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. Well, let's think. And nature ‘messed’ with that judgment.” She looked at a recent study out of the U.S.

80x30: U.S. Clean Energy Standard Accelerates Transition to Renewables

AUGUST 26, 2021

To reach the 80x30 goal, the US power grid would need to add between 60 and 80 GW of new clean power every year (double the record 35 GW of renewables added in 2020). Many have set renewable portfolio standards (RPSs), mandating that renewables make up a certain part of the power grid. It may seem daunting.

APRIL 7, 2011

Greater knowledge of the lifetime value of EV IT systems, including the financial benefits from reducing carbon emissions, would make it easier for utilities to justify the investment. EVs are expected to be purchased in clusters around neighborhoods that have historically seen high adoption of hybrid vehicles, Pike notes in the report.

And with that EV story— so last time I was home in Ireland, one of the stories was— so they had bought this fleet of buses to put in Dublin to replace these double-decker buses, electric double-deck, to help Ireland hit its carbon targets.
