Jacobson’s latest study carefully uses with current technologies and currently available resources for storage and transmission. The latest evidence is that there are much cheaper alternatives than his team models, underselling the potential.
100% renewables for 143 countries covering 99.7% of global energy carbon emissions is very inexpensive compared to business as usual in Jacobson’s latest.
“Seven Challenges for Energy Transformation 2019,” a report by Rocky Mountain Institute, was launched during three connected international events in Delhi, Beijing, and New York that convened the world’s leading energy stakeholders and catalysts to kickstart a global effort to accelerate the energy transition and mitigate the climate crisis.

Democratic candidates for President should elevate pumped storage hydro into a coal-country vote winner as well as a climate change winner.
In this episode of our CleanTech Talk podcast interview series, Zach Shahan is back again with Michael Barnard, Chief Strategist of TFIE Strategy Inc and CleanTechnica contributor, to talk about one solution to current energy storage limitations: closed-loop pump storage hydropower.
The most popular CleanTechnica stories last week included fun content about an off-grid month with SunPower solar panels + Tesla Powerwalls, the just-beginning economies of scale Tesla is getting from its gigafactories, a pitch for Elon Musk’s The Boring Company getting into pumped hydro, Tesla dominating US electric vehicle sales, and much more. Scroll down for the headlines and click through to the ones that tickle your fancy!
Pumped hydro is a highly viable storage technology, it overlaps nicely with the characteristics of Tesla’s existing battery technology, the Boring Company has high-speed tunneling equipment suitable for penstocks and there are a lot of excellent coal miners who could be repurposed close to home in the United States.
Are you interested in investing your money in a billion-dollar company helping to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy?
With the gigantic Fengning pumped hydro storage project nearing completion, China is on pace to have 40 GW of pumped hydro storage on tap soon, more than any other country in the world.
