A research team at Penn State University indicates that geothermal energy supports the case for repurposing abandoned oil and gas wells as long duration, compressed air energy storage systems for wind and solar power.
Recently I had the opportunity to sit down with Mark O’Malley, Leverhulme Professor of Power Systems at the Imperial College of London and founder of the Global Power System Transformation organization, which was based on the principle of grids moving toward 100% renewables. The grid is the biggest machine in … [continued]
Researchers are zeroing in on the value of utility-scale energy storage systems as a replacement for gas peaker plants and other grid services.
Electric trucks are gaining traction all over the world, though a recent shift in federal EV policy raises questions about the US market.
Climate litigation activity is heating up in the US, including a new lawsuit against coal and oil companies that has just moved closer to the discovery stage.
Floating solar panels on hydropower dams and other reservoirs controlled by the US government could power tens of millions of homes, eventually.
A new wave of supersized, morphing wind turbines will help cut costs for the US offshore wind industry, if it can survive the next four years.
From California to Maine, the race to build vast arrays of offshore floating wind turbines is finally taking shape after years of R&D.
A June study by researchers from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory that analyzed data from 11 states found people who adopt community solar are 6.1 times more likely to live in multifamily buildings, are 4.4 times more likely to rent, and earn 23% less annual income than rooftop solar adopters, who tend to be more wealthy. In … [continued]
Wave energy converters can harvest electricity from the ocean, helping coastal communities cut their reliance on fossil fuels.
