It’s now or never if humans hope to prevent the mercury from increasing by 1.5° It’s possible to construct off-grid charging stations, but they come with hassles, such as storing power when the sun doesn’t shine. The post Leveraging Parking Lot Solar Panels for EV Charging first appeared on Clean Fleet Report.

As countries invest in large-scale clean energy transition programs and begin to phase out internal combustion engines, securing the minerals required to build batteries for storing renewable energy and powering electric vehicles is increasingly critical.

So IEEE Spectrum is making one of its occasional forays into science fiction, with a short story by Karl Schroeder about the unexpected outcomes from building a computer out of planet Mercury. Any computation generates waste heat. F Solar power is exponentially more abundant at Mercury’s orbit compared with Earth’s.

You waste a little bit of silicon, but silicon’s pretty cheap. But this wastes 2 kilobytes of RAM. ?“A That was an obvious part of the Commodore philosophy; you don’t waste money on things that make the product more expensive and that the majority of buyers aren’t going to use.” It’s only sand.”

And its easier to clean central power plants than millions of vehicles. Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) is the concept of using stored energy in a plug-in hybrids (or electric cars) battery to send power to the electrical grid when necessary. Dont PHEVs just shift pollution from gasoline cars to power plants? Are the batteries recyclable?
