And yet more air conditioning exacerbates the very problem—climate change—that is driving the need for more air conditioning. The machines are already generating electricity at scores of installations, and the company’s backers include some of the biggest names in tech investing, including Bill Gates and Vinod Khosla.

People were really interested in clean air and clean water, so I decided there would always be interest in the environment,” Crawford says. As part of that effort, she installed and operated a receiving station to acquire and analyze data from the U.S. She switched her major to civil and environmental engineering.

The discovery came when MIT researchers Byoungwoo Kang and Gerbrand Ceder found out how to get a common lithium compound to release and take up lithium ions in a matter of seconds. Installing a dedicated circuit panel say a 200 amp model could be an alternative or supplement to public fast charging stations. Like this post?
