A long time ago, I remember occasionally (thank God) seeing an article where some “idiot” put a solar install on the north side of a building (Northern Hemisphere). In my mind, though, I thought that when solar was really popular and cheap, people would start throwing it on the north sides of roofs. Even though […]

Lectron makes EV charging adapters and EVSE home chargers at affordable prices. These adapters provide cross compatibility between the US AC charging standard J1772 and Tesla’s AC chargers on the North American Charging Standard (NACS) as well as an adapter that allows Teslas to charge at CCS1 stations.

Rail requires a lot more tunnels, and as the data shows, any time you are digging tunnels, fat-tailed risks abound and projects operate more slowly.

Both Shell and bp are getting involved in EV charging networks as they look to transition from oil and production to the green economy.

When you are watching a transition closely, you can see, hear, and smell the changes as they take place. Those who don’t will wake up one morning and suddenly notice that there are more electric cars on the road, the roads are quieter, and the smell of the air is so much sweeter. Pointing out […]

In our latest Short-Term Energy Outlook, we expect that increased US power generation from new renewables capacity — mostly wind and solar — will reduce generation from both coal-fired and natural gas-fired power plants in 2023 and 2024. With the new solar and wind projects coming online this year, we forecast these two energy sources […]
