Thank a lineman today, and every day.

#BREAKING: Lineman Kyle Ferree, 26, died during routine reconductoring work in Oldham County, KY—leaving behind his wife Hunter, two young daughters, and a third child on the way. His IBEW crew honored him with a “Last Call,” the emotional final-radio tradition now going viral.…



These people can't be serious. People don't even know the equipment that powers their home 🤣. Get off ur phone u bums. Don't touch grass, go outside and stare at the pole in front of ur house please.

Elon Musk isn’t making transformers. He’s revealing them. We laughed when he made flamethrowers. We blinked when he drilled a tunnel. We shrugged when he launched a car into orbit. Then he synced Doge memes with planetary events. But now the mask slips. Not Teslas that…

Hitting extra hard today.

The politics of the grid, the economics of the grid, and the engineering of the grid, are three circles with very very very little overlap.

🔥This week saw 72 hours of extreme temps in the Eastern US — here’s how they impacted electricity prices in 60 seconds. It was a clear reminder: summer risk isn’t going anywhere, and cooling for those new demand centers only gets more difficult as temperatures rise.

The falling out was inevitable. You don’t land rockets backwards or get cars to drive themselves by suffering fools gladly. This interview with @SharylAttkisson was taped on March 27th.

Then how do you know when to deploy that storage and if that storage can be deployed safely without messing up some other constraint? If the storage is only useful on some set of hot summer day what guarantees that it is worth the investment? How do you ensure that the storage is…

This quote from Teddy Roosevelt is one of my favorites "A man's usefulness depends upon his living up to his ideals insofar as he can. It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. All daring and courage, all iron endurance of misfortune, make for a finer,…


I have a theory @elonmusk is pushing @JessePeltan content to bring attention back to Tesla and away from politics. Overall, I slightly lean towards Jesse. I'm not sure he ever interconnected any DER and worked with utilities, but I agree DER is our way to "Type 1"

While inertia bros are dumb because they are using that word in ways that they don't understand to slander renewables that doesn't mean there aren't a gazillion of legitimate well-known additional ways that inverters can fail in the power system. Dot your i's and cross your t's…

(1) With the blackout in Spain, much has been said of late about generator operating characteristics, system frequency, and stability. I’d like to take a bit of time and offer some simple engineering relationships I think are useful to keep in mind when speaking on these topics.
