All large-scale energy systems have environmental impacts, and the ability to compare the impacts of renewable energy sources is an important step in planning a future without coal or gas power. In the journal Joule , Harvard researchers report the most accurate modelling yet of how increasing wind power would affect climate.

Hydrogen has the ability to assist in variable power output from renewable energy sources such as solar PV and wind. The availability of these sources is not always commensurate with demand for power. Currently, in the power industry, hydrogen accounts for less than 0.2% However, this could change in the near future.
