  • California zeroes out funding for world’s ‘largest virtual power plant’

    Jump

  • Dive Brief:

    • California lawmakers approved a sweeping energy package at the end of the legislative session that does not include funding to continue two grid reliability programs, including a virtual power plant advocates believe is the largest in the world.
    • Earlier this year, the state faced a $12 billion budget shortfall, and the two programs were in limbo for months as legislators negotiated down to the wire. The bills awaiting Gov. Gavin Newsom’s signature after the session closed Saturday include proposals aimed at bringing down energy costs, expanding the Western grid and codifying virtual power plants in longterm planning.
    • Advocates say gutting the Demand Side Grid Support and Distributed Electricity Backup Assets programs threatens to undermine the state’s progress toward a more resilient grid that can respond to system stress by calling on batteries, electric vehicles, rooftop solar panels, smart thermostats and other energy resources that are increasingly common in homes, businesses and institutions.

  • What to do with a hotwired fridge (no thermostat) -- make it a wine cooler, beer fridge, or what?

  • You could even use the 'smart' temp sensor and plug to power it on when the temp rises above the desired value, but probably won't be buyable in your local hardware store... Also, R-134a and other refridgerants are vety potent greenhuse gases, so maybe don't release that...

  • You made me reade this article, which I dismissed as a clickbait before, but I cannot find it. Where is that implication?

  • Plant a tree, let it be, don't mow around it, leave the leaves, and when it dies or breaks, also leave it there, it's all alive!

  • No, I want to plant trees because it helps to have a resilient ecosystem that's more safe in case of a cascade collapse. I want to plant trees because they provide shade in the summer. Because they improve the soil. Because they help prevent floods. Because they give birds food and shelter. Because they are fucking PRETTY.

    Can we start thinking about the whole thing instead of acting as if i single problems that are not interconnected?

    Plant some fucking trees, even if they are not just carbon sequestration batteries.

  • That's because this video is an undisclosed ad probably. Also, sorry, I'm not really willing to take advice from someone who lives in Northern America with it's completely fucked ecosystem, says to be 'a researcher' and still makes dumb quips about how the genetic research restrictions in Europe are 'silly' and 'too much'
