I took a nice hike with a friend last weekend, during which we had lots of time to talk about the important issues of the day; we’re out there long enough that there is no reason to rush from one …
Can Solar Thermal Compete in the Pantheon of Renewable Energy “Flavors?” Read More »
Here’s an interesting article on concentrated solar power, based on an interview with one of the engineers at the Ivanpah plant near the California/Nevada border near Las Vegas. Readers may be curious about the minute-to-minute tactics associated with managing the heliostats …
Curious About the Operation of Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) Plants? Read More »
Here’s a 3D animation of a solar thermal tracking system that a reader sent me just now. There is no doubt in my mind that solar thermal hot water heating has a great deal of merit; in fact, I really …
Here’s a fairly noncontroversial statement: Those who publish alarming reports on unintended environmental consequences of cutting-edge renewable energy technologies have a responsibility to ensure their numbers are correct. Yet astonishingly, every major newspaper in the U.S. published the Associated Press’s …
I accidentally happened across the note I wrote following one of the many hundreds of calls I made over a period of two or three months earlier this year. In my effort to research the appetite of the largest U.S. …
