I do not run anything from 4 to 9, we very rarely use the A/C and all the pool and irrigation run early am. So cook top and oven are about it. My HVAC has been replaced with a more efficient unit as well as washer dryer.For someone on natural gas/propane, no impact there with cooking time on TOU. For those cooking with electric/induction/microwave, could still cook around that time and potentially save a decent amount if prior was also running things like washing machine, clothes dryer, dishwasher, pool pump(s), charging EV, etc.
Also TOU would encourage high SEER replacement units for AC and if using electric heat, replacing resistive with heat pump with high HSPF. TOU would also encourage running AC a little warmer during that widow.
I hear my neighbor's pool pump and hot tub run during high TOU times, and the efficiency part of me says ARGHH.
Right around the same time that bought politicians start to clamor to break up the companyRight now they are known mostly as an EV company, but would not be surprised for them to be as well known for energy storage in the near future.
Solar and storage are showing coal and natural gas the exits, IEEFA outlook says
Technology improvements and price declines have made solar and wind the least-cost option in much of the U.S. The next two to three years will be transformative, a new report said.pv-magazine-usa.com

About 20,000 MW of new battery storage will probably be installed at utility installations around the country in the next four years. Battery storage passed the 1 GW marker for installed capacity last year.
I like that plan. A lotThe future will absolutely be dominated by wind and solar with RE H2 providing reliability because physics and economics.
I do to. I would also be in favor of pulling carbon out of the air or ocean and making synthetic hydrocarbons from that renewable H2 as well. Pushing renewable methane into the existing natural gas infrastructure would help decarbonize that energy usage before all those nat-gas consuming appliances can be replaced.I like that plan. A lot

The author is the CTO of a multi-national with vast NG assets. Part of his argument is a declaration that the NG industry wants to be invited to the party or they will fight against being left with stranded asses.The latest issue of Scientific American has an article
Freudian slip?The author is the CTO of a multi-national with vast NG assets. Part of his argument is a declaration that the NG industry wants to be invited to the party or they will fight against being left with stranded asses.
Yep. I found \ the article thoughtful too. And it's not like his point that entrenched interests will fight against loss of profits is up for debate. I suppose he rubbed me the wrong way by offering up a stick. He should be chatting up his NG buddies to come up with ideas and massive R&D that turn pipes into a competitive asset in the RE economy rather than a green-washed excuse for subsidy. 20% H2 mix is not going to cut it.But to his relative credit
The other issue is that methane is a potent greenhouse gas so even "green" methane destroys the environment.Yep. I found \ the article thoughtful too.

A synthetic fuel that starts from renewable H2 has promise if it can competitively scale. That, however, is a BIG if.
Which is fine, invite them to the party. NG has an important role to play in society. Paying off petro stranded asset owners is a logical way to rid oneself of an issue. At the end of the day, the world would be much better if Gates or Elon would just buy and shut down Exxon. Source of much the climate change fud, well Chevron too. Get rid of those two and much of the US targeted fud would disappear and you'd only have the Russian trolls.The author is the CTO of a multi-national with vast NG assets.

This is a good argument in favor of capturing bio-methane from animal farms and putting it in pipes to be burned. The resulting CO2 is less harmful than letting the natural methane into the environment.The other issue is that methane is a potent greenhouse gas so even "green" methane destroys the environment.
Yes. Although just eliminating animal farms completely would be a better idea.This is a good argument in favor of capturing bio-methane from animal farms and putting it in pipes to be burned. The resulting CO2 is less harmful than letting the natural methane into the environment.
Well maybe in the future renewable meat will end up cheaper than future-fossil meat.Yes. Although just eliminating animal farms completely would be a better idea.
