Researchers at MIT are proposing using a variation on pumped hydroelectric systems for storage of electricity produced by offshore wind farms. The 1,000 wind turbines that the spheres could anchor could, on average, replace a conventional on-shore coal or nuclear plant. MIT has filed for a patent on the system. Earlier post.).

A three-year study by a team of researchers based at MIT has concluded that fundamental changes are needed in the US energy-innovation system. The project was supported by a grant from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. Business as usual is unsustainable over the long run. —Richard Lester.

Researchers at MIT had earlier demonstrated the ability to make biopropane (LPG from corn or sugarcane) using a supercritical water process, and created a startup (C3 BioEnergy) in 2007 that attempted to commercialize the technology. Renewable propane. infrastructures (e.g.,

government was going to try a whole bunch of different government interventions—incentive programs, tax credits, grants, infrastructure investments—to bend the trajectory of our energy transition. So when I went to MIT to do my Ph.D., I and Nestor Sepulveda , who was also a Ph.D. You need a bigger grid to supply that electricity.

One wonders if the recent headway at MIT in building lithium ion cells using ?virus? Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal. Why grant them the privledge to spend our money in the first place? Forget the black helicopter conspiracies.
