2021 was a big year for energy-related news, what with the ongoing hunt for new forms of energy storage and cleaner if not carbon-free electricity and events and research that spotlighted the weak links in our power grid. We’ll still have to do the hard work of cutting carbon emissions, but geoengineering could be a way to buy us some time.

Have you heard of bidirectional EV chargers and are thinking of buying one for your EV but still not really sure what they do? Whilst with unidirectional (one-way) EV chargers, electricity flows from the electric grid into the electric vehicle, with bidirectional (two-way) EV chargers, electricity can flow both ways.
