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. No battery is perfect, however, so engineers keep pushing for new and improved ways to store those electrons.

Electric vehicles are powered by electricity stored in rechargeable batteries or obtained from other sources such as hydrogen fuel cells. The battery pack stores electrical energy and supplies power to the electric motor. The absence of engine noise enhances the driving experience and reduces noise pollution in urban areas.

Fialka Wall Street Journal March 26, 2007 AUSTIN, Texas -- Of all the plans cooked up by cities to combat pollution and global warming, the one hatched here is among the most ambitious -- and, some say, one of the more quixotic. Here's part of his story.

Unlike traditional internal combustion engine vehicles that emit pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter, EVs produce no emissions during operation. The electric drivetrain is highly efficient in converting stored energy from batteries into motion, minimizing energy waste.

The winds had barely died down when electric-power specialists and others began calling for a radical overhaul of Puerto Rico’s electricity networks, one that would emphasize renewable energy, distributed generation, and, critically, microgrids. The fire station, barber shop, and several grocery stores are all powered by solar energy.

There is an exception to that in the category of what they call super pollutants, the very powerful but shorter-lived gases and chemicals that come from things like fertilizer production, methane. So that was a long-winded answer to your question. So those are really important, and those are a little bit different. So that’s one class.
