Virtual Power Plant
We have all been on Zoom calls instead of meeting in person. Our computers, cameras, and nearly everything takes electricity.
Virtual power plants do NOT generate electricity but, they do aggregate the generation of various sources and allow the power to be traded or sold.
A virtual power plant does 2 things. It gathers up demand from real solar panels, wind turbines, or other installed generation sources. It then allows that demand to be sold, tracked, and paid.
Its use is being explored. Consider the home or business that has solar PV generation that can shut down some equipment (think of turning off your AC). Then the solar power you would’ve used to run your AC system can be sold into the market.
A virtual power plant is a marketplace where those with generation can sell some of their production. And you won’t need a Zoom meeting to get it done.
This is an interesting way to allow free-market powers to address power market demand and supply.

Tech Breakthrough Could Spark A Geothermal Energy Boom
One of the cleanest energy sources, geothermal energy, recently had a breakthrough in exploration. Finding sites to drill has been one of the main challenges especially when searching underwater. Researchers discovered a method to ease that task. Geochemical data along with the charting of lake floors in the new system were not previously possible. It can provide more precise locations and essential information for harvesting this green energy.
