I created a space for people to make connections and learn from each other. I call it Grok.Town and plan to start up a Lemmy instance at that domain, but for now it's a space on Matrix with a few rooms to chat and get to know one another. Check it out @ https://matrix.to/#/#groktown:matrix.org

  • There's incentive to move to solar and batteries to avoid the rate increases due to solar installations reducing billable power delivery.

  • Unfortunately they're also producing and burning the most coal. Hopefully they can stop that really soon.

  • Same vehicle in China costs ¥139,800 Renminbi (CNY) [$19,066 US Dollars (USD)]

    In Europe, €45,000 Euros (EUR) [$46,075 US Dollars (USD)]

    Tariffs aren't the answer, they're building these in China for both markets.

  • Used EVs are looking like not as good a deal as used ICE vehicles due to the battery replacement costs.

  • Key influences on residential photovoltaic solar panel adoption in the United States

    Jump

  • Our research includes linear regression, principal component regression, and spatial error models to provide empirical evidence for the relationship between the adoption rates and socio-economic, geographical, and technical factors while identifying characteristics of adopter groups. The results suggest that the relative advantage factors – electricity prices and solar irradiation – play the most significant role across all regions and market segmentations. Statewide policy indicators are the second most significant factor, followed by socio-economic variables on employment status, remote working, car ownership, and property value. Our results indicate that homeowners do not only differ in their circumstances but also in their motivations.

  • Those all seems like very workable options.

  • I can't believe that none of these car companies believe that most people don't like the large computer monitor mounted to their dashboard. It looks like shit. It's distracting. It doesn't work for the use case better than other options.

  • Researchers find solar panels increase city temperatures and wind speeds

    Jump

  • The theoretical explanation:

    When RPVSPs are installed on roofs, they absorb a significant amount of solar energy, converting some of it into electricity but also generating heat in the process. This heat is released into the surrounding air, leading to an increase in air temperature around the panels. Moreover, the elevated installation of RPVSP creates two hot surfaces: the top surface of the panels and the underside surface. As air flows over these RPVSPs, it picks up heat more efficiently than it would from typical building or ground surfaces. Observational studies in the literature have shown that areas with RPVSP arrays can experience higher daytime air temperatures compared with reference sites without RPVSP.

    In essence, the heat that would be absorbed by the building (requiring more energy for cooling the interior) is instead absorbed by the panels and conducted to the surrounding air which creates a convective heat exchange cycle on a city wide scale. It would be interesting if this were compared to awnings (and pegodas) that have been in use for centuries for passive cooling of space in and around buildings.

    Further, It seems like this would call for the use of phase changing material to absorb the heat from the back of the solar panels which would reduce this intensification of the urban heat island effect as the heat energy would be use in the phase change process during the day and slowly released in the reverse phase change at night without conducting more heat into the building.

    None of this seems to have any real consequence on the global warming effects of greenhouse gasses (primarily natural gas [methane] and Carbon Dioxide). But it is a more accute concern that is more likely to be addressed through local ordinances, laws, and regulations.

  • Nearly 80% Of New EVs Are Leased: Dealer Data

  • Why is lease financing strange here?

  • Fossil Fuel Interests Are Working to Kill Solar in One Ohio County. The Hometown Newspaper Is Helping.

    Jump

  • I'm not surprised by any of it. I live in a pocket of New Jersey that has a group fighting against offshore wind farms funded mostly by Real Estate agents and existing energy interests claiming that adding supply from a new source of power is going to increase the market rate of electric power. It's exhausting to listen to and read about their bullshiting.

  • Car dealers renew their opposition to EV mandates

    Jump

  • Dealerships are also concerned about the direct to consumer model that has shown to be viable and the inevitable tide of Chinese manufacturers taking over the market.
