A pod with @duncan__c @cmetelitsa @james_mcginniss for DER-pilling the youths.

GE Vernova reportedly doesn’t need a single gas turbine order from a utility for the next 10 years and they’d still be sold out selling to data centers.
It feels like the data center world is loudly saying they’ll use nuclear while quietly placing orders for gas turbines. @ShanuMathew93 is there any good data on the gas turbine orders?.

This pod with @solar_chase is one of the most fascinating we’ve done. A wild story is unfolding in Pakistan. The country is now the globe’s third largest importer of Chinese solar panels, but none of the resulting projects are visible to the national utility.

The materials for solar panels are insanely more abundant than they want you to think.

@AlexLaplaza_ @JessePeltan That is a great idea. We were just talking about doing a steady stream of clips for weeks, but maybe a supercut makes sense. Glad you liked it, one of our favorites too 🙏.

We're getting tired of bad energy takes on twitter, so are introducing the DERTF Bad Narratives Jail. Sentences can range from a few days to life until reforms are seen. Fines can be issued as warnings leading up to stricter sentencing. See below for the first few up

Help @mission_data in the fight for open energy data from electric meters via Wifi. Utilities are crippling new "smart meter" functionality by limiting Wifi access and disadvantaging DERs. Support the campaign to win open, non-discriminatory data access!

While you may think this is just a halloween costume, it is in fact our policy leads real identity. @allisonwannop regularly performs feats of supDER human strength and intelligence to pave the way for DERs to happen at scale.
Happy Halloween from WonDERs Woman, harnessing the power of distributed energy resources to create a reliable grid and a clean, abundant energy future @DER_Task_Force

2020 forced us to go virtual & it turns out, that was a good thing! We've grown our community from ~30-person NYC meetups to over 250 engaged Slack members & 800 Twitter followers. Thanks to everyone who made this year great & supported the task force from all across the world ♥️

The reviews are in:. “A mass DER-pilling event of epic proportions”.- Thomas Edison. “I quit my boring consulting job the next day”.- @CasagrandeBilly . “Now that’s a crew I’d throw some shiners back with”.- @SecretaryPerry . Featuring: @JigarShahDC @JesseJenkins @leahstokes.
Introducing “Vehicle-2-Rave” (V2R) this Thursday in NY at the afterparty for Dervos from.@SOLARPUNKSCLUB + @DER_Task_Force . Why? Because solar-powered off-grid beats just hit harder, y'all. Learn more about our mini demo for portable DERs here:

Fascinating meetup tonight with Jesse Morris from @energywebx. Based on an analysis they did with BNEF data, customer spend on renewable energy +DERs will outpace utility spend on transmission/ distribution/ generation by 2030!

We’re back! This time with @nickvanosdol of “Keep Cool” (@workweekinc), who is… pretty damn cool himself. Nick has a refreshing perspective and lens on climate reporting: equal parts skeptical, optimistic, empathetic, and rational. If only more people could engage like he does.

Alright fam, let’s get to work and help the millions without power in Florida by donating to .@FootprintPrjct . so they can deploy more mobile, solar microgrids in impacted communities. Last time we raised $65k. Can we do better? We think so….

Thanks to the DER Task Force community for showing up and helping get this over the line, so that the people of #neworleans can get reliable power through DERs.
Unreal. Today, thanks to the incomparable work of @ArushiSF with @All4Energy @TogetherNOLA, the @NOLACityCouncil voted to allocate 💵$32 million in settlement funds to DERs and #vpps for community resilience. Let’s grow this work.

VCs that don't understand the reasons for nuclear decline and overlook that competitive power gen markets (don't they like markets?) introduced originally via PURPA in 1978 made it near impossible to build nuclear?. Right to jail
