Electricity Map VS Watershed

Germany is absolutely not green, on https://app.electricitymaps.com/map you can see that it is always in the yellow, even when its wind production is maximum. Source: over 1 year ago

During the 2021-2022 winter french npp worked pretty much as usual, then both unplanned and regular maintenance requirement hit during spring, summer, and fall 2022. But for this winter 2022-2023 we are currently fine, we're exporting 10GW right now. And unless we have an abnormally cold end of January or February we will not require any import and will keep exporting a clean energy to our dirty neighbors. Source: over 1 year ago

That's also the method used in "real time" by Electricity Maps (https://app.electricitymaps.com/map). Uh, at the moment, German's emissions are over 6x the French emissions (261 vs 41 g/kWh)! What a success! Source: over 1 year ago

Could do better is right. We have ~36GW of installed wind capacity in UK, while Germany embarrasses us with 70GW! Source. Source: over 1 year ago

We use DuckDB extensively where I work (https://watershed.com), the primary way we're using it is to query Parquet formatted files stored in GCS, and we have some machinery to make that doable on demand for reporting and analysis "online" queries. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

Here's why I'm asking — Watershed, a new carbon accounting tool that recently raised $60m, was spun out of Stripe. Patch.io, an API-first offsets marketplace, has strong ties to Plaid. And Bend, a CO2e emissions data API that I'm working on, grew out of Abacus, an expense management app. Source: about 2 years ago

Your best bet with your current skillset (assuming you're more SWE-oriented) would be to join forward-looking startups and companies in the climate space. There's plenty of startups that are in need of engineers, and it would surprise you that a lot of them are relatively well-funded (e.g. https://watershedclimate.com/, funded by Stripe founders and Kleiner Perkins). Alternatively, you can probably join as a SWE... Source: over 2 years ago
