Researchers at MIT have improved a proposed liquid battery system that could enable renewable energy sources to compete with conventional power plants. Such systems can be used to match the intermittent production of power from irregular sources, such as wind and solar power, with variations in demand. Earlier post.).

Congress has provided hundreds of billions of dollars to speed the deployment of clean-energy technologies. As legislation worked its way through Congress, Jenkins’s team provided elected officials, staffers, and stakeholders with a running tally of the possible trade-offs and payoffs in emissions, jobs, and economic growth.

Natural gas will play a leading role in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions over the next several decades, largely by replacing older, inefficient coal plants with highly efficient combined-cycle gas generation, according to a major new interim report out from MIT. The first two reports dealt with nuclear power (2003) and coal (2007).
