Gil Weigand of Oak Ridge National Laboratory outlined his vision of a critical solution to the energy, climate and ensuing national security threats facing the US: the Net-Zero Neighborhood (NZN). Actually delivering commercially viable 500-mile batteries will require exascale computing—i.e., The Net-Zero Neighborhood.

These statistics include full-scale vehicles with a plug (plug-in hybrids and battery electric vehicles) and do not include smaller neighborhood electric vehicles, natural gas fueled vehicles, or traditional hybrids (without a plug). Interest in these cars is growing.

A Battery for Heat Made from Sand Noted chemical engineer Donald Sadoway is quoted as saying: “If you want to make a dirt-cheap battery, you have to make it out of dirt.” But even with recent advances in battery technology, storing electric power remains relatively expensive, especially at the scale required for heating buildings.
