This job at the Colorado PUC is a great opportunity to help Colorado navigate the challenge of reducing emissions while keeping energy rates affordable and making sure the lights stay on. Please share with anyone who might be interested. Deadline is September 4. https://www.governmentjobs.com/careers/colorado/jobs/newprint/5038010
Fellow Volts fans: A small team of us just launched a statewide campaign in Oregon that you might find of interest. It’s called EVmath.org, and it’s designed to close the rural/urban divide on EVs.
We’re telling the stories of 10 EV early adopters from rural communities who are saving a significant sum of money thanks to their EVs. They’re donating their time to the campaign because they believe in the cause. Here’s a quote from Tim Nesbitt, who lives on a small farm in the town of Independence:
“I was drawn to this effort for its facts-based focus on sharing the benefits of EVs. We need more understanding of the merits of EVs, divorced from politics.”
Our goal is to invite as many people to EVmath.org as possible, so they can hear their neighbors’ stories and crunch the numbers for themselves. We’ve built the most simple, user-friendly EV cost savings calculator out there.
If you’re interested in learning more, or see an opportunity to collaborate, please reach out: https://www.evmath.org/
I find the short piece on the megawatts supplied by batteries highly misleading. The batteries eat their guts, are only available for a short time and need to be replenished. Both a hydroelectric dam and a nuclear plant can run continually to run full out. Batteries may be able to fill a short gap, but are not a long-term solution to constant electricity production.
Isn’t the point that the batteries meet the typical 2 hour peak and in so doing eliminate the need for entire hydroelectric and nuclear builds (at a much lower cost)?
It's about time that we demand green hydrogen to replace methane in electricity generation. Climate change is real. Just step outside! In addition we have a rare occurrence of a potential cat 4 hurricane in the Atlantic. Enough talk! Action!

I noticed. I hope everyone at Volts is having a great month, you deserve it.
I find the short piece on the megawatts supplied by batteries highly misleading. The batteries eat their guts, are only available for a short time and need to be replenished.

You’re missing the point in that it can take the cap off peaks and smooth out generation, preventing great cost expenditures.
