@AirAndSeaShow @usairforce @foxnation But what about the B-2

[Jeff Silvan @JeffreySilvan]

Modern data centers use closed loop cooling systems, so there are no water requirements for cooling. The only water needed is for hotel services (toilets, sinks, etc.) for the staff that works there. They have no different impact on water usage than any other business that creates the same number of permanent jobs.

@DM__MIA Not a single city, besides NYC, LA, Chicago, and Washington DC

@DM__MIA Don't forget about Chicago and Washington DC, too

@gldng8grl @leadlagreport @MichaelPBento So you lost your job, you’re down to your last two or three months of savings, and even though your house value is down $100k from where you bought, you still have $300k of equity. You’re just going to stop paying your mortgage and let the bank foreclose, losing all equity?

@shawngorham So then over time you’ll either be a family that works or a family that owns. Sounds horribly repetitive of history in the most terrible way.

@REWorld How much battery storage do they plan to pair with it 👀

[Jeff Silvan @JeffreySilvan]

@texasrunnerDFW @shawngorham (But I agree with you even still)

[Jeff Silvan @JeffreySilvan]

@texasrunnerDFW @shawngorham That was my thought when I moved to Miami… and then home prices doubled 🤦‍♂️

@REWorld The interconnection process is the biggest holdup to renewable energy deployment

[Jeff Silvan @JeffreySilvan]

I've heard of several attempts at this before. It always becomes a struggle because:
1. Behavior of cells/modules at potentially very different SOH across a system creates controls and performance issues
2. Bankability of a system - it becomes very difficult to provide a performance guarantee on this type of system, which the banks funding the loans for IPP battery projects would generally need to see in place.
3. Getting past item 2, given the weakened capacity and shortened remaining life of the batteries, the discount required compared to new would need to be massive to make it "worth it" for an IPP to use this technology, leaving no room to profit.

If a company can solve those problems, they stand to be wildly successful in the next 5-10 years as more systems and EVs start hitting end of (current) life.

@jon_jeckell @DavidFerris Most grid storage providers consider 60-70% state of health to be end of life

@NFT_GOD I am happy to have crypto spammers deboosted

[Jeff Silvan @JeffreySilvan]

@zachmelloh26 @DecadeInvestor None, besides the general management fee on my account

[Jeff Silvan @JeffreySilvan]

@DecadeInvestor Yes. My financial advisor has superior products that I can’t buy through my personal brokerage account. Example: I’m in a levered product with 30% downside buffer while giving me 1.2x upside up to 15% over 12 months

[Jeff Silvan @JeffreySilvan]

@Mac6Pk @girdley That’s not true for the vast majority of the ICW. Most of the ICW is 13-18 ft deep. Vessels carrying enough bulk to make water transport more cost effective than land transport will draft more than that and will not safely navigate narrow channels and 50-80’ wide bridge openings

@beaniemaxi Pokémon is also a long standing brand with exponentially more recognition, and the cards have a playability/reusability aspect, too

[Jeff Silvan @JeffreySilvan]

@elonmusk This shouldn’t be a controversial take
