Con Edison, the city’s power supplier, said it was responding to the situation as #blackout trended on Twitter.
As the heat continues outside, an influx of energy is being used and putting people at risk for power outages.
It depends, experts say. Just expect to make a few sacrifices.
Upgrading just one component on your air conditioner can keep your unit from having a power surge which can damage your system resulting in a costly air conditioner repair or replacement.
Even when triggers and warning mechanisms are geared toward slow onset disasters, the donor and aid community are often not responding fast enough. Experts tell Devex it’s either time to bolster drought indicators and better define action tied to early warning systems, or rethink aid frameworks altogether.
Why are we trying to close nuclear plants that have been relicensed as safe for another 20 yrs? To save a penny to spend on renewables and say that helps climate change? As all climate scientists agree, prematurely closing nuclear plants is bad for the climate. And it doesn’t save any money at all.
Nuclear makes no sense economically and it makes no sense because we have better, cheaper and more viable energy alternatives right now.
EVs produce more CO2 than say diesel – it’s just they emit via the power plant not the exhaust pipe
When solar adds storage, there are grid services to be had.
Maybe your electric bills aren’t that bad, except for summer when you have to run the air conditioning. But you are the conservative type, so you set the thermostat at 80 degrees and suffer through…
How Much Does Solar Power Cost in Your State? And, More Importantly, How Much Does Solar Power Save You!? Hint: Tens of Thousands.
Supporters say nuclear plants are the best way to transition to a low-carbon future until renewables get cheaper. Others argue the plants are too risky to keep in operation.
Experts argue whether electric cars are worse for the environment than gas guzzlers once the manufacturing process and batteries are taken into account
Even as the costs of solar power continue to decline, a widespread perception from the public and many policymakers that solar is ‘too expensive’ remains stubbornly in place – much to the frustration of advocates and industry professionals. A new study challenges this assumption by delving into the numbers to compare the actual costs and …
Germans just did it. Will the rest of the world follow suit?
What size solar power system do I need? How is it calculated? How many solar panels do I need?
When the power goes down, a Solar Battery Back-Up System will power your home.
The electric power and utility industry is experiencing a period of transformation due to disruptions to the market. As innovation increases, demand changes
From electric planes to power generated from deserts and asteroid-killing tech, here are seven world-changing ideas.
