Soft wood, such as spruce or pine, packs less than 10 megajoules per liter, whereas bituminous coal has 2.5 times as much energy by volume and at least twice as much by mass. The best energy density now commercially available in very large quantities for lithium-ion batteries is at 750 Wh/L, which is widely seen in electric cars.

I suspect that the correct plug will be of a twist-lock design as is typical of many higher voltage and amperage plugs used in commercial service and for industrial equipment. Perhaps you should have checked that before posting. as stated. 5 Clayton B. Cornell said on April 20th, 2009 at 4:43 am Emily, thanks for spell checking for us.

Second, conventional coal and nuclear plants are being retired for economic and policy reasons, removing stable sources from the grid. That would mean installing vast amounts of energy storage, such as. These can be grouped into two broad categories: commercial and industrial loads, and residential loads. Here’s how.

Human culture, with its voracious desire for heat and energy—combined with a population expanding exponentially—poses a catastrophe without historical parallel. The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace.

Lithium, nickel metal hydrides and even advanced lead acid products are now capable of great energy storage and have strong recycle lives. If you take care of your vehicle and are conscious of the fuel it uses, why would you want to use a stranger’s used energy-storage device every day?

But its monumentally less pollution , even on the national (half-coal) grid. The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) estimates that the current power grid could handle many tens of millions of cars plugging in at off-peak hours before wed have any capacity issues [See EPRI article PDF ]. What about battery safety?
