However, the financial cost of the shift is causing concern. The fact that German electricity prices are among the highest in Europe, despite relatively low wholesale prices, must serve as a warning signal ,” said IEA Executive Director Maria van der Hoeven as she presented the report, Energy Policies of IEA Countries – Germany 2013 Review.

Classification of potential electrical storage for stationary applications. To be successful, systems will need to evolve—in some cases, considerably—to compete financially with the cost of natural gas production. The most commonly used systems today work by converting electricity to kinetic (e.g.,

The energy/climate debate of rent years has been dominated by the idea that the price of fossil fuels must be raised to reflect the full cost of their use. If the consent of the governed is granted only grudgingly or not at all, such a program will inevitably be hamstrung by resistance and will remain at constant risk of reversal.

The main potential applications are in electricity storage, transport and the recovery of waste heat. The costs of pre-clearance should be grant funded. The expansion of the liquid air when heat is reintroduced can be used to drive a piston engine or turbine to do useful work.

Wind farms stand idle for days on end, a fire interrupts a vital cable from France, a combination of post-Covid economic recovery and Russia tightening supply means the gas price has shot through the roof – and so the market price of both home heating and electricity is rocketing. Gas is the only answer. Climate Change.

The electric road ahead for heavy trucks is not exactly clear, and there are several roadblocks, some obvious and some far less so. Fleets don’t want to go electric at scale until they’ve done years-long pilots, but the Advanced Clean Trucks regulation will artificially constrict that timeframe. Soon they won’t have a choice.
