Superheavy booster, the giant Spacex rocket rolls out at Starbase Texas in Boca ChicaWorld’s Largest floating wind farm takes shapeJapan signs deal for thirty 10 MW powers plants including battery storage and hydrogen plantsAnd...Do engineers dream of solar panel efficiency? John’s not an engineer but he should have been one...this and much much more clean energy news for today July 9, 2021 (Ep.51)Japan is developing 30 projects that match each other - 10 MW solar+10 MWh lithium ion+ 30 MWh hydrogen - hydrogen/lithium will smooth the grid and possibly be exported as wellhttps://reneweconomy.com.au/japan-giant-signs-deal-for-30-australian-solar-farms-with-battery-and-hydrogen-storage/SpaceX rolls out their Superheavy Booster to the pad in Texashttps://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1410670645948653568My article: Do engineers dream of solar panel efficiency?
