Stellar Energy totally upends energy availability and use. When solar & wind generation are stored in batteries, and the system is oversized enough to bridge the longest no generation periods.

Instead of how do we minimize energy use to how do we maximize use of available energy. It's a total inversion of energy use, and will lead to great increases in health.

"Peaker plants are power facilities that run only during peak demand — on the coldest days of winter or the hottest days of summer — typically less than 5% of the year. Environmentalists point to peaker plants as prime examples of environmental injustice because most are located in poor communities. Activists held an “early retirement party” on May 3 for a peaker plant on the Williamsburg waterfront in anticipation of the power authority’s report."

Urine-based green hydrogen breakthrough slashes electricity demand by 27%…

#Hydrogen is seen as one of the most promising #cleanenergy sources of the future. It burns cleanly, produces only water as a by-product, and offers a versatile way to decarbonize sectors where #electrification falls short—like heavy industry, aviation, and shipping...

Ashland, Oregon, passed a carbon pollution impact fee for new homes, incentivizing building with all-electric appliances. ...This is the first actionable policy passed in Oregon since the Ninth Circuit decision on Berkeley’s policy chilled the building electrification movement (see California Part I above). Cities across Oregon are taking note and we’re excited to help them pass similar policies.

The Canadian government provided at least C$29.6 billion in financing to fossil fuel and petrochemical companies in 2024, with most of it directed toward the over-budget Trans Mountain pipeline, according to estimates from Environmental Defence Canada.

This is money that should have been used to encourage more #electrification, #microgrid expansion, #energyefficiency measures, etc. #fossilfools #pipelines
