We see $548 billion being invested in battery capacity by 2050, two thirds of that at the grid level and one third installed behind-the-meter by households and businesses. The result will be renewables eating up more and more of the existing market for coal, gas and nuclear. Coal emerges as the biggest loser in the long run.

This is mainly due to our reliance on purchasing natural gas on the spot market to feed our power stations to make electricity and gas that is pumped into millions of homes for heating and the cost of gas has increased significantly over the last 6 months. In the U.K., Europe has wedged itself between a rock and a hard place.

That need for balance is true of electric power grids, too. Second, conventional coal and nuclear plants are being retired for economic and policy reasons, removing stable sources from the grid. Packetized energy management (PEM) allows the power grid to flexibly handle a varying supply of renewable energy.

While the%age increase in VMT was roughly in pace with population increase, as the cost of driving went down it appears some people abandoned public transportation for driving. Other transportation-related findings include: As of the end of 2016, about half of all zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) ever sold in the US were bought in California.

mpg by 2016. Their business model dictates that they pursue the lowest-cost power source and charge the highest premiums they can for the product in an open, but federally controlled, market. These companies have sunk costs invested in coal, gas and oil plants and are content in maximizing the return on these investments.

We are in a good position to transform the global energy system but success will depend on urgent action, as delays will raise the costs of decarbonization. Reducing the impact on human health and mitigating climate change would save between two- and six- times more than the costs of decarbonization, according to IRENA’s calculations.
