The 100% electric school bus fleet is not only emissions-free but also plays a critical dual role as a Virtual Power Plant (VPP), giving 2.1 gigawatt hours (GWh) of energy back to the power grid at scale annually. Today, over 90% of the US’s 500,000 school buses run on carbon-based fuels, releasing over 8.4 Get started here. –

Jenkins has also helped push Congress to think more seriously about the power grid, releasing a report last year that showed that much of the 43 percent emissions reduction expected by 2030 would be squandered if the United States doesn’t double the pace of transmission upgrades. power-grid transmission.

As a bonus, the tech onboard the balloons runs on solar power. Compared to Starlink’s sky-cluttering swarms of tiny satellites, San Francisco–based Astranis’s plans may seem old school. The transmission line will sidestep the growing difficulties of connecting renewable-energy sources to the power grid.
