Knows a thing or two about Community Solar and REV4NY.

[Dennis L. Phayre @CommSolarCzar]

@pleyel1848 @m_jfrench @JeremyCooneyROC Ethereum is Proof of Stake, not POW, and BTC is not a currency.

Fear what you don't understand.

Add blockchain to the list of "explain first" before banning.

[Dennis L. Phayre @CommSolarCzar]

@m_jfrench @JeremyCooneyROC Local moratoriums on solar: regulate it; tax it; fear it (crops won't grow, it uses up all the sun).

Similar state logic, only reverse eminent domain applied to the grid

First explain RECs, POW, a "Tale of Two Grids", and then impose a ban on behalf of the public good

[Dennis L. Phayre @CommSolarCzar]

@m_jfrench @GovKathyHochul "Abundant hydroelectric power" in "an economically distressed area". Decentralized job creation using abundant, underutilized Renewable Energy capacity

Demand Response

Wall Street currency trading in Manhattan. Similar activity, running on Peak fossil fuel

Absolute Power

@m_jfrench Why should Bitcoin miners be treated differently than any other legal business? Are their taxes and high paying jobs less desirable?

What about Wall Street with it's massive servers running on carbon intense power Downstate, shouldn't we ban them too?

Nonsense

[Dennis L. Phayre @CommSolarCzar]

@m_jfrench Embedded carbon, taxed and tracked. Scope 3 GHGs
Bottle bill + on Blockchain.

Everything will be recycled. Every thing.

@SantiagoAuFund Painful at home but crippling abroad.

[Dennis L. Phayre @CommSolarCzar]

@zacurate @danson602 Simple answer.

It's a relevant question because the scale matters. Its like talking plants (the green kind that grow) and never having walked in the Redwoods. It changes your perspective meaningfully.

"Have you ever been experienced?"

Not a simple question or a simple answer.

@EltaKo7 @GridForward Grid-tied micro-grid; resilient, responsive, and self-sufficient

@m_jfrench Notice, there is not another human being or a semblance of nature in this video. Dead power poles replace trees.

@Dburman99 @PHMSA_DOT @CGAConnect An important reminder.

Dig Safe is more than a mere requirement to be met. It is lives and careers at stake, as well as large financial repercussions should something go wrong.

Measure twice, Call 811, measure again, and dig safely.

[Dennis L. Phayre @CommSolarCzar]

@m_jfrench High efficiency stardards should come first. All new or refurbished commercial roofs over a certain size (~ 50K sq ft) should be incentivized (required with just cause) to support onsite Renewables. PACE financing with insulation upgrades woul work well for retrofits.

[Dennis L. Phayre @CommSolarCzar]

@DaveGahl Are they using the term BTM to refer to all DG solar, including VDER? "750 megawatts (MW) of new behind-the-meter (BTM) solar facilities over the past year" is not just residential and small commercial.

[Dennis L. Phayre @CommSolarCzar]

@Marc_Compere @joshdr83 Try pushing your car the equivalent distance it goes on one gallon of gasoline.

You can't, you won't get one block.

No need to do the math, you can just feel the pain viscerally.

[Dennis L. Phayre @CommSolarCzar]

@SantiagoAuFund @LawrenceLepard I can't believe you just said that.
Yes, I can.

The ultimate Milkshake move.

Just the threat of doing so keeps the daily inflows into USD coming. Until it doesn't, then ...

[Dennis L. Phayre @CommSolarCzar]

@NewYorkISO We need hourly carbon intensity by node.

The real "E" in VDER is a Tale of Two Grids x 8760 @NYSDPS

[Dennis L. Phayre @CommSolarCzar]

@trader_ferg A Carbon Tax will help speed up the energy transition and slow down landfill growth. Otherwise, they are unsustainable dead ends for society.

Battery storage is the fastest growing segment in the renewable energy sector, projected to be a trillion dollar market. Here is a breakdown of the opportunities for developing and financing storage projects in the U.S. energy markets. https://t.co/tfqZMbhtre

@m_jfrench Demand Response reduces the need for dirty Peakers - saves ratepayers and lowers CO2.

Does Wall Street have mandatory curtailment?

Decentralized Finance
- Grid Smart
- high paying jobs

[Dennis L. Phayre @CommSolarCzar]

@Dburman99 @JasonBordoff @OSullivanMeghan @ColumbiaUEnergy @NARUC The energy transition is not an option; it is inevitable and highly disruptive.

Transitioning to Renewables on a marginal cost basis only ensures more volatility and unpredictability, particularly moving forward.

Bankability is Reliability
The ROI is Civilization itself
