Learning how to write better from a professor is… like learning how to catch fish from a grizzly bear. The steps require 10s of instruction, and then the fact that at the end of the day they have a pile of fish and you are just wet and tired… you clearly aren’t doing it the […]

Establishing practical estimates for city-integrated solar PV and wind
Lee’s Synopsis: Huge void remains between what different academic experts estimate for city-scale solar PV and wind power generation rates In response to our previous eLetter [blog, journal], experts from UC Berkeley and Stanford replied with this. Below is our response. Our goal was to illustrate how what could be attained from one rooftop PV […]
Stated estimates for city-integrated wind and solar PV are too high (Letter in Science)
Synopsis: Recently published estimates in Science are orders-of-magnitude too large. In response to this review article in Science, we describe why the noted generation rate estimates for wind power and solar PV are too large. For wind, the atmospheric dissipation rate of ~2 W/m² limits wind power generation to much less than the 30 W/m² stated, which is supported […]
