As part of our recent fundraise announcement, I'm excited to publicly release our internal company strategy for the first time. This document will guide us over the next decade towards our north star of running the grid on clean energy 24/7/365 🧵 davidenergy.com/blog/the-24-7-…
China is winning the race to Type 1 Civilization and we're not even aware it's happening. By 2030, China will have the manufacturing capacity to build an entire U.S. worth of generation from solar and storage alone - every single year. The flow of energy is what drives physical…

One of my favorite eps and it is well worth listening in its entirety. @JessePeltan is one of the most brilliant minds in our space!

I walked into the office this AM to my team @TheDavidEnergy testing our “permissionless” batteries. An off grid @DER_Task_Force episode with @JigarShahDC and @timothyhade right in the center of NYC. No permits required!!! @duncan__c @cmetelitsa
This is the future. Solar everywhere, green paradise @JessePeltan
“This is so crazy to say, but I feel like this is one of my favorite New York shows we’ve ever played.” After DERVOS last year we threw an off-grid solar/battery powered concert featuring @notionofanguish. Can’t wait to do DERVOS and a music festival again in 2025. Stay tuned.
This year is going to be so epic
DERVOS 2025 is finally announced! Join us on October 17th on Governors Island for a day with 750 of locked in energ pros, founders, regulators, investors, and more. We have a really special event in store for everyone this year.
DERVOS 2025 announcement coming very soon. We have a really crazy event in the works this year. Keep an eye on @DER_Task_Force and your inbox. Last year it sold out quickly.
.@JessePeltan is a real one
Your choice @xiaowang1984. 1 Bitcoin or $100,000 I will put the money up personally, and you must do the same — no raising from industry or lobbying groups. I want skin in the game. I would generally prefer to make more global bets over longer timeframes — à la Julian Simon…
Having two of my idols @JigarShahDC and @timothyhade on our couch at the same time was incredible

The implications of 90%+ capacity factor solar and storage are enormous.
We're not far off from building 24/7 solar + storage at $3/w @JessePeltan

True
I don’t think people realize solar is absolutely dominating everything else right now.

We are way closer to Type 1 than you think. Silicon photovoltaics and lithium ion batteries ARE the miracle technologies that people dreamed about since we first understood the magnitude of the Sun’s power. We’re now producing them at terawatt and terawatt hour scale. Sunlight…
"All of the technology that's necessary for Type 1 civilization already exists."
We’re just energy now. The other stuff is “heritage energy”.
