With about 17 million British Thermal Units (BTU) worth of energy in a uranium pellet, it's no wonder that many are now looking at nuclear energy as a key piece to the clean energy puzzle. During 2021, 19% of the uranium delivered was purchased under spot contracts at a weighted-average price...

"code-makes-it-impossible-for-diy-systems-to-be-compliant" Of course, that's the way they do things

How they see our homes.

More often then not 'creating jobs' just wastes resources and produces nothing. http://web.archive.org/web/20220331132850/https://www.strike.coop/bullshit-jobs/ A bullshit job or pseudowork is meaningless or unnecessary wage labour which the worker is obliged to pretend to have a purpose...

They could. Solar is no more complicated then car stereo. If they can learn to pimp their rides they can learn to put up some solar too.

No this is, https://www.amazon.com/male-extension-cord/s?k=male+to+male+extension+cord

Better article with some numbers www.pv-magazine.com/2022/01/03/worlds-largest-floating-pv-plant-goes-online-in-china In my opinion solar PV farms of any type are just plain stupid. Hope America knows better. They say everyone needs a roof over their head. I say no more stupid plywood tar...

Too much of a coincidence "a friend bought a house" that had all this cool shit.... And your on a solar power forum full of electrical nerds. No, its yours and you wanted to post it without actually taking credit.

Europe has such an "energy crisis" that at 3am you can see it from Mars. In Europe, street lighting consumes a significant amount of electricity: there are more than 56 million street lighting luminaires in operation, with an estimated electricity consumption of 35 TWh. 35,000,000,000,000...

LMAO ! This is the funniest ever.

The Covid shutdowns showed us how pointless so many things are. Like the DMV sticker mafia, the world kept ticking forward with 'expired' stickers on cars. "Un registered vehicle" Ya sure, the day that thing 'expires' if I abandoned the vehicle in the middle of the highway no one would know...

The best thing is to get two dishwashers and put an end to almost all dish handling. One is for clean dishes and you keep taking them out and using them and putting them in the dirty dishwasher until its full then turn it on now they are all clean so the other one thats almost empty now is...

The way to defeat mass surveillance is with random noise. Generate random web browsing traffic to obfuscate actual browsing behavior to avoid profiling through 3rd party observation. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chaff/jgjhamliocfhehbocekgcddfjpgdjnje?hl=en I also had an idea to...

I never said don't tell future potential buyers. Might sell for more if it has capability for use as home power supply and solar chargeable. And car insurance and especially the DMV, they are not 'people' , more like the ticks you find on the dog. I can see those DMV parasites wanting payment...

An electric shock is like a toe stubbing, you learn for a wile to be careful. I am a fan of safety glasses when messing with electric that can send a spark at my eye if I mess up. Also one time I had a lead acid battery explode. I was starting a riding mower and the terminal by the missing...

No one gets the argument of what gives those mofos the right to demand money, thats why they back themselves up with threats of violence to get their money, without governments "right to violence" who would pay ? I am really not that die hard a libertarian, tax my income ect do your thing but...

Here is used marine AC condenser, https://www.ebay.com/itm/374176491361 $111 I have to study more, I still want to build an Ice Battery.

The $1 billion Comanche 3 coal-burning power plant has been down , and the utility has revealed some details about what's being done to fix it. https://mountaintownnews.net/2021/03/04/colorados-last-coal-plant/

IMO off grid as much DC as possible. What poor reliability ? A few wires in a cabin how hard is that ? AC motors are less efficient than DC motors. In fact, the DC motor is 30% more efficient than AC motors due to the secondary magnetic field being generated from the permanent magnets...

There is no form of energy stupidity that even comes close to the ethanol in the gasoline scam. U.S. corn-based ethanol worse for the climate than gasoline ... https://www.reuters.com › business › environment › us-co... Feb 14, 2022 — Department of Energy, found that ethanol is likely at least...

Anyway great news boaters with 32V systems. The OutBack Flex Max 80 charge controller settings tune down enough from 36 V default to charge 32V systems. So much reading, wasn't until real world testing today I saw its fine.

All this stuff in the news about "energy crisis" wile everyone runs a fan to blow the heat from the AC into the atmosphere wile simultaneously using more electricity to heat water. Oh wait I forgot the news can never talk about solutions to anything they just run their mouths chose this or that...

Just discovered this https://www.circuit-diagram.org/editor/ I searched www.google.com/search?q=make+wiring+diagram+online That's cool when I have time I am going to make a diagram of my own solar stuff.

I would use sailboat e-motors. The smallest ones. 2x6 or 12hp would move your boat just fine on a lake. Big HP is needed to run inlets safely and storms in but on a lake don't need it. https://www.elcomotoryachts.com/product-category/electric-inboards/ At the 7 minute mark they claim 100 miles...

In the car stereo world they put large capacitors on the DC side for when the bass hits. These big capacitors store electricity as instant power available for your amplifier. If the amplifier draws more current than is available from the electrical system directly, the capacitor covers the...

Playing with electricity with wet feet is not the best idea.
