Cheap Coal Solar Store 
Cars That Think

When we turn up the heat in our homes and workplaces, we must balance our personal need for warmth with the global impact of burning fossil fuels like oil, gas, coal, and biomass. This means that storing and distributing energy is as important as its generation. The apparent contradictions do not end there.

The arrival of cheap battery storage will mean that it becomes increasingly possible to finesse the delivery of electricity from wind and solar, so that these technologies can help meet demand even when the wind isn’t blowing and the sun isn’t shining. trillion of that going to wind and solar and a further $1.5

The falling cost of making hydrogen from wind and solar power offers a promising route to cutting emissions in some of the most fossil-fuel-dependent sectors of the economy, such as steel, heavy-duty vehicles, shipping and cement, according to a new report from BloombergNEF (BNEF). Storing and moving hydrogen is challenging.

During the late innings of the ICE-age (as in the Internal Combustion Engine age) it has become clear that feeding gasoline and diesel to the next billion new cars is not going to be easy, or cheap. Coal still supplies more power in the US than anything else, with natural gas next. The arithmetic is pretty simple. Click to enlarge.

Solar also generates a good share of the power generated when the sun shines. We have closed most of the coal plants and several the aging nuclear plants are moving offline as they close for repair of reach end of life. Why, simple the US embraced Fracking to produce bountifully supplies of cheap gas. Nuclear 15%. Biomass 5%.

More significantly it must be realized that hydrogen, just like a battery, is not an energy source in itself, but simply a means of storing energy. Most commonly it is refined from conventional coal seam gas, often termed ‘natural gas’ to greenwash what it really is, in essence just methane found with other fossil-fuel deposits.

And in a true smart grid, electric cars will not only be able to draw on electricity to run their motors, they will also be able to do the reverse: send electricity stored in their batteries back into the grid when it is needed. “Electric vehicles could be connected to the grid and could store energy at times when too much is produced
