The Holy Grail of clean energy economy is in sight: Affordable storage for wind and solar
Monday, August 31st, 2009
Enabling safe, clean energy that will never run out is a key to averting catastrophic climate change. Roughly half the “solution” to global warming is solar and wind [see " How the world can (and will) stabilize at 350 to 450 ppm "]. Of course, many U.S. concentrated solar plants will use low-cost, high-efficiency thermal storage . In the longer term, plug-in hybrids and electric cars are likely to play a key role in storage, if issues surrounding battery life can be solved and/or battery
