My wife, Zan, and I were recently on the Big Island, Hawaii, and while there we toured the state’s only geothermal plant. Hawaii's 30 megawatt geothermal control room. Another 5% comes from wind and 5% from hydro. The rest of Hawaii’s electricity is generated by burning oil. URL: [link]. By JOHN MARKOFF.

The solar system’s biggest planet has a big problem You are orbiting Jupiter, 779 million km from the sun, where physics and logic say it ought to be very, very cold. If solar heating were the only factor at play, the planet's upper atmosphere would average 70 degrees below zero Celsius. Winds in the cloud bands reach 500 km/h.

The enormous Tesla Megapack battery allows local municipalities and utility companies to store excess energy created during the day, often from renewables such as wind and solar, and then use that energy to supplement the generators when their production decreases.

Our readers wanted to know more about power beaming , new kinds of nuclear fusion, vertical solar farms, powerful ways to drill deeper into the Earths crust to harness geothermal energy, and grid hardware that connects renewable energy projects. After all, why shouldnt we try to stick solar panels where the sun always shines?

And while renewable power generation technologies like solar and wind were not nearly powerful enough, a series of 124 Megapacks were. With a combined capacity of 400MWh, locals now have access to clean energy whenever they need it, not just when the wind blows, or the sun shines.

Better Place is building stations in San Francisco, Hawaii, Israel, and Denmark to swap out 1,000 pound batteries in a car wash type set up. There are choices for 110 volt versus 220 volt, slow versus quick charges, and solar options. The transportation market is in the process of getting fragmented beyond all recognition.
