Using the PHEV (Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle) to Transition Society Seamlessly and Profitably From Fossil Fuel to 100% Renewable Energy

Green Car Congress

In this paper PHEV refers solely to the long-range PHEV of 60 miles (100 km) electric-only range.) The PHEV does not require the heavy, costly batteries required by other electric cars, nor does it suffer from a limited range or poor freeway performance. It offers a range of elegant solutions to a number of problems.

ARPA-E awarding $60M to 23 projects; dry cooling and fusion power

Green Car Congress

The integration of these two innovations will result in a heat pump system with enhanced performance at a regeneration temperature of 80 °C and a system cost of less than $150 per kilowatt of thermal power. The PLSS consists of a highly compact, low-cost air pre-cooler that transfers the heat load to a TES system. ALPHA AWARDS.
