“These are global markets,” she said. “The only way to figure out which policies work or don’t is to have accurate #EIA #data. Everybody benefits from that analysis, whether you’re in the private sector or the public sector,” Amy Myers Jaffe said.

Last month, the #EIA released its signature report: the Annual #Energy Outlook for the #UnitedStates. Largely based on #data gathered during the admin of Joe #Biden, the report projected rapid growth in #AlternativeEnergy & declines in American reliance on #coal, #oil & #NaturalGas. Agency ofcls feared that the findings would rankle the “Drill, Baby, Drill” proponents in the #Trump admin, acc/to multiple EIA sources.

For decades, the #Energy #Information Admin, an #independent agency housed inside the Dept of Energy, has provided crucial reports on everything from #oil & #gas to the future of #AlternativeEnergy. Relied on by oil CEOs & govt #policymakers alike, #EIA’s data has been called the “gold standard” by Daniel Yergin, vice chair of S&P Global & an éminence grise in the oil world. No less a source than #Project2025 described the EIA as historically providing “independent & impartial analysis.”

The Latest #Trump & #DOGE Casualty: #Energy #Data

The #EnergyInformationAdministration has long provided reliable data on everything from #oil & #gas to #AlternativeEnergy. Now one of its signature reports has been slashed & a 2nd one canceled entirely amid sweeping job reductions & turmoil.

The Trump admin has eliminated or stifled critical data at dozens of #FederalAgencies. Now the admin’s actions are hitting…the energy industry.

The #USGovernment’s Secret Inventions

Secrecy orders allow U.S. defense agencies to control patents, including those that are privately developed.

"Invention secrecy in the U.S. dates back to at least the 1930s, but it really took off in the ’40s, when the development of nuclear weapons was shrouded in classification. It became official policy in 1952 with the #InventionSecrecyAct, which allows USPTO to keep patents deemed ‘detrimental to the national security’ on lockdown. Under the act, USPTO’s commissioner of patents became empowered to flag patent applications—even those developed by private citizens—for review by government defense agencies, which could request that certain inventions be kept secret. Patents covered by such ‘secrecy orders’ may be restricted from export, made available only to defense agencies, or even classified. Patent holders can appeal secrecy orders, but the power to rescind those orders remains in the hands of the agencies that made the requests. While there may be a chance those agencies will reconsider, the statistics aren’t promising: According to figures from the Federation of American Scientists, from 2013 through 2017, an average of 25 old secrecy orders were rescinded each year—while 117 new secrecy orders were imposed annually. With so many inventions deemed secret, so few eventually publicized, and the entire process itself obfuscated in classifications, it’s no wonder that critics have questioned whether the current invention-secrecy regime is really working properly.

“FAS has been dogging the patent-secrecy system for three decades now. Founded in 1945 as the Federation of Atomic Scientists by the engineers of the #ManhattanProject, the organization was originally formed to promote nuclear disarmament. As time passed, it renamed itself the Federation of American Scientists and expanded its scope to address additional issues, like chemical weapons, arms sales, and government secrecy in general. In the ’80s, when the Reagan administration and the National Security Agency sought to limit discussion of cryptography using invention secrecy, FAS entered the fray, successfully fighting off government censorship and tracking the USPTO’s secrecy activity ever since."

Just lost an hour browsing portable wind turbines. I'd love a small vertical unit I could rig to run the fridge after storms take out the power grid again. (Full disclosure, I've two solar arrays charging a whole house battery backup already, but hey it's fun tech to look at and why not have a backup plan?)

Today is the eleventh anniversary of our rooftop solar power installation and to my surprise I can report that 2022-2023 brought the highest output yet recorded.
This blog also discusses how we're adding to the system with panels facing in a different direction so that we have more of our own power throughout the day.

Graph of total output of a rooftop solar power installation over time. The highest output achieved so far was in the eleventh year. i.e. we've not seen any degradation as yet
Graph showing how the solar panels facing south produce electricity sooner in the day than those facing south west. South east facing panels would start even sooner than south facing panels but their total output would be lower overall and in our case they would then face the neighbour's house which helpful.
