In a region known for long, dark winter nights, Polar Night Energy is building a system in the city of Tampere that can heat buildings with stored solar energy — all day, all night, and all winter long. The intermittent nature of daylight and strong winds, however, is a stubborn problem. The apparent contradictions do not end there.

There is no end of gushing about China’s cheap solar panels—but when was the last time you saw a paean to hydroelectricity? Instead, that pure status is now reserved above all for wind and solar.

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. The cost to operate an EV, per mile, is already well below the cost to drive a standard ICE-age model, and the advantage is likely to widen.
