Bill Gates’ $500 million Tesla short position is a bit awkward in terms of his own pledges to help with climate change. Tesla is a trillion-dollar company with a focus on accelerating the transition to sustainability. It’s also the only company that has had massive success beating the odds stacked … [continued]
The concentrating solar power dream lives on, with new electric vehicle battery angle.
A new $1 billion clean technology fund aims to push the envelope on sustainable aviation fuel, carbon capture, energy storage, and hydrogen.
Agora’s CO2-based redox flow batteries will be a core technology assisting us to bend the Keeling Curve back down. Hello Tomorrow indeed.
Form Energy says a pilot iron-air battery storage system will be operational by 2023.
Courtesy of Union Of Concerned Scientists, The Equation. By Elliott Negin Nuclear power proponents have long been prone to wishful thinking. Back in 1954, Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Lewis Strauss famously predicted that nuclear-generated electricity would ultimately become “too cheap to meter.” Today, nuclear power is among the most expensive forms of electricity. Strauss’s successor at … [continued]
Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are teaming up to bring a new kind of nuclear reactor to Wyoming. Good place for it!
Only when all three technologies are considered do we see the full spectrum of storage requirements being met. Lithium-ion’s limitations are balanced by pumped hydro storage, just as pumped hydro storage’s challenges are balance by lithium-ion. But redox flow batteries fill up all of the gaps and more.
Green hydrogen stakeholders, such as the Bill Gates outfit Breakthrough Energy Ventures, are eager to see the new ZeroAvia hydrogen fuel cell airplane get off the ground.
Pro-tip: if the expenditure units starts with m instead of b, it’s not serious. Billions move the needle. Millions just keep the lights on in a few pet projects.
