Profiteering Hampers U.S. Grid Expansion

Cars That Think

The deficit is driving up electricity prices, reducing grid reliability, and hobbling renewable energy deployment. grids demands public scrutiny and accountability. Proposed new transmission lines in the upper Midwest could connect at least 28 gigawatts of wind and solar to regional networks. Their grip over the backbone of U.S.

The unique role some Tribal nations are taking in the EV transition

Plug in America

The benefits that Tribal communities bring to the clean transportation movement are not limited to access to EVs and EV charging infrastructure alone. Tribal innovation is also coming from the electrical grid. This has been particularly important given Wyoming’s overall hesitance toward EV charging infrastructure deployment.

What is Electrification of Transportation?

Driivz

Clean electricity makes a difference. In the US, 36% of electricity is generated using renewables, including wind, solar, and hydropower, as well as non-CO2-emitting nuclear power. Beyond environmental benefits, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology will help stabilize the grid and meet increased demand for electricity to power from EVs.

IEA: Estonia is pioneering technologies for more efficient and cleaner use of oil shale

Green Car Congress

Enefit Technology comprises a novel combination of processing units, each of them serving special purposes such as drying and pyrolysis of oil shale, combustion of semi-coke, as well as the dedusting and cleaning of vapors and gases. Waste heat is used to generate electricity, making Enefit shale oil plants net producers of electricity.

The Future of Fission Reactors May Be Small

Cars That Think

But if one persistent cadre of nuclear optimists are right, then Linglong One could be a model for fission’s future in an age of clean energy. When it comes online in 2026, Linglong One will have a capacity of 125 megawatts of electricity (MWe)—equivalent to around 40 onshore wind turbines. startup NuScale.
