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.

Technical brief: transportation overtaking electricity generation as the largest source of US CO2 emissions

Green Car Congress

per year over 2007-2015 due to the displacement of coal by natural gas, wind and solar for power production as well as energy efficiency gains. Stronger CAFE and GHG emissions standards for cars and trucks will help, but are not enough to put transportation sector CO 2 emissions on a clearly declining trend. Click to enlarge.

UK power crisis – entirely the fault of regulators and ministers

EV Info

The UK has been a leader in deploying on and offshore wind turbines. Solar also generates a good share of the power generated when the sun shines. What we have not done so well is to ensure that we have a solid base level of generation to supply electricity when there is no sun and no wind. Needs – Solar and Battery.
