What We Learned and How to Protect Public Information Moving Forward
PowerX, a crowdfunded “smart” home sensor system that promises to give people insight into their home’s electricity, water consumption, and water heating usage on a very granular level, claiming that it will enable them to “Save an average of $360/year per person” on their utility bills, has hit its funding goal by a factor of 5X.
The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO) provides global leadership in fundamental wind energy science research, development, and validation activities that enable low-cost wind energy. The office pursues opportunities across all U.S. wind sectors — land-based utility-scale wind, offshore wind, distributed wind — as well as addressing market barriers and system integration
As we look back at 2020 and reflect on what comes next for North Carolina in clean energy and climate, one thing becomes clear, Governor Cooper’s climate and clean energy legacy will be determined by the ability to take the many critical policy initiatives from discussion to implementation in 2021.
Extreme weather events are becoming common, and they require us to plan how they’ll affect our home energy use.
This second round of US DOE Solar Energy Technologies Office projects we’re looking at concern Systems Integration and AI Applications in Solar Energy with Emphasis on Machine Learning. Below are DOE summaries of how it intends to help on these topics as well as awardee details from the DOE.
If we aggressively pursue the energy transition, every one of us will receive dividends as we invest in a brighter future. As is the case with many investments, the energy transition may be justified (and sold) based on the dividends alone. The fact that our offspring inherit a livable world might just be a side benefit.
What persuasive strategies do you use to help others to understand and embrace scientific data, especially about renewable energy?
Research suggests new approaches are necessary to control home energy emissions.
