MIT researchers conclude fundamental changes in the US energy-innovation system are needed to meet challenges of climate change and energy supply

Green Car Congress

A three-year study by a team of researchers based at MIT has concluded that fundamental changes are needed in the US energy-innovation system. Neither the failure of global and US climate policy nor the emergence of other pressing issues changes the facts about climate and energy.

California PUC requires SCE to procure at least 50 MW of new electrical capacity in LA Basin from energy storage systems

Green Car Congress

This approach is a major step forward in our efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change. Going forward, SCE’s customers will not be solely reliant on a fossil fueled electric supply. Today’s decision takes a creative new approach to integrating preferred resources into our long-term planning process.

Siemens presents three-point plan for implementing cost-efficient energy transition in Germany

Green Car Congress

With efficiency ratings of more than 60%, an advanced combined cycle power plant emits less than half the CO 2 produced by a new coal-fired power plant, and wind power is well on its way to be able to deliver electricity as cost-effectively as conventional energy sources. Climate Change Europe Policy Power Generation'
