Analysts and power insiders sketch scenes including interconnected local renewable grids that draw on short-duration battery storage (including the small batteries in electric vehicles in a garage, models for which Tesla just happens to make) combined with multi-day storage for power generated by wind and solar.

Since the 1980s, a permanent magnet based on a compound of neodymium, iron, and boron (NdFeB) , has dominated high-performance applications, including motors, smartphones, loudspeakers, and wind-turbine generators. So if not rare-earth permanent magnets for Tesla’s next motor, then what kind?

The EDISON (Electric Vehicles in a Distributed and Integrated Market using Sustainable Energy and Open Networks) research consortium will seek to match power generation from wind turbines on the island of Bornholm, Denmark, with the power consumption of charging plug-in electric cars. The project is partly funded by the government of Denmark.

In the late 1980s, the cold winds of commerce brought on the second AI winter. But the cheap computers that supplanted expert systems turned out to be a boon for the connectionists, who suddenly had access to enough computer power to run neural networks with many layers of artificial neurons. By 2017, the team had 1.5 million rules.

Auerbach adds that due to economies of scale and over capacity in the industry “ wind energy should have a 20% reduction in equipment costs within the next year ” and he has seen realistic projections of “ solar, with a 10% tax credit, being competitive with baseline generation in 2020 ”.

they have a degree of autonomy beyond the reach of federal government and can often make tough decisions: for example, California’s climate goals and London’s congestion charging. Wind, solar and nuclear could easily change our electrical sources. .&# Environmentalists see another advantage to local entities ?
