“the requisite number of DCFC charging ports varies greatly—ranging from 1,200 to 22,000—depending on key assumptions” That’s a huge range! And the article reflects something that I’ve recently been seeing frequently: answers to strategic questions in the energy/decarbonization space, even when investigated with robust analytics and data, often can be summarized as: “It depends”. It depends on the people you want to affect, the goals you want to achieve, and the people and entities who are currently and who will be influencing behavior in the region you’re interested in affecting. A confluence of multiple complex variables makes it difficult to get a straight answer immediately.

Another one for the earlybirds About to be on radio 5 📻 on one of my favourite rants. The destruction of strategic spatial planning in the UK. The national infrastructure commission are frantic about short termism and lack of strategic direction… …meanwhile as the sector prepares to descend on Leeds next week for #ukreiff the big question is over how spatial priorities sit within an industrial strategy and at what scale?

The cross sea transmission tower solves the problem of regional and spatial limitations, and improves the efficiency of the project. Difficulties are not worth mentioning in the face of methods, and there will always be solutions when life is in dire straits.#towers

Unlike traditional methods, GPR maps and tracks vehicle positions using underground data, immune to surface-level changes. Why is this a game-changer? 🌦️ All-Weather Performance: Snow, rain, or shine - WaveSense maintains accuracy where other systems fail. 🏙️ Urban Resilience: Overcomes GPS disruptions in dense urban environments, ensuring continuous positioning. 🏜️ Off-Road Capability: Maintains performance in challenging off-road conditions where visibility is compromised. 🔄 Continuous Uptime: Provides critical safety redundancy and uninterrupted operations in all scenarios. From city streets to mining sites, WaveSense adapts to diverse operational environments. Our latest explainer below, or on YouTube, here: https://bit.ly/3zZ1tl0

December's energy is all about completion. As we wrap up the current year, it is now time to clear and reset ourselves and our spaces for the new beginnings ahead. Here are some mantras you can use this winter to clear your energy and your space. #mantras #clearing #winter #december #sacredspace #discoveryourspiritualgifts

Let me know what we can do to assist on your next project!

A pipeline will often have to pass through remote locations, such as in the Middle East where over 80% of the region's topography is desert. Obtaining pipeline leak data from remote locations can be a challenge, but Atmos has a range of solutions to overcome this.

The Northern Lights are one of the most fascinating natural phenomena known to man, and yet not many people seem to know what they actually are or how they got there. For that reason, I've quenched my curiosity to understand how they appear and aim to aid you in doing the same. In my latest Substack work, I discuss what the Northern Lights are, how they appear, and why they don't always look the same: https://lnkd.in/eSfREXW7

The Sun’s Geomagnetic Storm Aurora 4:30 AM May 11, 2024 from McCammon, Idaho. I first learned about the Sun’s Geomagnetic Storms when I built a shortwave radio at 16. The Solar flares, aka the Sun is angry, leap off the Sun, usually from the area around Black Spots into Space 100,000’s of 1,000’s of miles from the surface of the Sun unpredictably. Shortwave stations would fade away into the static. https://lnkd.in/g72-4eAR https://lnkd.in/gKUCTGVb
