Bringing Clean Energy to Rural Africa
In response to a friend in South Africa who wanted my opinion on a business plan to bring fuel cells and solar PV to rural Africa, I wrote: Very interesting. Certainly the solar product with batteries makes sense. I think …

Use of Water in Generating Electricity
Those of us trying to make sense of the validity of renewables versus fossil fuels are forced to deal with many different parameters. For instance, we often talk about the externalities of coal, i.e., the cost factors that are not …

I just got back from a fairly vigorous seven-mile hike my 2GreenEnergy financial adviser. This time we did Gaviota Peak, absolutely stunning, overlooking the deep blue Pacific. The hike had about 2200 feet of altitude gain, which may not impress you …
