A 2.2 MW photovoltaic power plant at Longfei Wood Products Factory in Yichun, Heilongjiang Province of China, was recently connected to the grid, marking the completion of the first distributed PV power plant using LONGi’s “HPBC 2.0” technology.

The Longfei PV plant uses LONGi’s HPBC 2.0 dual-glass PV modules with a module power of 630 W. The plant generates an annual output of 3.2 million kWh, providing electricity for the factory while also yielding annual electricity sales revenue of 1.2 million RMB.

LONGi says its HPBC 2.0 modules deliver superior power generation performance compared to a TOPCon PV power plant of the same capacity. With the same surface area, LONGi’s HPBC 2.0 dual-glass modules increase installed capacity by 5% compared to TOPCon modules, achieving an 8.56% power generation gain, the company says.

To maximize installed capacity and power generation, the project adopted ground-mounted installation at the optimal tilt angle. This method ensures maximum absorption of solar radiation, significantly improving efficiency. Compared to a flat rooftop installation, the ground-mounted approach delivers 25% more power generation while offering easier maintenance and lower operational costs.

Carl Sagan and the Suppression of Uncomfortable Ideas

Seminal astrophysicist Carl Sagan explains why uncomfortable ideas may be banned in religion, they must not be shunned in science.

This is an important concept in American life today, as conspiracy theorists are convinced that climate change denial cannot be considered in scientific circles.

I happened to bring this up in my interview with Dr. V. Ramanathan of the Scripps Institution, who has been amassing data on global warming since the 1970s.  He laughed, and explained, “If I could prove that human activity was not causing temperatures to rise, I’d be be one of the wealthiest and most famous scientists in world history.”

We Came Incredible Close to Averting the Disaster that Is Donald Trump

As suggested at left, a great deal of the hardship that has befallen the U.S. was simply bad luck.  Al Gore came within a whisker of victory in 2000, a win that would have forever changed the course of our nation in terms of energy policy, education, healthcare, and international affairs.

If Bernie had become the 2016 nominee, we wouldn’t have had Hillary Clinton telling our country’s most mean-spirited and least-educated people that they were “deplorables,” ushering a criminal sociopath into the White House.

Socialism and “Free Stuff”

Published

on

Social democracies are nations in which the tax base provides everyone with healthcare and education, and where the richest and most powerful people are not free to ruin the environment.

I run into someone from one of these counties a couple of times a month, and I like to ask why their people are consistently at the top of the World Happiness Rankings. The normal response is always some variant of the following:

It’s hard to be happy living in a society that is indifferent to the suffering of others.  It’s part of the very nature of human beings to care about one another.

Something else I notice about these places is that very few people are religious.  Sweden, e.g., is about 80% atheist.

That means no childish tribalism, no ridiculous dogmas, no worries about eternal damnation, etc.
