The "world's largest" battery storage facility has been on fire at the Moss Landing power plant in Monterey County, CA for about 12 hours. The owner/operator @VistraCorp has not posted on X about safety concerns, evacuations, or highway closures. 💰🥇 https://t.co/BRe0hTtZvK
Wind turbines erected in 2019 are now required by council vote to be removed at end of 20 year contract. Public pressure on decision makers matters. @robertwrand

Will Thompson questions the legality of Birch Solar, LLC 300MWac to be located near Lima, Ohio. Read the Court's Power Siting Board Case 2023-1011. Even better...read his substack https://t.co/8zK4toYOts

One of the best writers on utility scale solar in the USA. J.W. Thompson in Ohio. He successfully opposed an unscrupulous energy developer and won. He's a good egg. https://t.co/8zK4toYOts
Germany has spent more than $75OB on its failed energiewende. The results are obvious: Germany’s industrial base is collapsing, and last week, the coalition government collapsed at the same moment the country was hit by a wind drought. Germany provides a vivid example of how bad energy policy leads to failing industry, and now, failed government. #germany #energiewende #wind #solar #alternativeenergy #greenenergy #climate #climatechange #climatepolicy
PFAS may be in the anti-glare/anti-soil coating applied to surface glass of solar panels. PFAS is found in the protective plastic coating on electrical wires. Contamination of ground water and soil may increase on/near solar facilities. NYS was notified. https://t.co/CJOvsaAYE4
Legislation to regulate PFAS contamination of soil and ground water from the solar energy industry may be slow. Luckily, Rep. Holly Cheeseman, R-East Lyme, Connecticut asks an important question to test wells that may have contamination. @PolicyEngineer

@PolicyEngineer@pwrhungry@TheFrackingGuy Solar puts may profit from project underperformance and/or failure. Developers want you to believe solar is simple. Put up panels. Crank out electrons.
Oak Hill Solar 1 and Oak Hill Solar 2 approved 2019. As of September 2024 still NOT constructed/operational. Follow the money.
@PolicyEngineer@pwrhungry@TheFrackingGuy Kaufmann, pshaw. Check out Philip K. Ryan - NY Green Bank Advisory Board and Chairman Swiss Re Americas which offers solar puts. Mr. Ryan may bet that solar projects will fail. He, and Swiss RE investors, may profit handsomely.

Due to safety concerns State Farm to remove EV chargers from its properties.
Should rural towns adopt regulations for EV chargers?

NY Office of Renewable Energy Siting ("ORES") website provides a map of permitted applications. It was last updated on February 6, 2024. The website does not provide a date when it was last updated. Respectfully request that @NYSDPS provide updates. https://t.co/Ul48ocPFca
Solar, wind, and battery energy resources don't produced electricity as promised. Taxpayer dollars are used to diminish farmlands, industrialize rural communities that don't want expansive energy facilities, and destabilize the grid. #gonuclear
At this week's @housebudgetGOP hearing, I testified that the costs of Biden-Harris's government-dictated green energy policies
1) have been enormous so far
2) would have been catastrophic if not for resistance
3) will be apocalyptic if not stopped
Here's every moment.
