MIT researchers conclude fundamental changes in the US energy-innovation system are needed to meet challenges of climate change and energy supply

Green Car Congress

Without systematic, transformative changes, the US is unlikely to succeed either in averting the worst economic and environmental consequences of climate change or in achieving a secure, affordable and reliable energy supply. Business as usual is unsustainable over the long run.

California PUC requires SCE to procure at least 50 MW of new electrical capacity in LA Basin from energy storage systems

Green Car Congress

This approach is a major step forward in our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change. Today’s decision begins the hard work of rebuilding antiquated electric infrastructure in and around Los Angeles. Going forward, SCE’s customers will not be solely reliant on a fossil fueled electric supply.

California Hydrogen Business Council says a robust P2G RD&D program should be a priority for the state

Green Car Congress

According to the white paper, an important distinction between P2G and other forms of energy storage is that P2G allows conversion of energy amongst a variety of sectors and end-uses (e.g., Constraining storage solutions to “electricity-in, electricity-out” only will increase the cost of intermittency. The duck curve.
