The MOST exciting discovery in Energy this decade
The Swedish university of Chalmers has published finding that show a way to store solar energy cheaply for years and use it when you want. This exciting breakthrough potentially transforms the whole energy world allowing solar power to be stored safely for long periods and used when needed. This is “the missing link” between solar […]
$10m+ Lost to Solar Storm
The loss of 40+ satellites by Space X to a solar storm has been widely reported in the media. But the implications are worth exploring. Acknowledging that these satellites had just been launched and were not in optimum position, it should make people wonder how reliable will the network be over time? Solar flares, hitting […]
LEO satellites block the sky
In an article in September last year we asked “Where are the Stars”, projecting a future in which a little child asks her father as she looks up to a grid of LEO satellites that block her view of the real stars above. See our post In a recent article in the astrophysics journal the […]
