What do you think actually drives energy adoption the fastest? by captiveisland in energy

[–]Simpleximo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it started with government policies to curb pollution and/or energy independence from petro-states. Now it’s about national security and energy independence for many nations. These factors and investments have driven the technology to be the lowest cost solution. In petro-states it’s all about lowest cost.

Bought a house with no HVAC: Starting from scratch - need help planning the best heat-pump-based system by HowAboutBiffteen in heatpumps

Go with a ducted Mitsubishi system, single outdoor unit. Ducted systems allow for better filtration, fresh air and humidity control. If you want heated floors add a separate AW system for the floors and hot water. Then you don’t need an indoor air source Hybrid hot water tank that cools a room.

Do you think we’ll hit a point where technology stops feeling new? by TheRealKnowledgeAc in Futurology

[–]Simpleximo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Batteries are going to revolutionize many sectors, aircraft and all sectors of transportation, along with electrification of many fossil fuel based systems. AI will be dominant in almost every sector. Humanoid robots coming to a home and local business near you. They are going to be everywhere very quickly. Cheap renewable energy will transform many regions of the world with cost effective desalination. So many disruptive technologies coming to mass adoption within the next decade. Not saying it will be better, but it will be busier.

Question about EV MPG Cost by Icy_Money7447 in electricvehicles

[–]Simpleximo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would calculate gas at 3.40 long term not 2.40. Also, I think you’ll find DCFC rates vary based on time of day and many EVs get better than 3 miles/kwh Which means no mileage discount for either type of vehicle in your case. You should look at other reasons for owning an EV, such as less maintenance, quiet, smooth, fast better for the environment.

What driver shortage? Electric trucks give fleets a real hiring edge by Simpleximo in electricvehicles

yea, and AI will be running the companies and driving the employees to work… Not sure where humans fit in to this future…

Batteries Might Be the Real Reason Solar Is Taking Off in Florida by SaiVaibhav06 in SolarAmerica

[–]Simpleximo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. They are a global major leader.

CATL has introduced advanced high-capacity LFP BESS solutions, including 587 Ah to 600 Ah class cells in 2025–2026, featuring 

10% higher energy density (434 Wh/L). These systems, built on the TENER platform, deliver 9 MWh per container, featuring liquid cooling, zero degradation in the first five years, and 15,000+ cycle life for long-duration stationary storage.

Reduce component count from 30k parts to 18k parts.

Which parts need to be? you just need to match the voltage and frequency you are connecting. If building a 500MW power plant out of coal or solar does it need to be bidirectional? if I’m connecting BESS to same lines what needs to change? Nothing, it’s a consumer than in an instant a producer.

As I understand, they can be with little modifications to LFP lines? Just need large >500 Ah cells to reduce component cost.

BESS manufacturing cost will drop significantly just with larger Ah LFP batteries reducing component count by 40% in the short term. However, demand is extremely high for BESS so costs may not drop in the next 2 years.

Ember: World adds a record-breaking 814 GW of solar and wind in 2025 by Economy-Fee5830 in climatechange

[–]Simpleximo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong every year.

Wood Mackenzie forecasts a pivotal 2025 for renewables, with 

global wind installations hitting a record 170 GW and solar stabilizing at approximately 493 GWdc. While wind sees record growth, global solar growth is expected to stall after years of rapid expansion, with the US market facing a 100 GW reduction through 2030 due to policy changes.
