In 2001, a team of engineers at a then-obscure R&D company called AC Propulsion quietly began a groundbreaking experiment. It occurred in the wake of the California electricity crisis of 2000 and 2001, when mismanaged deregulation, market manipulation, and environmental catastrophe combined to unhinge the power grid.

Another major shift is that China has become a voracious energy importer, especially of coal and liquefied natural gas. Like the United States, China has become among the world’s largest importers of oil, gas and coal. But when the publication topped 400 pages, distribution was switched to CDs in 2001.

When a fuel gas containing hydrogen is passed over the fuel electrode (the anode), the oxygen ions migrate through the crystal lattice to oxidize the fuel. Founded in 2001, Bloom Energy can trace its roots to the NASA Mars space program. Electrons generated at the anode move out through an external circuit, creating electricity.

In 2001 she terminated our grass lawns and replaced them with drought tolerant plants because of her concerns for water use. So not only is climate change-driven drought cutting our fresh water supply, but the way we use water here also adds to our greenhouse gas emissions. That’s about a 25% reduction.

In 2001 I began driving an electric car, obtaining the last of the ZEV mandate-required EVs. A Level III fast charger can be installed for about $100,000, compared to millions for a gas station and perhaps $1 million for a battery swap station. Which finally brings me to the fast charger I saw the other day in Vacaville, CA.

Out in the desert as part of Burning Man , our encampment, Snow Koan Solar, is setting up a solar photovoltaic EV Charging Station (at 7:30 and Desert) for electric scooters, golf carts, sofas and barstools. We'll also be taking Burning Man art projects off petroleum generators by switching them to solar electricity.

You can fill it up at the gas station, and you can plug it in to any 120-volt outlet. But when you do, your car essentially becomes an electric vehicle with a gas-tank backup. So youll have a cleaner, cheaper, quieter car for your local travel, and the gas tank is always there should you need to drive longer distances.

Starting around 2001, the compound semiconductor gallium nitride fomented a revolution in lighting that has been, by some measures, the fastest technology shift in human history. When the device is on (when 6 V are applied to the gate), electrons flow from the drain to the source in a flat region called a two-dimensional electron gas.
