So what's the Chevron decision interaction with the new NRC? Does this mean that judges will now play a big role which reactors get licensed?

[Aurora Solar @aurorasolarinc]

2023 can be summed up by the following: 😵‍💫😄😅🙃🤩

But in case emojis don't do it justice, we made a TL; DR of the top trends that influenced the #solar industry in 2023. We'd be remiss if we didn't include #VirtualPowerPlants! #AuroraSolar #VPPs https://t.co/rf2Xjx6QqL

@duncancampbell I'd push back on the distinction you made between DR and VPP. Load shift, ancillary services, etc are part of core demand response

[Climate Tech Finance @ClimateTechFin]

@duncancampbell Heard of a bunch while I was still in building energy research, eg solid state, but not sure anything worth diving into

@planetmoney that AI generated episode was awesome, you guys sounded like haters at the end lol I get it, it's your jobs, but the irony of the AI being more self aware is 🤌

[Climate Tech Finance @ClimateTechFin]

Really cool play to get around the interconnection queue issue.. I'm not sure how this works at scale, connecting right into distribution does circumvent getting stuck with those big ticket transmission upgrades, but substations aren't cheap and will add up

[Canary Media @CanaryMediaInc]

.@Google and clean energy developer @EdpRenewables unveiled a novel approach to solving clean energy project challenges — what some are calling ​“synthetic” community solar. https://t.co/b2hPIxMKww

@cmchase_ Apparently it just ended there was a kid in the vehicle

@TornikeLaghidze 😬😬😬

Hey siri, where is FDU?

[Climate Tech Finance @ClimateTechFin]

Expect cpi to fall month over month tomorrow, below expectations. Leveraged long and some weeklies.

[Climate Tech Finance @ClimateTechFin]

@ciscodv @RockyMtnInst @GM @googlenest @SunPower Love this! Fair to say Ford and GM for EV resources, Nest and ohm connect for DR aggregations, span for panels, sunpower and sunrun for solar and a bit of BESS, and olivine, virtual peaker, and switchdon for the plumbing? No Tesla? Autogrid? Lots of players out there

[Climate Tech Finance @ClimateTechFin]

@TKavulla @ERCOT_ISO I feel like this understates it tbh, more like if that bartender rufid you the night before, it's not like the grid or ratepayers were complicit

[Climate Tech Finance @ClimateTechFin]

@midwestern_ope Worse out west, a yes without a follow-up is often a no

[Climate Tech Finance @ClimateTechFin]

@shaylekann The membranes part covers a whole host of things.

Also MOFs are kinda hot now bc dac but I think it's overblown. The experts in the field long ago looked at the science and went the other way

[Climate Tech Finance @ClimateTechFin]

@TornikeLaghidze In nominal dollars, but in real/2016 dollars you now have ~820

[Cisco DeVries @ciscodv]

@NatBullard Also demand response! Even bigger than batteries today.

[Nat Bullard @NatBullard]

An extraordinary day, in the most literal (and not really good) sense in the California power grid.
What's different this year, as the grid approaches all-time high demand: batteries.
Labor Day battery energy supplied in California, 2018-2022

@ProfitGreenly Nice thread 😃. I'm sure you know this but opening the door to a conditioned space probably costs you more than leaving the door closed if you're conditioning the space in that "direction" jacket losses are tiny in that range and you'd spend more to heat the closet than you save

[Climate Tech Finance @ClimateTechFin]

Just got another deposit bonus from $sofi @SoFi with this plus 2% interest in money accounts I have no idea why people still use old banking products. Sludge is real but @anthonynoto and team doing a great job, great future staff

[Climate Tech Finance @ClimateTechFin]

I'm not sure if this is it but we will probably need new turbine designs for new wind resources, like offshore
