Reverse Archimedes screw turbine, silently and elegantly doing its thing on the River Goyt, generating enough electricity to power 50-60 homes. Community owned and funded since 2008. #hydro #renewable #RenewableEnergy #peakdistrict

June 2023 = #wind 7.58%, #solar 6.77%, #hydro 5.45%, #nuclear 18.19%.
Ergo, good to have and maintain steady clean-air nuclear energy in the mix for #coal2nuclear transition.

This when compared to Site C in BC is exactly why it is so frustrating. Hydro is important base load but the at more than 10x the cost for a similar size project AND one that is funded predominantly by private capital. You can argue that AB might build out renewables faster under a different govt but they are still building them out faster than any other province so... Shame on us?

The nation is almost completely dependent on imported #fossilfuel for #energy despite having such vast resources.
Japan’s vast clean and #renewable energy resources include #solar, #wind, #hydro, #geothermal and more.
Wind and solar now generate record 12% of global electricity

Once up a time, Lake Onslow was called Dismal Swamp. In 1890 they dammed the Teviot River which feeds it and built a dam. In 1982 a new dam raised the water level by another 5m.
The government is continuing down the path of pumped hydro despite its estimated $16b price tag.
Is it a good idea? Are there workable alternatives? Because $16b would buy a lot of wind & solar, reducing the overall load on the grid.

An excellent idea that other countries especially the #Uk should follow.

When the grid doesn't need power, it uses surplus power to pump water back up to its reservoir. And it make this change in just a few seconds. Great to see this concept expanding.
The idea that there is no electricity when its not windy /sunny is something put about by gaslighters or the stupid.

92 followers · 162 posts · Server mastodon.energy@kb1lqd shared an awesome video about #blackstarting a #PowerGrid . This is a great overview of complexity of grids. Note that #wind and #solar often FOLLOW the grid frequency so cannot SET the frequency. That’s a big problem with 100% #renewables as you need some synchronizing generators which are maybe #hydro but often steam based like #coal #gas #nuclear .

We bike commute/walk to work, so overnight charge from a normal wall plug is more than enough for the driving we do, but even without a full charge; I don’t have range anxiety at ALL. Even sitting in traffic is like… no car anxiety anymore.
I am exited to drive for fun again! 🤩
