The first cloud computing company to expand its Cloud GPU infrastructure with one of the most efficient, clean-powered data centers in the US NVIDIA HGX H100 GPUs for AI training, AI inference, and HPC for enterprises and innovators Vultr and Sabey dedicated to powering AI innovation with a reduced carbon … [continued]
Despite many others having already done this, I feel somewhat obligated to report on the first 100,000 miles driven in my Tesla Model 3 LR RWD, since this is the very first configuration Tesla sent off the production line in July 2017. In fact, this has made me realize that … [continued]
Recently the EU’s Joint Research Centre released an assessment of efforts related to hydrogen for transportation. In it, they make the remarkable statement that fuel cell vehicles can’t compete with battery-electric vehicles and then ask for more money to help fuel cell vehicles keep going. “Both FCEVs and FCEBs face … [continued]
In recent months it’s become clear that there’s a distinctly non-cottage industry in Germany producing unintentionally and intentionally misleading reports about hydrogen for energy. Today yet another significant and respected organization crossed my screen, dena, or the German Energy Agency. (Lower-case is their branding and it’s an acronym of a … [continued]
Another day, another review of a major hydrogen for energy report which doesn’t stand up to the slightest scrutiny. Unfortunately, this one is from the EU’s Joint Research Centre (JRC), its science and knowledge service which employs scientists to carry out research in order to provide independent scientific advice and … [continued]
A visit to Kenya’s coastal towns such as Malindi, Kilifi, Watamu, Diani, and of course the city of Mombasa always fascinates people with the large number of tuk-tuks buzzing around everywhere. The noise from their internal combustion engines can be quite overwhelming, but these vehicles play an important role in … [continued]
In recent months I’ve apparently taken on a sideline of assessing major total cost of ownership studies from reputable organizations, specifically looking at their usually weird assumptions around hydrogen. Now it’s the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research‘s turn, although it’s not a TCO study in this case. They’ve released … [continued]
Getting ChatGPT and its image-generating sibling DALL-E to put square wheels on vehicles is as tough as getting hydrogen to make any fiscal sense for ground transportation. Unless you ask it to put square wheels on a hydrogen vehicle, it seems. Michael Sura’ is a Slovakian transportation expert, with years … [continued]
It’s trivially easy to be snared by hydrogen for energy. Then it’s easy to start solving the problems of hydrogen for energy. Then it’s easy to wave away a problem set of hydrogen for energy as not your concern. And then solve more of the problems for energy. And wave … [continued]
It’s been interesting to watch the small electric vehicle space lately as companies come up with their own versions of small and lightweight appropriately-sized EVs that are made specifically for city living, where distances are shorter, speeds are lower, and parking is a hassle. An e-bike might not be feasible … [continued]
