Interesting discussion from the #DERTaskForce on the overlap (or lack thereof) between energy and "tech" circles, data and institutional limitations on commercial renewable energy deployment in the US, and the possibility of scaling up co-location of loads and distributed generation to get around those limitations.

Long and rambly, and a bit of inside-baseball, but definitely worth a listen.

So psyched to have been interviewed for this Wired Magazine article about the benefits of solar power canopies in parking lots. Definitely feels like a career milestone to be mentioned in Wired... Its always funny to see what parts of a long interview end up being included in a story, but overall I'm happy with the quotes they used. #solar #energy #climate #energytransition #der https://www.wired.com/story/france-solar-panels-parking-lots/

It seems that most #demandresponse aggregators available to NYC residents are fly-by-night start ups with questionable business models (except for hardware companies that offer DR, like Nest). #energy nerds, anyone have an opinion about this? #energytransition #der #climate
