Freeing Energy

The Freeing Energy book unveils ten big ideas, including the implications of solar being a technology (and not a fuel) and how local energy systems like rooftop solar are actually cheaper than large, utility-scale renewable projects. Check out all ten. FreeingEnergyBook.com

The biggest thing I learned while writing Freeing Energy is that solar and batteries are TECHNOLOGIES, not fuels. This means that batteries will see relentless, non-stop improvements in price, performance & size. Case in point below. WOW. thedriven.io/2023/04/21/wor…

I loved being a guest on @adammarkel's podcast Change Proof. He is a master interviewer, and we were effortlessly able to talk about some really heartfelt and powerful topics. adammarkel.com/the-spirit-of-…

The US gave birth to the modern global solar industry. However, solar manufacturing leadership was ceded to Europe, Japan, and most recently, China. The Inflation Reduction Act will change all that. The US is poised to be a solar powerhouse once again! pv-tech.org/how-the-us-can…

France is requiring all large parking lots to be covered with solar. France led the world in nuclear, but that isn't their future. France is once again leaning into next-generation energy. This time, even cleaner and more reliable. wapo.st/3RThZaP

My latest podcast: @FREYRBattery may not be a household name in the US, but its CEO, Tom Jensen has a vision for building the most efficient and most environmentally smart battery plants in the world, including a new $3 billion plant here in the US! freeingenergy.com/podcast-tom-je…

@JamesHewettDC Good point!

@FreeingEnergy Really upsetting that neither position addresses the lack of transmission capacity which leads to this trade off in the first place. No one is really thinking about what happens to market to market GHG accounting once there is significant transfer capacity…

Regulated vs deregulated markets. Does the grid need more #nuclear? Do #renewables lower reliability? This article from NY Times doesn't answer the questions but has some good color on the debates. nytimes.com/2022/12/20/bus…

📍NEW >> DOE has just released a new resource to help families, homeowners, and consumers better understand the savings and tax credits available to them through @POTUS’ #InflationReductionAct. Learn more now and SAVE! energy.gov/policy/article…

Why doesn't every parking lot get a #solarpower upgrade? We have so many solutions to this crisis. Stop the dealys and implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateEmergency #Climate #energy #renewableenergy #renewables #GreenNewDeal

Big thanks, Michael, for going deep on the critical and timely issue of #USenergy generation, resiliency, and cost. #localenergy #FreeingEnergy #podcast #inflationreductionact #energy Listen here: forbes.com/sites/michaelg…

It was an honor to be a guest on the @futuresinfocus podcast. #Localenergy is like farm-to-table for electrons. It's a lot like the shift from once-dominant mainframe computers to nearly ubiquitous personal computers.

Solar citizen Dave just went #Christmasshopping for his local #sustainability coordinator friends in Florida. We hope this leaves you feeling inspired to continue educating people about the #FreeingEnergy Revolution! #solar #localenergy #christmasgift #happyholidays #grateful

Solar panels have a dual purpose in this orchard. They produce clean electricity while shading apple trees from hail, frost and heavy rain. We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateEmergency #climate #energy #renewables #GreenNewDeal

@JohnBerger_CEO @SunnovaEnergy @bnussey So good to have you!

Earlier this week, @SunnovaEnergy's CMO Michael Grasso & I were invited to join @bnussey on the @FreeingEnergy Podcast to discuss #Sunnova's vision to build the first customer-owned, #solar microgrid neighborhood in California. Full conversation below. bit.ly/3YhKfqp

This network, along with its pioneering American Made Solar Prize, was instrumental in my #startup a truly incredible part of my professional journey. Learn more here if you’re passionate about #cleanenergy: lnkd.in/erM_rgG7 #network #betterfuture #energyrevolution

The program is designed to welcome #innovators and #entrepreneurs to connect them to national labs, other startups, and investors. It offers mentoring and huge cash prizes.

It was a pleasure to speak at the @AMCprizes Network Summit recently. The American-Made program is funded by the @ENERGY (DOE) with a mission to “supercharge the clean energy revolution”.

@SolarPowerWorld covered @InventionsSolar exciting news: the company has been awarded several foundational patents on C3, the configurable current cell. solarpowerworldonline.com/2022/12/solar-… #solar #manufacturing

One Energy CEO, Jereme Kent, talks about how OE is enabling the customer-centric power grid of the future on @FreeingEnergy podcast. Listen here: Podcast #023: Jereme Kent - Can small-scale distributed wind allow companies to embrace clean, local energy? ecs.page.link/KXRJK
