In 2010 Texas produced ~12,000 units of energy total. Of that, they wasted/rejected about 6200 and used about 5700. In 2021 Texas produced 14,274 units of energy total. Of that, they wasted/rejected 9,217 and used 5057. 2010 ~12,000 6200/5700 2021 14,274 9217/5057 LLNL

RT @joshrogin: No matter what you think about USAID and the need to reform it, there’s no defense for cutting off almost all humanitarian a…

@isabelleboemeke Emissions first, peace and justice will follow.

@lyssasphere not very well.

@AngelicaOung Implosions take time... it's only been a couple of weeks (feels like years though doesn't it?) give him a hundred days. Gaza!?? smh.

@futurerunjake @umma_zainab_ Steinmetz and AC physics right here in front of me say you are very wrong... ignorance is bliss.

@pwrhungry You'd love this book... you can get much nicer "fuel pellets" from McMaster-Carr: 5/16x3/4 black oxide dowel pins... they are mostly iron! Not quite as heavy as MOX iirc. You might do the math for me? (one 10x10 fuel assembly = 90k tons of coal?) (AI did the math @.9ton/cubic m)

@futurerunjake @umma_zainab_ That is just silly Jake... You need to do some remedial science courses. The modern grid is high-voltage AC - low-voltage DC is useless there. There is no substitute for rotating mass (and no windmills do not count because they are also DC and all of that inertia is wasted. smh.

@KathrynPorter26 @energybants

@futurerunjake @umma_zainab_ Investing? No... spending and wasting is more like it. RE is the biggest scam ever perpetrated. This is a high-voltage AC world and low-voltage DC is nothing but a problem.

@kmartyn5 @JigarShahDC @Tesla And it takes 8 hours to fully charge a working electric forklift... "Stopped" equals downtime.

@walther_jeff @Atomicrod You are an animal abuser. You lack compassion empathy and understanding. The world is diminished by people like you.

@kmartyn5 @JigarShahDC @Tesla A fully loaded truck OTR weighs 80,000 lbs... An electric truck has 20,000 lbs of batteries - half it's payload. Key words "full RATED load" which was probably 20,000 lbs... the idea is to haul more potato chips and less soda... ha!

@energybants Most of AC physics came out of this head...

@walther_jeff @Atomicrod animal abuse is not OK. You are sick.

@Rainmaker1973 assholes.

@AngelicaOung 0.73 days per MW... that is pretty ambitious!

@destraynor and then mysteriously 5 minutes later all your neighbors show up at your house!

@AngelicaOung Animal stuff gets me down... about $8 dozen here now. My family was ruined by high feed prices... we never recovered from farming. Chickens are the most abused animals on the planet, hogs next. I'm going mostly vegan the day after my mom dies. I quit animal stuff years ago. Sad.

@energybants It can power many large industries, and millions of homes as a side hustle... low voltage is easy. It's the high voltage that distinguishes rotating sources from the low voltage non-rotating RE. Let's see some main transformer pictures!
