But taken together, the problems of wind, solar, and batteries are substantial and call for a mid-course correction from look-the-other-way, mention-and-run, wish-and-hope Big Green...
It is very simple. The cost of storing electricity is so huge it makes getting through a single windless night under a net zero wind, solar, and storage plan economically impossible.
There are easier ways for humanity to avoid the problems that batteries are intended to solve.
Our investigation found that many EVs could become almost impossible to resell because of their limited battery life.
An expert says current battery developments only just scratch the surface of Victoria's energy storage needs, as Pacific Green Australia announces plans to construct a 30-hectare grid-scale battery park in Portland.
As we know, solar produces virtually nothing in winter, and if wind power is down to 10% of capacity, that would provide only 16 GW.
Australians were promised making energy cleaner would make it cheaper, but after two years of steep price rises, industry insiders are casting doubt on when that will happen.
Marie Mumford couldn't see the benefit in a home battery when rooftop solar was installed at her home in the Queensland city of Bundaberg. But now her excess energy could be used to help her neighbours at night.
Electric car owners, including Tesla Model Y's, are experiencing escalating insurance costs, with some renewals going up to £5,000 or more. Several insurance brands, including Aviva, are refusing to cover electric cars....
California is exploring a unique type of battery to help power the clean energy revolution: compressed air batteries. This underground $1 billion battery is a giant, clean energy generator that could change the game for sustainable...
Those subsidies are providing financial incentives to the developing countries mining for those green materials to continue their exploitation of poor people and environmental degradation of their landscapes.
In order for electric planes to play a more significant role in decarbonizing air travel, energy density may need to quadruple,
