We Need to Talk About AI's Impact on Public Health

Cars That Think

But many people havent made the connection between data centers and public health. But the health impact of air pollution depends heavily on regional factors such as local sources of energy, wind patterns, weather, and population density. The climate impact of carbon dioxide is largely the same no matter where its emitted.

CMU researchers find controlled charging of PHEVs can cut cost of integration into electricity system by 54-73%; higher benefits with wind power

Green Car Congress

The magnitude of these savings is ~5% to 15% higher in a system with 20% wind penetration compared to a system with no wind power, and the savings are 50–60% higher in a system that requires capacity expansion. Controlled charging can also take advantage of the high levels of wind generation that commonly occur at night in the US.

MIT researchers propose subsea version of pumped hydro for renewable energy storage

Green Car Congress

Researchers at MIT are proposing using a variation on pumped hydroelectric systems for storage of electricity produced by offshore wind farms. The key to this Ocean Renewable Energy Storage (ORES) system is the placement of 30-meter-diameter hollow concrete spheres on the seafloor under the wind turbines. Earlier post.).

Topsoe to provide technology for first commercial size dynamic green ammonia plant in China

Green Car Congress

The green ammonia will replace approximately 850,000 tons of coal and help reduce more than 2 million tons of CO 2 from being emitted to the atmosphere every year, along with 6.4 The clean power from wind turbines will be connected directly to the electrolysis unit making it more cost-effective than if involving a hydrogen storage.
