Can someone who might understand the details of US / Canada tariff situation explain what the scope of “oil and gas” or “energy” tariffs may mean? The media uses these words interchangeably, but to me, these are drastically different.

Key question:

Does this tariff only impact Oil? Is Natural gas included? Hydro? How about products like propane / butane? Even saw an article suggesting uranium might be included as energy.

Any help would be much appreciated, hopefully someone can point me towards a source to support any claims.

The corphene is a metallic atomic structure formed by two metals one of low thermal expansion preferably Chromium that forms a box-like structure, the stator, the corphene is formed by several of these “boxes” joined by a layer of 2 or 3 atoms thick formed by a metal with high thermal expansion, preferably Zinc is the oscillator. In the following geogebra files the structure of corphene is visualized starting with the “corphene basic unit cell” file, where it shows one of these basic corphene structures, in it the blue atoms are chromium and the red ones are zinc, the first ones belonging to the stator and the second ones to the oscillator. In the file “Representation of the corphene cell”, a simplified representation of the corphene cells is shown, which will be useful later to understand the file “extended vertical structure of corphene”....

Well at this point you may be asking what corphene is for, what corphene does in theory is to sum or amplify the thermal vibrations of the oscillators within each corphene cell vertically, or what is the same converts small mechanical movements of atoms to what we call thermal energy into a more macroscopic mechanical energy which could be harnessed with piezoelectric crystals to generate energy from ANY MATTER ABOVE ABSOLUTE ZERO, in short from anywhere including possibly interstellar space.

I’m a master’s student working on my thesis about optimizing 100% renewable energy integration into Thailand’s power system. My study involves power system modeling and demand-side management (DSM), particularly load shifting, and I want to use PLEXOS for this.

The challenge is I have no experience with PLEXOS, and I’m struggling to get started. I’m looking for a mentor or someone experienced who can guide me through: • The basics of PLEXOS – How to set up a model from scratch • Modeling high shares of renewable energy (solar, wind, storage, etc.) • Implementing demand response (load shifting) within PLEXOS • Best practices, common pitfalls, and helpful resources

If you have experience with PLEXOS, I would be incredibly grateful for your guidance whether through occasional advice, sharing resources, or even mentoring.

Please feel free to comment or DM me if you’re open to helping! Thanks in advance.

I work in solar. The Fed, State, and local cover about 80% of project costs through subsidies and incentives, then you sell off the ITC credits for cash. I was thinking about the Ivanpah shutdown today. Conventional power plants and even some of the renewables cannot compete with the simplicity of solar. If you have ever been to a conventional power plant, it is a maze of pipes and valves and failure points. We are going to see more PV + BESS dominance in the years to come, with conventional shutdowns (depending on region).

Edit: Conventional takes dozens, hundreds of employees. A 600MW solar site miiight have 5.

Let’s have a discussion about climate collapse, the electric revolution, and what road blocks stand in its way. In my opinion hearts and minds are still the biggest hurdle to overcome. People have become overly attached to media figures and the entrenched religious fervor in which these topics are discussed from every angle. The technology already exists: what does a fully renewable civilization look like to you?

What will be the "new energy"?

Hi there, I need help understanding why biomass is carbon neutral.

The argument goes that the CO2 emitted by combustion is offset by the CO2 stored by the plan while growing. OK, but what about the counterfactual where we do not burn the plant at all?

• Either we replant, capturing the newly emitted CO2 with growing plants/trees, but this would require the CO2 absorption capacity of those plants/grees to match the emissions

• Or we do not, and this supposes that the plant was about to die and rot anyway, and that dying and rotting plants emit as much CO2 as buring them does.

If anyone could explain to me with a counterfactual summary this would help tons! Many thanks

I'm about to graduate in May with an electrical engineering degree and I'm facing a tough career decision. I have two offers on the table and I'm wondering if I should rescind my acceptance with a big energy company. Here are the details:

1. Energy Comp:- Role: Interconnection Planning Engineer- Salary: $87k- Bonus: (Total comp around $94k-$97k)
2. IBM:- Role: Annuity and Subscription Sales Representative- Salary: $73k- Commission: $60k (100% target)- Total comp (as told by IBM): $133k

The Energy Comp role aligns with my degree and my original long-term plan to work on Smart Grids, but the IBM offer has a significantly higher total compensation. I'm planning to pursue a masters in Machine Learning with emphasis on Smart Grids, but I believe this could also be relevant at IBM, just in a different way. I'm torn between staying in my field of study with a role directly related to my electrical engineering background and potentially earning more in a sales role that could provide exposure to AI. Everything else (location, sign-in bonus, pto, retirement) is similar.).

Another issue is that staying at the energy comp offers a clear path to getting my PE license. I'm curious about the long-term value of a PE in the electrical engineering field, especially in areas like smart grids and renewable energy integration.

-How valuable is staying in an engineering role for career growth?

-Is it feasible to transition back to engineering after a sales role? How important is it to work towards a PE license early in your career?

-Thoughts on the long-term prospects of interconnection planning in the energy sector?
