Here are my notes from the conference call (note, may not be accurate!!): Tesla Q4 2024 Earnings Call Notes INTRO- ELON OPENING REMARKS -Q4 set record, delivered cars at rate of almost 2M cars/year -Model Y best-selling vehicle of any kind on earth (elon focused and talking quickly) -10Xing on autonomy, not doubling -many investments made this year that will bear immense fruit in the future, for AI -see a path for Tesla to the worlds most valuable company by far, worth more than the next 5 companies combined, difficult but achievable path -overwhelmingly due to autonomous vehicles and autonomous robots -setting up for an epic 2026, and ridiculously good 2027 and 2028 -meeting FSD now is like meeting a toddler -human intuition is linear, we're seeing exponential progress -#1 recommendation is try it -typical passenger car has 10 hours of use out of 168, when its autonomous, itll be used for 55 hours a week … can deliver packages in the middle of thenight, or supply restaurants, all hours of the day or night. 5X increase in utility -more on self driving, continued improvements in safety numbers, much safer to use FSD -V14 will be another big step from V13 -launched CORTEX training cluster at Giga Austin, big step for FSD, continue to invest in training needs -Optimus training needs are about 10X what's needed for the car -cost of training is dropping dramatically over time -Optimus has potential to be north of $10T in revenue, can put a lot training compute into that situation, even pumping $500B into it would be a good deal -future very different from the past, incredible inflection point in human history -proof is in the pudding -launching in June this year in Austin, already have cars moving autonomously in Fremont, thousands of cars per day driving, soon in Austin then elsewhere in the world -toe in the water at first to make sure everything is cool, but we have a general solution for autonomy , then put a few more toes, then a foot. Safety of the general public and those in the car as the top priority -with regard to Optimus, making insane revenue projections that sound insane, i realize that. But i think they will prove to be accurate -several thousand bots made this year, they will be doing useful things by the end of this year, im confidence, production design one at the tesla factories, then will learn for production design two -ramp optimus production faster than anything has ever launched, doesn't take very many years before we'er making 100M of these things per year , 500% growth per year -tried using all these suppliers to get it to build Optimus, but nothing worked, had to build it internally from first principles, the hand is increibdle -long term Optimus will be the value of the company -back to Energy,/earth, -energy storage is a big deal, becoming more important, enables far greater energy output to the grid than is currently possible. -grid has no storage, designed for peak storage, lots of waste -once you have grid energy storage, the potential of the grid is unlocked, at least double -this will drive demand of battery packs as to as much as we can possibly make -shanghai factory starting operation, starting another factory -cant shoot our selves in the foot, battery capacity can only go into storage or mobility, so always making that tradeoff -demand for total Gigawatt hours for batteries, transportation or stationary will grow in a very big way over time 2025 a pivotal year for tesla, launch of full self driving, biggest year in tesla history, maybe even bigger than first car or model s, 3 or y … probably most important year in tesla's history I don't even know who is in 2nd place in real world AI, would need a telescope to see them for rest of notes see pinned comment below!!!

New Electricity Demand Records Set During Cold Snap

Ireland recorded two new all-time electricity demand peaks as cold weather set in this week, according to grid operator EirGrid. Levels of demand on the power system reached new highs during the previous cold spell in November, and this was again surpassed this week with demand peaks of 5,716 MW (Megawatts) recorded at 17:53 on Tuesday 7 January, and 6,024 MW recorded at 17:47 on Wednesday 8 January. Wednesday's peak and new record is of particular significance as this marks the first time that peak electricity demand has passed the 6,000 MW mark. Around 60% of electricity generation was coming from gas at this time, with 17% from renewables and further contribution from batteries, and imports accounting for 6.6%. For context, demand first passed the 5,000 MW mark during the extreme cold snap of December 2010, a record which stood for another 10 years before being surpassed in December 2020 and on a number of subsequent occasions, including this week. Wednesday also saw a new full-day energy demand record, where energy use totalled 119.34 Gigawatt hours (GWh). In addition, the beginning of the cold snap last weekend saw new demand peaks set for a Saturday (5287 MW, Saturday, 4 January) and a Sunday (5,134 MW, Sunday, 5 January). EirGrid is responsible for operating, developing and enhancing the electricity grid and market in Ireland. It carries out the complex task of matching electricity supply to customer demand in real-time from the National Control Centre in Dublin. Electricity demand in the winter is heavily influenced by weather conditions. EirGrid's analysis of Ireland's peak demand over winter indicates that a 1°C decrease in outside temperature results in a 40 MW increase in peak demand (50 MW when wind-chill is taken into account). Despite the high demand, no System Alerts indicating tight margins between electricity generation and demand were issued over the course of the week. Diarmaid Gillespie, Director of System Operations at EirGrid, said: "The extended cold spell this week saw electricity demand reach record highs. Our Control Centre staff were able to rely on a mix of generation options over the course of the week to ensure this demand was met, with a sufficient buffer maintained between generation and demand. "Since seeing the demand peak from the winter of 2010 passed in late 2020, we've seen a series of new demand records being set over the last four years, with peak demand rising by almost 900 MW in this space of time." In October, EirGrid's annual Winter Outlook indicated a reduced risk of electricity generation not being able to meet demand compared with previous winter periods. The situation has improved for a number of reasons, including the continued implementation of the Security of Supply Programme which is led by the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU). Through this programme, additional Temporary Emergency Generation is now available as an additional generation option to engineers in EirGrid's Control Centre if required.

This is a common story across the developed world where 'harms' are increasingly being associated with online activity. Digital Age Verification is one potential solution to making the internet more age appropriate. This can include access to social media, pornography, gambling, and purchases of age restricted goods online such as alcohol, tobacco and cannabis. You are right to be concerned that digital ID and legislation like Australia's can lead to a surveillance state. Many and most digital ID systems, whether government managed or corporately managed do enable surveillance. The common phase of "verifying you are who you say you are online" is often accomplished by tying a unique identifier to the individual as recorded in some data base. This unique identifier can be linked to your government ID, driver's license number, social security number, medical number, credit card number, bank card number and so on. Further these can be associated with your online use such as cookies, IP addresses and MAC addresses. We are already in the surveillance state because of what is called the Mosaic Effect: The mosaic effect occurs when ‘disparate items of information… take on added significance when combined with other items of information. I did a quick read of the Australian Digital ID website. It uses a federated ID model using OpenID Connect, which is a wide spread standard. In this model the ID provider, which could be FaceBook, Google, (aka Social Logon) or the national government, provides the ID to the user, and 3rd parties rely on the user to authenticate using that core ID to login to their services. This model enables surveillance by default and the ID Provider technically has the ability to know where the ID is being used. However, these companies or governments may or may not have a policy which says they don't access that data, except under specific circumstances. Murky! Alternatively, there are other forms of digital ID emerging and leveraging open source protocols and software that are "privacy preserving". Among these, there are gradations of the level of privacy being preserved. So the devil is in the details with digital ID. Many are being marketed as digital credentials held in digital wallets on your smart phone. This [REDACTED]. The Guardian had a headline with member of the Australian parliament stating the government cannot compel the social media companies to make users hand over personal ID document. This is tricky, because with some approaches, technically you will not need to show any personal identity document. A concept known as Zero Knowledge Proof uses advanced cryptography to prove a statement such as "I am over the age of 19 or 21" using a digitally signed credential containing your birthdate, but without actually sharing your birthdate of any other data from your government ID. We have the technology today that enables you to prove you are old enough to visit PornHub, while PornHub will only know that it was presented with an ID credential from an acceptable government issuer and that birthdate was sufficiently long ago. Further, the ID issuing government would not know when or where you used this ID credential. The most privacy preserving technologies are often not used because they do not meet certain industry standards such as NIST, for approved cryptographic algorithms. There is currently a long standing battle in the digital ID industry between governments, companies, standards bodies who all are taking different approaches. The type [REDACTED]. Hope this information helps the show. Happy to tell you more.

Markus Roth (Focused Energy): Dieses Startup will Kernfusion nutzbar machen

Markus Roth träumt von einer Revolution. Der Physiker will mit der Hilfe von Lasertechnologie Kernfusion nutzbar und Deutschland zum globalen Energieversorger machen. Bei der Kernfusion verschmelzen leichte Atomkerne zu schwereren, wobei enorme Mengen Energie freigesetzt werden. Es ist der gleiche Prozess, der im Inneren der Sonne abläuft. "Wir verbrennen Wasserstoff zu Helium. Die Mengen, die wir dabei einsetzen, sind ungefähr ein Kilogramm Wasserstoff am Tag, den wir zu einem Kilogramm Helium umsetzen müssen. Daraus entsteht ungefähr die Leistung von einem Gigawatt, den ganzen Tag lang", erläutert Roth, der mit seinem deutsch-amerikanischen Startup Focused Energy diese Vision Realität werden lassen will.Dabei sieht der 58-Jährige enorme Chancen für den Technologiestandort Deutschland: "Die Marktführer im Bereich von Hochleistungsoptik und Laser kommen fast alle aus Deutschland." Laut der Fusion Industry Association arbeiten etwa 33 Firmen weltweit an der Kernfusion und haben mehr als vier Milliarden Dollar Investorengeld eingesammelt.Roth, der Teil der Geschäftsführung von Focused Energy ist, vergleicht den aktuellen Stand der Technologie mit den Anfängen der Luftfahrt. "Wir sind gerade im Bereich der Laserfusion das erste Mal so weit, dass wir nicht nur gezeigt haben, dass die Laserfusion funktioniert, sondern dass man damit auch Energie gewinnen kann."Doch der Weg zum kommerziellen Fusionskraftwerk ist weit. Roth erwartet, dass der erste Testreaktor Ende der 2030er Jahre ans Netz gehen könnte. "Wir arbeiten mit Nachdruck an der Kernfusion und versuchen, diese so schnell wie möglich in ein leistungsfähiges Kraftwerk zu verwandeln. Trotzdem sollten insbesondere auch die Aktivitäten von Focused Energy nicht als Ausrede dienen, um jetzt nicht in die Erneuerbaren zu investieren."Roth sieht die Kernfusion als notwendige Ergänzung zu erneuerbaren Energien, besonders angesichts des steigenden globalen Energiebedarfs. "Wir werden einen massiven Energiebedarf in Deutschland haben. Wenn ich mir nur angucke, was die KI an Strom frisst."Ein entscheidender Vorteil von Kernfusion im Vergleich zu Kernspaltung sei die Sicherheit, betont Roth. "Es kann keine unkontrollierte Kettenreaktion geben. Wenn alles perfekt läuft, verbrennen wir genau die Menge an Brennstoff, die wir in den Reaktor gefüllt haben." Zudem produziert die Fusion deutlich weniger langlebigen radioaktiven Abfall.Die Laserfusion, auf die Roth und sein Team setzen, unterscheidet sich von anderen Fusionsansätzen. "Bei der Laserfusion wird versucht, den Brennstoff so stark zu komprimieren, dass er ähnliche Bedingungen hat wie im Zentrum der Sonne", erläutert der Physiker.Roth mahnt zur Geduld, aber auch zum entschlossenen Handeln: "Das Rennen um die Kernfusion hat längst begonnen. Es sind fast alle Länder dabei. Die Frage ist: Sind wir auch dabei oder nicht?"Sie haben Fragen für Frauke Holzmeier und Andreas Laukat? Dann schreiben Sie eine E-Mail an sotechtdeutschland@ntv.de.

One of the major bottlenecks in the renewable energy sector is tied to one of the oldest components of the energy grid and is an essential piece tying FAR More of our energy infrastructure together than most realize - the humble transformer. As more renewable energy projects are deployed, transformer shortages delay projects and create significant challenges for grid expansion.Ben Macias, Chief Revenue Officer at MGM Transformers, brings over a decade of experience in the energy sector. Previously, he led sales at Shoals Technologies, where he was instrumental in that company's tremendous growth story and eventual IPO. Now at MGM, Ben oversees efforts to tackle transformer shortages by expanding production capacity and enhancing efficiency. Ben has a seasoned team focused on solving this industry bottleneck, and this conversation with Nico gives a glimpse into the not-so-sexy-but-necessary world of electromagnetic induction, probably not a topic you thought you'd learn about today! It's helpful to know that in the many Gigawatts of projects Ben & his team at Shoals helped facilitate, this was always among the most surprising areas of bottlenecks holding projects (and factories, and much more) back from completion. He and the MGM team, with nearly 50 years' experience in all types of transformer technology, are focused on fixing this shortcoming and doing it with American-made products.Expect to learn:How MGM is expanding capacity with new facilities in Texas.The difference between wet and dry transformers and their applications.Why transformer technology has remained largely unchanged for decades.The importance of building a dream team to support customers.If you want to connect with today's guest, you'll find links to his contact info in the show notes on the blog at https://mysuncast.com/suncast-episodes/.Our Platinum Presenting Sponsor for SunCast is CPS America!SunCast is proudly supported by Trina Solar.You can learn more about all the sponsors who help make this show free for you at www.mysuncast.com/sponsors.Remember, you can always find resources, learn more about today's guest and explore recommendations, book links, and more than 730 other founder stories and startup advice at www.mysuncast.com.Subscribe to Valence, our weekly LinkedIn Newsletter, and learn the elements of compelling storytelling: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/valence-content-that-connects-7145928995363049472/You can connect with me, Nico Johnson, on:Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/nicomeoLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickalusMentioned in this episode:CPS July 2024 V2

Ireland's electricity grid recorded spikes in demand during some of the summer's biggest sporting events, data from the transmission system operator EirGrid shows. Last month's All-Ireland football and hurling finals both saw increases of around 80 Megawatts (MW) in electricity demand at points during the GAA showpiece events. The biggest increase during both games was seen at half time, with demand rising again by 70 MW after the end of the first 70 minutes during Clare and Cork's pulsating encounter in the hurling final. A further spike of 60 MW was seen shortly following the trophy presentation in the Armagh Galway football final. Peak electricity demand on both Sundays stood at between 3650 MW - 3750 MW, with usage rising noticeably during brief time windows corresponding with stoppages in play during the games as other appliances such as kettles are switched on. A further spike of around 80 MW was seen shortly after full time in the European Championships football final between Spain and England. Other major events which did not feature defined breaks and which took place over either a shorter timespan, such as Olympic races involving Ireland's swimming medallists Mona McSharry and Daniel Wiffen, or over a longer period such as the Olympics opening ceremony did not reflect the same defined spikes in activity. EirGrid operates and manages Ireland's high-voltage transmission system, with electricity then taken from the transmission system and supplied to properties including homes and businesses through the distribution system, operated by ESB Networks. Latest provisional data published by EirGrid today shows that 28.7% of electricity used in Ireland during the month of July came from renewable sources. The amount of electricity generated from grid-scale solar reached another new peak of 118 GWh (Gigawatt hours) across the month, meeting 4.5% of electricity demand, up from the previous record of just over 100 GWh in June. July also saw a number of new peaks recorded for grid-scale solar activity for a one-minute period, with a series of records set and subsequently broken between the 25th (663 MW) and 31st (733 MW) of July. Gigawatt hours (GWh) values reflect energy usage over a longer period of time, while Megawatt (MW) values reflect point-in-time peaks. More than 21.5% of all electricity used in July came from wind farms, with a total generation of 569 GWh for the month. The remainder of the 28.7% renewables total came from a range of other sources, including hydropower and biomass. Overall electricity system demand stood at 2,647 GWh for July. Gas generation accounted for 44.6% of all electricity used over the month, with 20% being imported via interconnection, 5.5% coming from coal, and the remaining 1% from other sources. EirGrid is responsible for leading Ireland's transition to a low carbon future so that 80% of electricity can come from renewables by 2030, as set out in Government targets. Diarmaid Gillespie, Director of System Operations at EirGrid, said: "Solar power had another strong month on the electricity grid in July, and this trend will be of increasing importance over the coming years so that we can rely on a reasonably steady supply of renewables at different times of the year."

C'est une giga-usine de panneaux solaires qui s'installera d'ici 2026 à Fos-sur-Mer près de Marseille. Objectif : construire des panneaux de A à Z et venir concurrencer les Chinois sur ce créneau. Nicolas Chandellier, le directeur général de CARBON est l'invité d'Impact Positif. Le permis de construire vient d'être déposé, et bientôt, la giga-usine verra le jour. Elle créera 3000 emplois directs et 9 000 indirects. Un projet colossal qui nécessitera un investissement de 1,6 milliards d'euros. Mais le projet est résolument dans l'air du temps alors que l'on parle de plus en plus de souveraineté, qu'il y a une nécessité à réduire notre dépendance aux énergies fossiles et une urgence absolue à baisser les émissions de CO2. Les objectifs de CARBON répondent à tout cela. L'usine produira 10 millions de panneaux solaires par an pour une puissance de 5 GigaWatts, soit l'équivalent de la consommation annuelle de 1,1 million de foyers, ou encore la production d'une centrale nucléaire. En 10 ans, l'usine CARBON aura permis d'économiser 40 millions de tonnes de CO2, soit l'équivalent de 200 millions d'aller-retours en voiture à essence entre Paris et Marseille ! CARBON intègrera aussi toute la chaîne de production : de la production des plaquettes de silicium jusqu'à l'assemblage des panneaux. Elle sera la première usine en Europe à le faire. CARBON veut ainsi maîtriser toute la feuille de route de l'innovation, 3% de son chiffre d'affaires sera consacré à la Recherche et Développement. Un point sur lequel insiste Nicolas Chandellier : « On ne peut pas avoir de filière industrielle souveraine sans innovation. L'innovation n'arrive pas par chance. C'est de l'investissement et du travail, mais nous avons tout ce qu'il faut pour y arriver ».

This week we're talking about World Domination. Domination of energy production, that is. In the re-scrambled words of the wise and infamous Dr. Evil: “Why make Gigawatts when we can make…Terrawatts!” Indeed, solar is on track to completely dominate electricity generation. Solar is growing faster than wind, nuclear and LNG ever did. Alternatives to solar such as nuclear fission, nuclear fusion, CO2 capture and sequestration (CCS), and CO2 direct air capture (DAC) are way too expensive and very slow to scale to meet our needs. And with batteries sited with solar, we've solved the problems of intermittency and power when the sun is down. Costs for rooftop solar and storage are continuing to decline as manufacturing scale increases. According to the National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL), rooftop solar can meet 45% of our energy needs. The rest can be easily met with utility scale solar. So as long as we aggressively pursue deployments of BOTH rooftop and utility solar and storage, there is no doubt in my mind that by 2050 our society will be almost completely powered by solar.

2023 war ein Rekordjahr für die Solarenergie. Allein in Deutschland wurden 14 Gigawatt an Leistung zugebaut, fast doppelt so viel wie im Vorjahr und deutlich mehr als von der Bundesregierung geplant. „So viele Anlagen wie im letzten Jahr haben wir noch nie gebaut. Wir können insgesamt über 2023 sehr glücklich sein“, sagt Peter Knuth, Chef von Enerix im Podcast „Die Stunde Null“. Als Fachbetriebskette für den Aufbau von Solaranlagen profitierte Enerix von der enormen Nachfrage aufgrund der hohen Strompreise, aber auch von den gesunkenen Kosten für Solarmodule. Knuth sieht genau darin auch die Schattenseite des Booms: Die immer billigeren Solarmodule aus China sind zum massiven Problem für deutsche und europäische Hersteller geworden, weshalb Unternehmen wie Meyer Burger auch immer lauter damit drohen abzuwandern. „Aus meiner Sicht ist die Mischung wichtig: Wir brauchen die chinesischen Importe, aber wir brauchen ebenso eine Wertschöpfung in Deutschland“, sagt Knuth. „Man sollte solche Zukunftstechnologien nicht komplett anderen Nationen überlassen.“ Knuth plädiert dafür die heimischen Anbieter zu unterstützen, um auch die Teile der Forschung im Land zu halten. „Wenn wir den asiatischen Herstellern paroli bieten wollen, müssen wir als Steuerzahler bereit sein, die deutschen Unternehmen zu unterstützen“, sagt er. „2024 ist das Scheidejahr für die Photovoltaik.

Listen to Future Now Wireless   It’s not often that a level-headed engineer would take on conspiracy theory ideas like Maui’s fires were due to directed energy weapons from orbit.  And hey, we are lucky to have an investigation of this concept, and I think you will find his conclusions to be satisfying.  Also of interest in the energy department are the advancements happening in the world of wireless energy. Not simply in terms of charging your car, but also providing Gigawatts of power from space!  And we take a closer look at the wireless emergency alert system, with an experiment we did with iPhones and Androids.  Also this week, the Nobel prize for physics went to scientists who are slicing time into attoseconds, a billionth of a billionth of a second, so that we may have clearer views of what is happening on the molecular and atomic realms of universe.  And we look at the new evidence suggesting widespread creation of fairy circles on the planet.  Bobby shares more info on his infra-red healing experiments and we explore the finding of fresh carbon molecules on the surface of Europa. What could this mean?  Enjoy! The Las Vegas Sphere illuminated at night

54% of New Electricity Is From Solar - You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet

Proving the solar skeptics wrong, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) now expects that utilities will add 54.5 Gigawatts of solar generation capacity in 2023. And this capacity does not include 6.4 Gw of residential installations and 1.7 Gw of commercial installations expected in 2023. SIDEBAR: a Gigawatt is a billion watts of power. In 1955 the eminent Dr. Emmett Brown stated that the only power source capable of generating 1.21 Gigawatts is a bolt of lightning. Obviously things have changed in the future. For over 20 years the EIA predicted that fossil fueled power generation would continue as our leading source of new power generation. They've been among the biggest solar skeptics, predicting that solar would never catch up. But now, solar-generated electricity is the cheapest source for new power. By far. Utility solar plants generate electricity for less than $0.02/kwh, and residential rooftop systems generate electricity for less than $0.08/kwh. Compare that to the $0.16/kwh average costs for power in the U.S., and $0.35/kwh for the average home in California. You may have heard about some of the solar industry "ups" (increased solar tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act and more affordable battery storage systems) and "downs" (less favorable utility solar rates and tariffs on certain solar equipment). These ups and downs define what we in the industry call the Solar Coaster. Although challenging to predict, the one thing we can count on is that the economics for solar will continue to improve. Equipment costs are trending down, utility rates are increasing, and the reliability of the grid keeps getting worse and worse — all at the same time we are electrifying our buildings and transportation systems. To really understand the ups and downs in the solar industry it's necessary to look at the economic drivers in each of the main industry segments: Utility, Commercial and Residential. System costs, government policy and incumbent electric rates affect each of these market segments quite differently. In spite of this variability, the health of the overall solar industry is quite good. For a detailed dive into each of these market segments, please tune into this week's Energy Show.
