New CA smart grid law will help solar and fix the grid by… simply replacing wires

Baua Electric

The issue is that, as renewables make up a larger percentage of grid electricity, there will be more fluctuations in supply due to the intermittent nature of solar and wind generation (and the distributed nature of rooftop solar).

Heating Buildings With Solar Energy Stored in Sand

Cars That Think

In a region known for long, dark winter nights, Polar Night Energy is building a system in the city of Tampere that can heat buildings with stored solar energy — all day, all night, and all winter long. When you ask people about cleaner energy, they think of electricity,” says Tommi Eronen, CEO of Polar Night Energy.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

Wind and solar parks produce a large portion of their energy. Then, as now, wind farms are operating off the world’s coasts—but not all of these offshore sites are connected to the mainland via underwater power cables. Some of the wind farms instead sit in clusters more than 100 kilometers out at sea.

SGH2 building largest green hydrogen production facility in California; gasification of waste into H2

Green Car Congress

It also solves our plastics and waste problems by turning them into green hydrogen, and does it cleaner and at costs far lower than any other green hydrogen producer. It does not depend on particular weather conditions, and does not require as much land as solar- and wind-based projects. —Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris.
