Gaia's CallTapping the Sun's Potential for a Regenerative FutureImagine greeting the sun each morning, not just as a source of warmth but as a symbol of untapped potential. That’s what I’ve done for over two years which is what led me to writing today’s article/podcast. Every day, Earth receives an astonishing 173,000 terawatts of energy from the sun. Yet, humanity's annual energy consumption is only around 20 terawatts. In other words:A single day’s sunlight provides far more than we need to power our entire planet for a year. This raises a simple but profound question: Why ar...

Choses à Savoir SCIENCESL’IA du futur fonctionnera-t-elle à la lumière ?Et si, demain, l’intelligence artificielle ne fonctionnait plus à l’électricité, mais… à la lumière ? C’est l’idée audacieuse d’une équipe de chercheurs américains, persuadés que les photons pourraient un jour remplacer les électrons dans les calculs informatiques. Car si l’IA progresse à une vitesse fulgurante, elle consomme aussi une énergie colossale. Les data centers dédiés à son entraînement engloutissent déjà des térawatts d’électricité, au point que certains experts y voient une impasse énergétique. D’où cette piste lumineuse, au sens propre comme au figuré.À l’Université de Floride, des ingénieurs ont...

Coordinated with FredrikThe Solar Pill: Embracing Abundance and the True Limits of EnergyWe often talk about energy in terms of quantity—barrels of oil, cubic feet of gas, or kilowatt-hours of electricity. But according to advanced thermodynamic analysis, that focus misses the crucial point: the true measure of resource usability is exergy.Exergy, often termed “available energy” or “useful work potential,” quantifies the maximum theoretical work a system can perform as it reversibly reaches equilibrium with its environment (the “dead state”). While energy is conserved according to the First Law of Thermodynamics, exergy measures energy quality. The reality is stark: in every real-world process, exergy is destroyed, highlighting the practical limi...

California in FocusNewsom Proclaims ‘Clean Energy Victory’ as CA Energy Costliest in Mainland U.S. California Governor Gavin Newsom proclaimed a “major clean energy victory” with a tenfold increase in battery capacity as the state’s energy costs rose to the highest in the contiguous United States, or double the national average. Only Hawaii, the island state in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, has more expensive energy. Newsom announced the state has 10,379 megawatts of battery storage during Earth Week. Given that the state consumes 259.5 terawatts of energy per year — or approximately 711,000 megawatts of energy per day — that’s enough capacity to run the state for 21 minutes.

Interchange RechargedThe Future of Solar StorageYou can develop enough renewable energy to power the world, but without energy storage systems, those developments are rendered somewhat moot. To achieve President Biden’s target of 90% renewables by 2035, the US needs an additional 9 terawatts of solar storage.What do our current storage solutions look like? Are batteries leading the charge?To answer those questions we turn to Rebecca Ciez, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University.We look at the current storage options. Are batteries powerful enough to deliver power during outages or periods of no sunlight? Rebecca talks about the...

Solving the energy crisis is very important to me. It’s what led me to start Ecovent in 2013, and what ultimately made me choose Soluna as my new weapon to attack this problem.
Asynchronous or Batch Compute is going to change the world. Video Rendering, AI, NLP, Machine Learning, Deep Data Modeling and Blockchain has already shown a glimpse of this – but that’s only the tip of the iceberg. The thing is, this new world needs a lot of very specific computing power, and those computers need energy.

Long NowSaul Griffith: Climate Change Recalculated### The Terawatt World
Engineer Griffith said he was going to make the connection between personal actions and global climate change. To do that he's been analyzing his own life in extreme detail to figure out exactly how much energy he uses and what changes might reduce the load. In 2007, when he started, he was consuming about 18,000 watts, like most Americans.
The energy budget of the average person in the world is about 2,200 watts. Some 90 percent of the carbon dioxide overload in the atmosphere was put there by the US, USSR (of old), China, Germany, Japan, and Britain. The rich countries...
