generation that can run for 100...

A token is a necessary element of a system if the use of any other in its place would damage the system’s normal functioning.

Tesla Motors was created to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport. If we clear a path to the creation of compelling electric vehicles, but then lay intellectual property landmines behind us to inhibit others, we are acting in a manner contrary to that goal.

Importantly, DER deployment is rapidly increasing – according to Wood Mackenzie’s second annual U.S. DER Outlook, we’re expected to reach 253 GW of DER capacity and demand flexibility potential by 2026. The sheer mass of behind-the-meter renewable energy coming online will fundamentally alter the nature of our electricity supply.

1/ Wealth is a claim on other people's time
There are a lot of theories on what money is, on what wealth is.
Economists have written very long books on this. It is debt, it is the evolution of barter, it is an information system, etc, etc.
All of these are true... See more
