Green Car Congress

While there is substantial uncertainty surrounding the producibility of this gas, there is a significant amount of shale gas that can be affordably produced. The introduction of large intermittent power generation from, for example, wind and solar, will have specific short and long term effects on the mix of generation technologies.

This Essential Element of the Power Grid Is in Critically Short Supply

Cars That Think

The sets of wires, called windings, arent connected, but through electromagnetic induction across the core, current transfers from one coil to the other. Adding power electronics could enable transformers to manage power flow in ways that conventional ones cannot, which could in turn aid in adding more solar and wind power.

The AI Boom Rests on Billions of Tonnes of Concrete

Cars That Think

But the innovators hope that the boom in data centers—and in associated infrastructure such as new nuclear reactors and offshore wind farms , where each turbine foundation can use up to 7,500 cubic meters of concrete—may finally push green cement and concrete beyond labs, startups, and pilot plants. He was frank.
