Is 100% renewable energy the best goal to cut power sector emissions? President Trump is expected this week to issue an executive order to roll back the Clean Power Plan, part of a slate of actions designed to undo former President Obama’s climate and energy initiatives. That sentiment, however, has not stopped researchers from contending … Continue reading Is 100% renewable energy the best goal to cut power sector emissions?
Can NYC Reach Its Renewable Energy Storage Goals? Sustainable CUNY has published a roadmap through which they believe it is possible for New York City to reach its energy storage targets, utilizing resilient solar technology. Resilient solar differs from traditional solar in that it can function during normal grid operations, but also when the electric … Continue reading Can NYC Reach Its Renewable Energy Storage Goals?
CAISO: Renewable energy curtailment could hit 8,000 MW this spring This winter’s heavy rains and snowfalls have revived California’s duck curve, a graphic representation of high levels of renewable generation, particularly solar power, that offsets baseload generation and then falls off sharply in the evening, requiring the quick ramp up of conventional generation sources. A … Continue reading CAISO: Renewable energy curtailment could hit 8,000 MW this spring
Renewable energy a contender to natural gas as second source of power for Colorado; coal still leads DENVER — Renewable energy appears to be taking the lead over natural gas power generation in Colorado, but coal-fired energy remains the leader by a substantial amount. In a presentation Wednesday to reporters, Erica Bowman, chief economist for … Continue reading Renewable energy a contender to natural gas as second source of power for #Colorado; coal still leads
Big energy hugely underestimates electric cars, renewable power Mass adoption of electric cars and renewable energy could significantly decrease global consumption of fossil fuels. But does the established energy industry view these new developments as a threat? In a recent report, ExxonMobil said coal could continue to provide the majority of the world’s electricity-generation capacity … Continue reading Big energy hugely underestimates electric cars, renewable power
Texas City Leads The Way On Renewable Energy This week we’re going to spend some time in a part of the U.S. that is leading the way on renewable energy. And this place is at the center of conservative, red-state, Republican America. We’re talking about Texas. Texas produces more wind energy than the next three … Continue reading Texas City Leads The Way On Renewable Energy
PNM should come clean on renewable energy costs Senator Joseph Cervantes is sponsoring legislation in the 2017 NM legislative session to promote greater efficiency and openness in how we New Mexicans have our energy needs met. In a nutshell, Senate bill 360 requires investor-owner utilities (IOUs) like Public Service Company of New Mexico to obtain … Continue reading #PNM should come clean on renewable energy costs
CPS develops $10M battery to store renewable power San Antonio-based CPS Energy is working on a project that, if successful, will help solve one of its trickiest problems in solar and wind energy production. The public utility won a $3 million grant from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to develop a commercial battery to … Continue reading #CPS develops $10M battery to store renewable power
STANFORD ENGINEERS DESIGNED A LOW-COST BATTERY FOR STORING RENEWABLE ENERGY Stanford University researchers have created a new battery that could change the way we look at renewable energy storage forever. The team used urea, an affordable, natural, and readily-available material present in mammal urine and fertilizers to create a battery that is significantly more efficient … Continue reading #STANFORD ENGINEERS DESIGNED A LOW-COST BATTERY FOR STORING RENEWABLE ENERGY
Chemists improve batteries for renewable energy storage Because the sun doesn’t always shine, solar utilities need a way to store extra charge for a rainy day. The same goes for wind power facilities, since the wind doesn’t always blow. To take full advantage of renewable energy, electrical grids need large batteries that can store the … Continue reading Chemists improve batteries for renewable energy storage
