New battery record of 10.03 GW peak discharge rate on the California ISO grid on Tuesday, May 20, 2025! 10 GW=41% of the yearly average 24.3 GW of demand on the grid in 2024 Batteries are 4-h, so 10 GW = 40 GWh of storage = 6.9% of 582 GWh average daily demand on grid in '24
67 straight and 108 of 140 (77%) days in 2025 with >100% #WindWaterSolar on @California_ISO grid for part of the day, for an avg of 4.7 h/day (v 2.9 in '24 and 0.7 in '23). 55% of all demand in '25 met by WWS v 51.5% in '24 and 45.3% in '23. Gas down 22.4% v '24 and 44% v '23

Our campaign finance system is totally corrupt — impacting BOTH political parties. If we want a government representing working families, not billionaires, we need to overturn Citizens United and move to the public funding of elections.

From Climeworks CEO, capturing 1 tonne-CO2 requires 5,000-6,000 kWh https://t.co/znX6RJPT8j But 1 tonne CO2 results from producing ~3,300 kWh (~120 PWh/y world end-use demand/36.8 GT-CO2/y emitted) So DAC needs 52-82% more energy than used to put CO2 in air in the first place

Climeworks’ Iceland capture plant fails to cover its own emissions “Direct capture is a scam, carbon capture is a scam, blue hydrogen is a scam, and electrofuel is a scam. These are all scam technologies that do nothing for the climate or air pollution” https://t.co/EP23Rh3qWF
